No costumers, what else would they do??________________
An early morning yet again. This morning we had to take another looong bus journey, but this time we went down to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) 8 hours on a bus that is less comfortable than Ryanair, was very tough. Plus the bus driver kept stopping every few minutes trying to make some extra cash by picking up random people. And the horn on the bus...oh dear lord, i wish i would have had some earplugs. Even though they overtake someone and there is a car in their way on the other side, he will beep at them like they're in the way or something.
I had just dozed off when i could hear the spekers pumping, and it wasn't like normal music or anything...this was like squeeling asian pop balads, making your eardrums want to dig in to the brain and take cover. And it doesn't stop here. We got off the bus for a toilet brake and i was dying for a coffee, so i went up to the lady behind the counter and asked if i could have a coffee with fresh milk. All she does is to look at me for a few seconds and then she looks away again while saying "No, don't have". Ok there miss Rude, i can see packets of coffee all over your shop and there is coffee machines behind you. One more try, but no, she doesn't have any coffee for me, even though the two busdrivers are sitting there drinking coffee. BIATCH, I JUST WANT A BLOODY COFFEE!! Well, i didn't say that out loud, but i wish i would have.
After 8 long hours on the bus we finally arrived in Saigon. We got a room in a guest house...on the 5th floor, 100 steps to heaven. (Not really though, screaming turquoise walls that burns your eyes so much you think you're in hell) Only after 1 hour me and David decided we love this city.
Tonight was a relaxed night. Tomorrow, another adventure.
