We’ve just spent the last week having a mini “holiday” in the beach town of Nha Trang, Vietnam. As mentioned in our last post, we stayed with our friends Charlie and Pippa and it was nice to just hang out with them and their friends – having a break from organising sights to see, accommodation to stay, busses and transport, etc. We also took the opportunity to do some more diving and completed our Advanced Open Water course (tried to find Nemo but couldn’t see him anywhere). It was good to get back in the water and the activity was a welcome change from
all the sightseeing we’d been doing recently. As well as scuba diving, we also managed to fit in fun session on the local waterpark. No rules here and on one occasion we managed to squeeze a train of ten people on five tubes into one of the slides, which resulted in a number of injuries - ouch! Aswell, we visited a nearby mudbath where we had the satisfying sensation of covering ourselves in filth and letting it all dry on in the hot sun :)
If you’ve been following our blog closely, you may have caught reference to our “project” that we
are working on. Basically we have been recording videos of us doing a dance in various locations around the world (similar to Dancing Matt from YouTube for anyone who knows it). Where we meet friends, we get them to dance with us too :) Well Charlie and Pippa are actually out here teaching English and one day they managed to persuade their whole class to come down to the beach and dance with us. They told the class that it was to be used as a promotional video for encouraging English teachers to come to Vietnam! You’ll have to wait until we finish our trip before you can see the videos though.
One of the more memorable events of the week was being refused entry into a nightclub by a doorman who is about 3 feet tall and looks to be age 5 (honest!) We thought it was some kind of joke but the other doormen (who were proper adults) were carrying out his instructions....he was obviously the boss. We were very surprised to hear that he was actually 27! Judge for yourself from the photos below.

The other day we were talking about our further travel plans and came to the painful realisation that we only have one month left. This seems to have come from nowhere and the countdown is now on. We’re trying to decide how to spend this month given that our planned itinerary doesn’t fit with this timescale and we have to get to South Korea by September 18th for our flight to Sydney.
Oh yeah, and Conor bleached his hair in Nha Trang!
