Xin Chao (hello)HEllo Hello Hello. SO im not heaps good writing in this journal sorry. i feel weird kinda writing and not sure if anyone reads. like i know when i send emails you have to read them, or at least delete them, but this is weird. so anyway, to anyone who is reading this we are in Hanoi airport. This mornign we woke up at 5:45. amy actually woke up at 12:30am, 2:30 am, 3:00am, 4:20am and then 5:30am. crazy. we were having our icecream cocktails last night with our friends Peter and Chantell from Holland and saying how we fly out on tuesday, which we thought was the 17th.... back at our hotel last night at 11:30, getting ready for bed. i was writing in my journal and hadn't done so for a while so i had no idea what date it was, except that on the 15th a new law in Vietnam came in to make everyone riding moto's to wear helmets. so i knew that. then ames was like 'what date is it' and i said the 15th. but we knew that the law came in the day before, because everyone was wearing their helmets, and theyt wouldn't if they didn't have to (believe me!!). so amy checked the ticket and we were like, CRAP WE ARE FLYING OUT TOMORROW!!!! we had to go wake up the bell boy and ask for a wake up call early. note why amy couldn't sleep because she thoguth that we wouldn't wake up in time. i kinda was like, 'it will work, whatever'. i think i annoy her with my 'she'll be right mate'- aussie attitude to life. so we got to the airport at 7:40 because our taxi driver drove like a friggin maniac and the journey took 35mins instead of the usual hour. so we have to kill 2hours till our 10:05 flight.
we land in Saigon and then have to catch a bus to Phomn Penh. i have never been on an international bus ride before, its kind of a foriegn concept in australia i guess! we have to get out at the boarder, be frisked and walk over the boarder and change buses apparently. will be visiting some friends Brian and Lisa who work with SERVANTS to Asias Urban Poor in a slum. should be good for something different i think. im ready for some detox!!
spend a few days with them then go to Ancor Wat temples. then off to thailand for chrissy is the plan. see what adventures happen between now and then. will try to attach some photos soon. we already have a few hundred!!! AHHH
love to all
