Facebook

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that I have very limited access to Facebook in Vietnam. There are rules enforced here and some servers block the Facebook site, meaning that rarely will I be able to be on Facebook. Which means you should all follow my blog and contact your dear, far-traveled friend (that would be me) on my blog or simply by emailing me. All my contact information is on my Facebook page.

But since I am making this entry, I thought I would share a couple of things with you that have been exciting throughout the day.

Yummy, yummy in my tummy. It's hard to believe that this fresh-made juice and fried rice cost only about $5. The exchange rate is about 19,000 Vietnamese Dung per US dollar. 

1. There is a baby gecko that lives on our hotel room door. He or she is about 1.5 inches in length and is adorable. He isn't always around, but sometimes he creeps up on you. There are a ton of geckos around, outdoors, indoors, everywhere you can think. But thankfully, none of them have tried to sell me Geico car insurance...yet. 
2. The toilet in one of the cafes was very interesting. First, it didn't have a toilet seat cover. Second, you had to through your toilet paper away in a waste basket. Finally, to flush it, you had to scoop water from a bucket into the toilet. It was glorious. Apparently, these toilets are all over Vietnam, so I better get used to it. 

The street we are staying on in Saigon. It's kind of blurry because I was too embarrassed to take a flash photo.
