Saigon

so we just got back from a week trip to see some new stuff.  unfortunately i forgot the charger for my camera so all you get for now is pictures of saigon.  as soon as i get pics of nha trang and the other areas from the girls i will post them.  you cant see, but i will explain what we did.  so we took a 32 hour train there which was uncomfortable.  saigon was pretty awesome!  we took a tour of the cu chi tunnels that were used in the war and met a lot of really cool people there.  we stayed in the backpacker area which is really cool because it is mostly kids our age who wither just graduated or are taking time off to see the world.  we soon discovered that when people are traveling by themselves for up to a year they are very very friendly.  people we met became our instant friends and it is really cool staying in a backpacker district because at restaurants and stuff we would see a lot of the same people and they would invite us to eat or watch a game or play pool or something.  very cool.  other than saigon the other big part of our adventure was nha trang.  if you ever come to vietnam you need to visit nha trang.  the beach is beautiful and it is very cheap.  the hotel was right on the beach, literally i could have thrown a rock from my room into the ocean and it only cost me about $12 a night.  the most expensive rooms in the hotel (which was 4 stars) was $46.  while we were there we beach bummed a lot and rented a boat along with some other people we met and went island hopping and snorkeling.  we went with a bunch of people on a scuba diving trip through vietnam, new zealand, and australia, and a brittish guy.  they were all really cool but by far the best part was that the vietnamese guys that we rented the boat from were musicians (of sorts) and were nice enough to give us a free concert.  good stuff.
