It's not a Blog! (it's a friendly update): Hippies.

Hoi An, Vietnam.

Ok, let's talk about hippies. Love to make fun of them. They are just so...dirty. So a lot of the backpackers and travellers we pass are dirty, dirty hippies and whisper it as they pass by in their harem pants (sorry, Archer) and scraggly hair. Some of the pants we've been seeing are truly hideous - like harem pants where they are baggy but synch at the ankles with chaotic designs that do nothing flattering to the wearer. I was making fun of said pants, until I got 18 bug bites (and counting). Now I think the hippies may be onto something, so I got a pair (and haggled for it - ah!) of plain colored ones (I'm no hippie), and we'll see if they are comfortable in the scorching hot weather AND keep me from being mosquito food all day long.

We are still in Hoi An (staying at the An Hoi hotel, obvi), and have found what Anthony Bourdain (TV food chef) decreed, "the best banh my (sandwich) in all of Vietnam" - and we've eaten there twice. It is definitely one good sandwich - we had the chicken, the pork and then consulted another couple here and went back for "the everything with egg on top". My favorite food so far has been the chocolate croissant that we get at patisserie down the street - NOM NOM NOM.

Next up we were going to hit Saigon (aka Ho Chi Minh), but have decided to skip it and head straight for Siem Reap (Cambodia) to see Angkor Wat in all it's glory - be ready for a ton of pictures of that place. It sounds pretty amazing.
