Typical

If your hotel does NOT have brekkie, do not despair. The world of morning street food is waiting for you, complete with little tiny wee plastic chairs that will make you feel like you are in elementary school again, except in a bad dream.

Food comes first. Often not a good idea to have coffee at the food place. Go for Nunk Da, which is watered down iced tea. Safe to drink. Yeah, yeah, I know "The Ice Is Not Safe." Well, take your chances or don't. In the bus station in Vientiene? Damn straight its not safe. Here, so far, it is.

Point to what looks good and smile a lot. The locales think you're funny. Its ok, you are funny.

After Brekkie, its time for coffee. And a cigarette, whether you smoke of not. Get used to it, almost every Vietnamese person sporting even one testicle smokes cigarettes. They think cigars are wild. Its fun to throw them off.

Brekkie complete, its time to think of the day. Today, I believe I will go on to Can Tho, famous for it floating markets. Which also means back to tourists, but so far not many.
