where i went. that colour green is making me feel sick.
for scale - looks disappointingly small like this 
Nha Trang
fishing village outside Nha Trang
my driver Minh with some sugarcane. he was rad.
pretty Dak Lak mountains
little girl with buffalo
can't really see here, but the mountains in the distance were completely razed by the Americans in the war, in order to kill the Viet Cong hiding there. it went from lush jungle to burnt wasteland, and even 40 years later, nothing grows there. lame-o.
elephant for farming - way cooler than a tractor 
i have lots of issues with elephants-for-tourists and wasn't really comfortable with this situation, but he did seem to like the bananas.
so many animals in the ethnic minority village, it was awesome 
i'm sorry that photos of baby pigs have taken precedence over photos of really interesting and culturally significant wooden longhouses, but this pig is very cute
boat carved by Ede (ethnic minority) people, on the banks of Lak lake, Dak Lak
rickitiest bridge ever. i very nearly plummeted to my death. i can't believe they drive motorbikes across here.
gross fat silkworm. please note that these are the hands of someone who drives motorbikes for a living, not my hands - when i tried to hold it, it was too gross so i dropped it on the floor, and some foam came out so i think it was dead, and i felt guilty, but later at the silk factory i learned that silkworms are boiled alive en masse to get them out of the silky cocoon. then i felt less guilty about dropping the worm but more guilty about wearing silk.
many silkworms 
rocking double denim in a waterfall, with another friendly animal companion
buddha with swastika 
squatting in the red sand dunes of Mui Ne - final destination. it kind of just looks like i'm on a beach but they're way more epic than that, google it or something. i don't know why i felt the need to squat, standing would've been better.I'm having fun in Saigon - there are good things and bad things about this city, and it's very different to Hanoi. These computers are painfully slow but I will write all about it soon.
