Saigon, Vietnam

In the second picture, notice how smokey Sydney was that day - from all the bush fires. It cleared up the next day, though.

Yesterday I spent a beautiful day in Vung Tau at the Binh An resort which hasn't even opened yet, but it's a graciously landscaped plot of land on what I consider to be one of Vietnam's most commercially tacky beach towns. It's a beautiful haven to which you are wonderfully excluded from the rest of the peninsula. Unfortunately, my return to Vietnam this time is similar to that of my return in August - I'm grumpy. I'm grumpy because all of the littering and bribery and dishonesty of the country is intolerable after being in such magnificent countries as Australia and New Zealand. No matter, I will only be here for less than four weeks and I'll spend most of it on vacation outside of Saigon. Tomorrow I will go to the beach for 2 days and then head to Cambodia for about 3 or 4 days. Should be fun. Will try to get pictures up before I leave VN if possible. If not, you'll just have to wait till Spring. I'm BUSY for a retired person.
ciao,
