Day 2 (super lazy)

It was a well deserved super lazy day though. Especially after walking, and walking yesterday. The zoo was a rough walk after a five hour flight. My body decided to tell me that news this morning. I woke up glued to the TV for the movie Unknown. Even the little dining area downstairs had it on, so I could finish it up. I've been planning the rest of my week throughout various parts of the day as well. I have a hotel, cooking class, a Mekong Delta tour, and a few other things lined up for now. It would be really nice to just stay here, but I may get my butt to Cambodia next week.

I enjoyed a tour with a wonderful motorbike rider today. When we finished lunch though, we were introduced to a monsoonish-downpour The rain slowed down eventually, but still forced me to change a few things up for the day. I went to a local spa for a massage, a nice shave (since I forgot my razors), and some facial treatment thing, that was pleasant. I came back to the hotel, and relaxed a little bit, before making it to the famous Ben Tranh Market for a little meal. I spoke with some guys who were Asian Americans that are from the Michigan area. One has a father in Vietnam, and the other grew up in Korea. So their trip was going from Vietnam to Korea, and then catching a ferry to Japan, before starting the next chapters in their lives.
