Hello Vietnam

Reading this blog, one might think that I spent all my time in Cambodia and none in Vietnam, but that's actually not true. I spent 2 days in Vietnam and 3 in Cambodia. The ship docked in Ho Chi Minh City for the entire 5 days, and I leftthe country briefly during our time there. While I was in Vietnam, I enjoyed:

1) A traditional Vietnamese Massage at The Golden Lotus Foot Massage Club. This was AMAZING. Both the service and the price are reason enough to fly to Vietnam. I got 120 minutes of massage including swedish, deep tissue, reflexology, warm stone, shiatsu, and chiropractic massage techniques as well as 2 tea ceremonies serving Lotus, ginseng, and green teas as well as fruit for 21$, tip inclusive!!!!!!!!!!! I was so boneless when I left that I had to be wheeled out. Every part of me was relaxed. Just thinking about it makes me sigh.

2) I had chicken nuggets and watched the World Series Game on a flat screen. 'Nuff said. Ain't technology grand?

Vietnam is a great country, and I loved my time there again. It was one of my favorite ports on the first trip, and I am happy to say that remains the case today. I was astounded by the amount of development and progress that have been made in the mere 9 years since I visited. More buildings, more skyscrapers, more cars... and still no way to cross the street without taking your life into your hands. :)
