In Vietnam

Well, 4th day in Vietnam and still surviving. Haven't been mugged, kidnapped, molested nor raped yet. Even better, given the chaotic traffic conditions here, I have yet to be involved in an accident. That sure has to be a good sign.

Of course, with my backpack, I'm practically a walking dollar sign, so I guess getting ripped off now and then isn't that surprising. So far it has been good. Meeting fellow travellers and locals has given me good enough tips and help.

Right now, I'm in Hoi An waiting for my bus to Hue with more than 2 hours more to spare. Hoi An is a small place, so there aren't a lot of places for me to walk around. Certain places are a little out of town, within walkable distance, but looking at the overcast sky now, I doubt I would like to be venturing far from the hotel.

Just read another typhoon is due to hit Vietnam. A maybe for now as it might veer towards China or Hong Kong. So crossing my fingers now, because I'm heading up north where it is one of the projected paths for the typhoon.

Signing off.
