Sapa

Picture 255, originally uploaded by Subcontinental Drift.

This picture is about three weeks old by now, but we didn’t want to skip blogging about the north of Vietnam. This here’s old Nicky boy sitting on a mountain ledge in Sapa. The entire valley was layered with rice paddies that stretched up along the sides of the surrounding mountains. The green-ness was awesome. We spent this day hiking around Sapa, and the next day we rented a motorbike and took a perilous– I mean– educational journey through the countryside.

Anyways, that was old news. Today we are in Thailand, drinking tea, eating mangoes, munching curry by the pound, nay, the ton; we sweat coconut milk, we snort fish sauce, we shit straight rice, still white, I’m telling you. We love this stuff. We only have a few more days before we fly back to India, and we will likely spend them doing the same things we have been doing for the past two months: eating and loitering.
