massive photo post: vietnam

ok so hip hip hooray, i got my camera screen fixed today! omg, that rhymed, im so bad ass. it was half the price i expected it to be and only took a couple of hours and now im at an internet cafe (at hanoi spirit house, pooge!) and i can finally take some time to upload some pictures!

this is from guangzhou but i just like it, the evolution of the chinese woman:

me and john mimicking a war statue/monument, cause were so very cool:

we're fucking millionaires (i love vietnamese money, you feel so rich tossing around 20,000 dong bills):

me posing eastern european calendar girl-style in front of a tank at the war museum:

daniel (aussie), john and ib playing around with their big canons at the museum:

mini, me and alexia (my fabulous hair stylist) scootin' around town:

we attempted to go out on a tourist outing during tet and everything was closed so we posed outside a closed door on the little island in the middle of the lake in the old quarter:

ed (irish who was my dedicated lap dancing pupil), john, filipp (german) and mini during our new years eve roof top party. words cannot fully describe what is taking place in this picture. its just...something else.:

this photo is slightly disturbing (not as much so as the one directly above, john disagrees) but thats us trying our very best to start off a tacky bikini party for new years. and to my ladies back home, how much are you lovin my blue eyeshadow?:

chilling with smoe locals as they strummed their guitars and sang beatles songs on the steps of the old st. joseph's cathedral near our hostel at like 4 am:

along the wooden walkway on the side of cat ba island to the boys' secluded hut hang out on the beach:

the 'huts'. john and mini got to share a little tent, john says it was a warm and fuzzy experience. warm and fuzzy from vodka. as in john broke a beer fridge that nite but adamantly denied it was him that broke it and instead tried to distract the beach police by claiming his bag had been stolen.:

me and my swedish sister linn on the roof of our boat:

so this is an example of the islands in ha long bay that we were trying so hard to describe in literary terms last nite. this one the captain told me is called 'turtle' island cause well, it looks like a turtle:

cruisin' ha long bay:

the good ship suckysucky boomboom! (i forget if i wrote it before but we got our 2 day, 1 nite boat, our 4 person crew, and all our wonderful meals for only $22US/person, fantastic:

inside the caves:

the workplace of our master chef aboard the boat. all that yummy food, without the aid of fresh water or electricity! amazing. and perplexing...:

the inside of our super posh cabin:

me with our boat crew!:

this is the murderous fatty monkey that john has decided to name "sumo sammy the banana nazi":

us clinging onto jagged rocks for dear life atop monkey mountain:

ok well ive had quite enough of this so now its time for some ice cream! and tomorrow nite we get on an overnite train to sapa but what kinda blows is that we just got our tickets today and all that's left are hard seat tickets so we'll be spending 10 hours sharing hard benches with the locals...
