Last night we made it to Vietnam, and are staying at a nice little hostel in bustling Ho Chi Minh City. Our cab ride from the airport to our hostel was pretty interesting. Never before have I seen so many motorbikes....they're everywhere! And nobody seems to care about obeying traffic laws.
The rest of our time in Thailand was fun. I enjoyed the elephant riding and white water rafting, and got to meet some cool people from Slovakia and Slovenia. We took a train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok so we could fly from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh. The train ride was over 15 hours long. Our seats turned into bunk beds during the night, but neither of us slept very well, and they woke us up at 4:45am so we could get ready for arrival....which didn't happen until after 6:00. I really would have appreciated the extra hour of sleep, but apparently that was not an option since they continued to come past yelling 'good morning' until everyone got up.
After the train ride, plane ride, and taxi rides, I was starting to feel pretty sick by last night. I'm doing much better this morning though, so that's good.
