Gone with the Wind

Hmmmmmmm

and these are the decisions that will keep me up at night.

Calm down it's only tobacco. In Hanoi they love to take huge rips of the stuff, this man invited me for a smoke in the middle of the sidewalk.

This is Quy! he is a beast with the pipe.

he showed me around Hanoi on this beautiful steed, Honda '67

Dorm room at Hanoi University where I taught an american culture class! At one point during the lesson I noticed that their textbooks had a picture of the New York skyline with the towers still intact, which is pretty crazy in lieu of recent events.

Vietnamese Independence Day! It's good to be an american

Happy Buddah, not far from my current hotel up in the central mountains. He seems to know that the Giants are in first, and the Lakers are out.

Before making my way up towards the highlands, I stayed on the warm sunny beaches of mui ne for some R and R...

rented this horsey...

and visited some gigantic white sand dunes

Q: What do the next set of pictures have in common???

A: They are all taken at the same hotel called The Crazy House, boy is it crazy. If the Hilton family hired Dr. Seuss this is what it would look like. It is actually a fully operational institution, the cheapest room is $35 and has a kangaroo with red eyes staring directly at the bed, creepy.

and they lived happily ever after
