Blue Ocean Resort

hey guys!! i just got back from Mui Ne, Phan Thiet. Mui Ne being like a city or town, Phan Thiet being the province. Anyway, it's like this hot spot for resorts cuz of the ocean and what not. It was generally a lot of fun since i was with a lot of my family, but shitty cuz i couldn't swim in the ocean due to some sea weed dying and creating this seafoam that won't dissolve making it looks really gross. but other than that, the resort was really really nice. I even went to a spa for the first time in my life, got a full body massage too. one word: awkward. why? cuz a) i'm not used to baring my chest for strangers to see. b) i'm ticklish as you know. and c) b leads into c, i couldn't really relax cuz it was trying so hard not to laugh. but other than that it was quite the experience, and it was fun. i'd totally go to a spa again. ha ha ha ha ha.

oh another funny story, i have this aunt, she's like really old, like grandma old. and we were done eating breakfast and we were on our way back to our rooms, and then this little toddler, who's like russian i think, gets in her way. and she's goes(in viet here) "omg! he's so cute!! he's so cute! he so cute!!" and starts chasing the kid. and oh. my. god. it was so funny cuz the toddler was so scared, and i think my aunt scared the parents too thinking, "omg, what is this crazy old lady doing with my kid!" but they like just kinda gave one of those weird laughs, you know, the kind where it's like, "ha.. ha... he... really now, just stop". i unno, it was just so funny, you just have to see a picture of my aunt to know how much she scared that kid.

While I was there, I also went to the red and white sand dunes. Said to be big tourist attractions, but really there's nothing to do but slid down them and get sand in your underwear. it was depressing and frustrating too cuz when i first got to the red sand dunes, all these kids were bomb barding me to choose them to go down the sand dunes. they're like, "miss! miss! choose me! I'm really good!!" and, "no! don't choose him, choose me!" and it was crazy, so many kids shouting at me, I didn't know what to do. In the end I chose two girls, Kim and Mi. I have to say I admired their physical abilities, for being oh, i'd say about 10 or 12 they could go up and down sand dunes like crazy and not even break a sweat, but it broke my heart how that was there life, and that was all too it and they depend on tourist to survive. I asked if they went to school, and they told me none of the kids there went too school cuz it was too much money, so they give rides to make money for their familys to survive. I also asked how much money they got doing this and they said it all depends on the person, they could give as much or as little as they wanted. My cousin paid them and another little boy who took her down. she went once, while I went 5 times, so i felt bad, so I gave them w.e I had left in my wallet which was worth about 7 dollars Canadian. Then my family and i went for some drinks, drinks being coconut, god i'm sick of coconut. But the whole tiem I was there I was being bombarded by people trying to sell me shirts. It was pissing the hell out of it. It's like you tell 'em no, but they don't listen. It's like that practically everywhere here. So many people trying to sell you stuff you don't even want to buy but they just don't stop. Like you want to help, but really you can't help everyone.

Well, that's it for now!! I'll be home in, oh i unno, a week? I've lost track of the days of the week here, i don't know what day it is, so I assume a week. Ha ha ha!!

Bye!
