Ghosts

Tonight I will return Sai Gon from the beautiful resort town of Hoi An, our last stop on the Central Region Tour. A recap of the last twenty-four hours:
  • Going to a beautifully empty beach near Hue (Bien Lang Co).
  • More swimming in the pool at our resort.
  • Drinking the best mojitos in the world in a beautiful South-American-styled cafe while dodging the rain.
  • Getting custom fitted for a pair of sneakers and a new pair of sandals, both for about $25 USD total.
  • Hitting on a drop dead gorgeous 28-year-old Viet Kieu from Philadelphia. She is the hostess of the Mango Room (home of aforementioned best mojitos in the world) along with her boyfriend (doh!). After examining and wrapping her sprained ankle (what's a gentleman to do?) we had a wonderful dinner conversation and she gave our whole group a round of drinks on the house.
  • Her boyfriend is a great host and burly at that, so I didn't push my luck and invite her back to the hotel for a swim.
  • Walked to the swimming pool at the resort in a silk robe while holding a handle of Absolut Vodka - enough said. The pool here is very nice.
  • My roommates and I were haunted by a ghost in our hotel room at the resort last night. I'm just going to say that we both simultaneously woke up at 3am screaming bloody murder, which resulted in us not sleeping at all last night and huddling together in the hotel room. At 5am, we all ran out of the room screaming into the hallway. Good times.
