Vietnam again

Back to Vietnam after more than a year. This is one those charming countries with nice people, wonderful food and laidback environment. The airport landing visa counter is as chaotic as ever. The streets are still busy and heavy with traffic as bikes, cars and trucks jostle for limited space. The sound of horns is deafening. I think the traffic now is heavier than a year ago but maybe it's because of the timing of my arrival.

Vung Tau city hasn't changed much. There are some new shops but things have remained pretty much the same. The same people are selling their "wares" in front of the hotel and the same people are offering USD4/hr motorbike rides around town Sadly, my favorite Vietnamese restaurant has closed down. It has been quite tiring so far coz of the travelling time and seemingly endless routines of waiting and waiting. Work is quite relaxed... not much to do, like I said, it's lotsa waiting and waiting.
