In Vietnam

Sorry I haven't written but the internet at the resort was too expensive so I only did a couple of hours time to check emails. Then I got really sick, absolutely no energy with chills and congestion. I got a Z pack of antibiotics but I was not doing much for about 3 days.
The diving in Dumaguete of the Philippines was good with alot of soft coral and nice walls.There wasn't a whole lot to see. I guess I got spoiled diving in Indonesia a few months ago.
The resort was seclude so we mainly hung around and dove a couple of island nearby. We did go to a local market nearby on Wednesday to see the locals and get lots of photos. They have an animal auction with mainly water buffalo's, goats, and pigs. Boy did the pigs scream at times when their owner was walking them down the street. They had taxis which carried people along with their animals.

We flew to Manila with an overnight there and had to get up at 4 a.m. to take a 7:25 a.m. flight to Saigon. Then a day tour around the city. The traffic is just incredible with buses, vans, scooters, and bicycles all moving around together. Massive amounts of traffic and it seems like chaos but everyone gets around each other without running into one another.
Going to the night market tonight with a floating market in the morning. I loved the floating market in Thailand as you really get the local flavor plus there are some great pictures.
I will be more in touch from now on as I have my laptop and wireless.
