It's a funny story, really

I finally digested my chicken and rice when Quynh's cousins came home and decided we were going to go have some Pho.... I thought it would be good to walk there to get some more exercise, but found out that I would instead be riding on the back of her aunt's scooter. Being my first time on a scooter, it was a little harrowing....

I'm tall, my legs are everywhere, the helmet didn't quite fit and I wasn't sure where to hold on. It was a good time.

The Pho was great, and really helped wash down the dinner I had finished an hour earlier.

After we ate, we thought it would be fun for her cousins and us to go around the city. We decided that Quynh would drive the moped with Trang on the back, and I would pedal the bicycle with Tom and we would visit the less-crowded side of town.

I hadn't been on a bike in a while, but it's kinda like... well, riding a bike. Quynh took off like a pro on the moped and the city looked beautiful. Unfortunately, after 300 yards Quynh forgot how to turn (and how to brake) and drove full-speed into the curb sending her and her cousin to the ground and snapping the front wheel completely off of the moped...... I dragged it home. Nobody was injured. Gonna take a shower and go to bed.... and make fun of Quynh, of course.

Long white legs, short moped

Two bowls of pho, please

Slow Down!

Our First Morning

Finally woke Quynh up around 8.... Went and got coffee down the street and had some eggs. Found out that by using the video camera as much as I do I only attract people asking for money... been saying "khong" (NO) a lot. Met up with Quynh's cousin, Tom, around 9 and he took us around Saigon. Had my first bowl of Pho in Vietnam and it was awesome. 'Won't stop eating for two weeks. About to head to the airport to travel to Da Nang en route to Hoi An. Take off at 3 local time.... Hope to eat some more before we get to the airport.
