218 * SAIGON

Jan 25, 2007 10:23

So I've spent 6 days in Saigon, otherwise known as Ho Chi Minh City, and the most groundbreaking thing that has happened to me yet is my burning a towel in my hotel room. The previously immaculately white towel is now brown and has a hole in it - all thanks to my aversion to bright light which set forth a whole series of incidents that are far too ( Read more... )

OMG. i think... (if im correct) the same thing happened to teammates in mongolia - except they burned their erm white jackets. the nike one that was like 100$ that everyone was loaned.

it was hilarious and sad. $100!

Once I set fire to a pillowcase! But that was my own fault for leaving magnifying lenses around. Sounds like you're having an awesome time, though!

I am thinking of taking law, but would love a reason not to (because I am so indecisive I am going to pick my course by a process of elimination). Make me think twice! defenestratedly@gmail.com (unless you're busy. You sound busy!! I hope you're having fun :)

haha why on earth did you leave magnifying lenses around! and yea it is fun in a novel way because there is no one to tell me what to do (with regards to the way i live) and that means being able to wake up at my own time (in time for work of course), choose what i want to eat, etc etc.

i haven't really been using my brain much but have to work long hours everyday so i guess if that's what you mean by busy! enjoy school, how's life?

hello! THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. at jubilee hall, i left my poor quiksilver poser jacket next to one of those broadwayesque mirrors lined with megawatt lightbulbs, and it burned a HUGE circular hole in it! (i was VERY fond of that Poser Jacket!)

i am interested in doing law! i've been on attachments and i'm (surprisingly!!)not put off yet! BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW UGLY IT CAN GET.
