Hey yeah I'm in Vietnam at the moment.

Oh my god its indescribable, I've learnt more here in a few hours than I have living seven months in Tokyo.

The challenge is just so awesome. To myself and my views. My whole approach to life and how I saw things.

Ohhh god I can't describe it, but the culture and the whole experience, well it's just PRICELESS hey.

And to think that I almost decided not to go coz then I'd save $1000...that compared to how this trip has changed my views about myself and life in just a few hours and the memories I'll take with me for a lifetime from it.

JEEZ. I mean it's just absolutely indescribable. And so damn cool :)

Have you read the book "The Beach"? It says in there "never say no to an invitation." And the waiter here just said he'd take us on his motorbike to his home village the day after tomorrow - it's famous for waterfalls and pineapple he says. What a unique experience! The PRICELESS kind.

Life is for living after all isn't it?

Anyway, I'm off to bed now, we've been travelling since 4am this morning and i've been a circus attraction the whole time being the only blond person in sight.

Its ok though, people are really nice and they always end up adopting me for the flight/trip whatever.

It's just I hate sticking out in a crowd, its my one thing that I really hate, I just like to blend in, but that's why I'm doing this I guess, to challenge myself.

Take Care and have a great week.
