weird day.

Sunday May Something at 10pm...

Today has been a weird day. Ah my laptop power is getting low so i tried to plug it in and it made a frying sound..not good.
Anyway, today we were in Saigon and we got up at had breakfast which was on the 7th floor for some reason. Then we went on the bus to a boat on the river and we rode it to a fruit market place where you sit down and have tea and fruit and people sing and play vietnamese music.
We tried a popular fruit here called...durine or something. It smells really badly and they say it tastes really good, lots of people love it. It looked like scrambled eggs and tasted like onions. It wasnt good at all.
No one liked it.
Then we went on a little boat with 4 people and a guy rowing, and we all had the vietnamese hats on in the boat and our guide told us to sing row row row your boat. It was fun.... it was down a little river with big palm trees and things like that along the sides and other boats passing us with everyone wearing the triangle hats.
Then we went to a factory where they make coconut candy and we tried some, it was good so we all bought some... then some people held a big snake, cobra or something.
Then we had some honey tea.
Then we went walking through the jungle, the actual jungle...weird... to the place where we had lunch. They brought us out a weird looking fish thing turned on its side and it actually was a fish but it looked like one a lot... and they made us spring roll ish things... they said if we wanted we could order a cobra. they would chop off its head and you can drink the raw blood and eat the beating heart then eat the cobra...
so most of the guys in the group decided to do that...
so they went and watched the guy cut off the cobras head. Then he came out with shot glass things of the blood mixed with rice wine... so they all had a shot of that. One girl did it, Gil... but then she threw up. Then they brought out the heart and meanwhile the waiter guy was saying sorry because he didnt know what was going on... one guy, Owen, ate the heart in a shot...
Then they brought out the cobra in a salad. meanwhile most other people weren't really hungry anymore... so most of us hardly ate anything that lunch.
Then it started thundering and it got really dark and it started raining really hard and we had to go back on the boats to the main land and we got al wet... then we went back to the bus and drove to the ferry where we had to get off the bus and walk with a bunch of motor bikes for some reason and on the ferry. And Gil was still sick... and we stoof the ferry then we came to Can Tho.... to our weird hotel... which everyone is afraid of.
There are lizards in the rooms and it's just weird.
We took pictures of it and of the ghosts.
People are saying it reminds them of Hostel or something.
We went for a walk to dinner and we heard a bunch of sirens and a parade was going down the street.
Then we got a little lost but made it back to the hotel. We have a sign on our door that says Courteny and Kaitlynn's Honeymoon Sweet.
And we took ghostly pictures here.
Tomorrow is our last day. Time has gone by fast.
