Bamboo head sculptures

Seems that in Hoian, Vietnam there is a lot of talent, and artists are treated with respect. There are even whole ships dedicated to an artists work. Makes me want to just go ahead and rent a shop back home. The novelty is that the artist is working on there art in view of the customer. This is just awesome for little messyfish to see. I am loving it too!

Doodling in Vietnam

I would've thought that I would draw travel related things... But I've not had much spare energy for creativity. Taking ourselves from the Australian country side directly into Saigpn has been a big change! We are now further up the coast, but still in a big city. Soon we will be in a quieter town. Maybe I'll have some energy for art there?

Saigon

We only spent 6 days in Saigon. I lived the busy crowded I there sting city but it was too hard for my need ending to run and be wild country boy, by myself. I was too worried about his safety and he was too worried about getting away from everyone!

Nha Trang

We made it out of Saigon alive! 6 hours on the train later we arrive in the beach city of Nha Trang. I skipped a few places I wanted to see, like the hill station Dalat, and a boat trip of the Mekong delta. I also changed my mind about going to Cambodia's Angkor Wat. I just needed to take care of my little country boy who likes wide open spaces, nature and peace. So I will adjust. He is already happier. So am I. I still get to be in a "strange" place, and he gets to experience abundance and mum using plenty of time for him. Especially now I don't cook, clean or wash!

Food in Vietnam Saigon

I can't access Facebook or my blog in Vietnam. It's blocked in this country for some reason. But I just realized a long time ago I set up an email account that feeds into blogger. Hope this is working. Unfortunately I personally can not go blogging and visiting you!
Interestingly I also can tweet, with it feeding into Facebook as status updates, but alas can not at this stage crack the code to get into Facebook !

Western food for little messyfish

Little messyfish and I discovered a shop selling imported NZ ice-cream . Now he is happy. Bananas, pizza and chocolate ice-cream are his staples in Saigon. What he is missing out on! The Vietnamese food is amazing. I can't stop eating it! My traveler pants are feeling a little errrr tight!
