Frst day in Nam

Well I've officially survived my first day in Nam, and the first impressions are:

Busy, the number of people here is pretty intense,
Noone walks, if you are walking around, you're noone. Quite literally - the only people who walk are tourists.

This is a drink Nick ordered, he didn't really realise what he was getting, and then kinda chickened out of drinking it since it was probably tap water. We won't mention that I somehow ended up with his Chicken meal instead of the Beef I ordered and ended up eating nothing but the noodles.

More to come, but yeah, I'm doing well, and enjoying it all, particuarly the whole being on holidays thing!
