Vietnam: Day 1 in Danang

A quick blog entry from the local Danang internet cafe. I am surrounded by a bunch of locals and they are pretty much doing what kids do in Minnetonka which is IM with their friends. Crazy to watch.

This keyboard stinks and has Viet characters so I will either keep it short or chuck it through a window and get arrested.





Hoi An and Hue tours are out. The entire Central area is flooded and under water. We were at the airport today and the horror stories were endless about the flooding. One couple kept moving higher in their rooms as snakes and rats began making their moves.



We ended up at a dump called the Golden Gate Hotel. It was a bad theme party for the hotel. My room was in a half inch of water with no sheets and only a bed spread. It was on the 5th floor and the elevator was busted. The guys next to me had their door open, looked Korean, and were smoking cigs watching loud Asian game shows.

We walked to dinner for some warm beer and rice. More on that later when I have a working keyboard.
