So Bec, I have been thinking...following various circumstances involving food poisoning i have come up with the following theory! I have realised that the only times i (and many fellow travellers) have been sick has been when i have eaten at restaurants...we have the veggie spring roll ordeal in Sapa last year and Kaz and i had the killer seafood in Koh Chang, Thailand. This trip i have been mainly eating at food stalls in markets and roadside and never been sick (not including the koh chang prawns of death). my theory goes as follows: The restaurant is more likely to carry bacteria and have cross comination due to the fact that it isn't packed up, cleaned and moved everyday like food stalls. Also you can't see how they cook the food or how the food is stored! The food at stalls is fresh everyday because there aint no fridges! So far my theory has proved me right, though i won't hold my breath! ;)

Paul, my friend who is an art director has seen your blog/s, and says you should go to design school! She said you are very talented.. :-)
Mum thinks all this stuff is real hard so is not sure waht to do. Sufficient to say wow! Good to hear you've arrived. The beauty of another country is not just its monuments,the speccy scenes and countryside, etc, but the colour and life of its people, friendliness. Hope you continue to enjoy the trip, conquer the little stumbles that will be thrown up along the way, absorb it all and have fun

Glad that you all enjoy the experience of visiting Vietnam so far.
Here is a good site that offers some info on things/places/history in Vietnam you may find useful:

I was boarding in a seminary in Nha Trang for two years. It's located on a beautiful beach where you may visit. It has now been turned into a Vietnamese Maritime University, i believe.
Enjoy your visit.
Cheers
