From small markets to high rises. Down south has a completely different feeling from up north. We finally made it back to the sandy beach scene. We met up with our friend Earl who we met in Hue. He's a curly headed Australian guy out to see the world just like us. I was fitted for a gray suit in Hoi An. This Is the town who specializes in tailoring. You walk through a neighborhood and peer into a household not to see a Vietnamese family but instead a dozen sowing machines with sweaty workers behind each one.
In Nha Trang there are many Russian tourists. When I'm walking the streets even the flyers the locals hand out are in Russian. The food is a bit more because of it, but for accommodations, we found a place with such soft beds for $12 a night. The ocean feels warm with large waves. We rented a couple paded chairs under a straw umbrella for a $1.50. I needed shade after getting a little red that first day. We ended up renting these chairs everyday after that. It's funny watching locals or most all of southeast Asians because they wear jeans and dress shirts or whatever they have on for the day into the water. They don't really have or wear swimsuits.
There's this sky tram that takes you across the ocean to a fantasy island called Vinpearl. Vinpearl is made up of a massive water park, amusement park and aquarium. While waiting in line to enter the park they entertain you with Tom and Jerry. It was actually fun. We went with this guy, William who approached and befriended us the day before and happened to be going the same day as us. William was quite terrified of the rides. He wouldn't go on any of them. I guess even the sky tram scared him. I can proudly say I now hold the new record for hammer slam on Vinpearl Island. Pretty stoked about that.
We found a fast food restaurant called Lotteria. It has happy hour from 10am-2pm. So what do we do? We make time to go there twice within that time period. Happy hour includes a complete combo meal for $1.70. We also found a mall and cinema whom the same complex. Movies were less than $2. We watched Hercules.
