Privileged position

In the small tourist-inspired province of Ninh Binh we took a 1 hour and 30 minute boat ride. As an introduction to the boat ride, our resident director said that the person limit was 2 foreigners per boat and 6 Vietnamese per boat. Of course I thought he was joking, but he wasn't. So we carefully boarded the boat, I in my child-size cai non and my

I AM WRITING YOU A REAL EMAIL TODAY AND I MISSSSSSS YOU!

Ahh! I can still see Shenee at the Middle East dancing like a crazy lady!! I had so much fun that night:-)

Thank Jesus above that I have had at least scant opportunities to bring the dance here. For the first couple weeks I was very VERY deprived. Last night we went to a club called EsCAPE(backwards "s"). It had really cheesy signs like "I don't give a ship) and something about cows and bulls. Nevertheless, since I am skilled in bringing the dance I had a fun time dancing with some Asian business man who liked to twirl. I also danced to Nirvana on the small stage on the dance floor and hit on some curly headed French dude. One tends to get gutsy when the eye candy is scarce.

thanks for sharing shenee! you have a good outlook and so i am sure you are up for many interesting experiences. i cant wait to hear more.

[sheneebo]

Yes, I am indeed having quite the adventure here. There really is a lot I would like to share with everyone, but time is very sneaky here. Days wither away at surprising speed.

Sorry your boat ride took a bad turn:-(
Keep the posts coming though! It is so interesting to read about the different experiences you are having. When are you coming back to the states?

[sheneebo]

I won't be coming back until June 10 or at least that is when the program ends. However, it is up in the air whether or not I will travel after the program ends.

i think i would have bought the tablecloth out of pity, which is wrong i guess. have you taken any pictures? not that you need to. i could see the mountains through your description and they were beautiful.

[sheneebo]

It was quite a grand sight. Being the procrastinator that I am, I didn't even purchase a camera before coming over here. So I am currently camera less. But I figure that the other people in my group will be taking the pictures for me. However, I am thinking of buying a cheap $50 camera and then come Christmas time, putting a digital camera on the list.
