All in a nights work

Tourguide "To".

This package in my hand is shampoo. The first day I didn't know. It looks like maybe mouthwash? No writing indicate in English that it is shampoo. I used only soap that day.

Yesterday I was invited to my friend's home. Had good food met his father and sister. Good. First time I see a vietnames home. The buildings are narrow and have often 5 floors. They live near the university. We passed by a classroom randomly located on the block. It was packed. This was in the eve.

Later I went back to Hoan Kiem lake and talked to this guy. He is studying and soon finishes as tourguide. But to find job may be difficult. Meanwhile he approaches tourists and try to sell books. I explained I don't need anything. At least he tried. Instead he stayed and we talked. His spoken English was quite good. At some point he bought some tea for us. The night was a bit chilly. But no rain. On course of the night various people pass by. Some "offers" are funny. Others are sad.

At 1 we went for a drink in a night club. It was pretty hightech in light installation and had high blinkelichtfactor. Mitch would have liked that part!

Then we went to a dust cafe and ate cirn cobbs grilled there till late. Drinking tea.

Hanoi is the place for strong tea on the street. Didn't really find it in Saigon. Coffe is better choice there.

But in conclusion. Sleep is good.
