Let's play the kiddie game: What's wrong?

One of my favorite games as a child was to look at a photo and try and pick out the things that were wrong. Let's look at a recent photo of me and play the game:
Well, What did you see?

1. If you saw a weird cowlick in the back of my head. 1 pt for you. At this point I had not taken a shower for a few days. Not a great idea in 'Nam.
2. If you saw a mustache. Good for you. But that is not wrong, but incredibly right. If you marked it as being wrong with the picture, then you failed. Take away all points.
3. If you saw a creepy elbow in the top of the picture. 1 pt for you. Really, whose elbow is that? Random elbows in pictures are certainly wrong.
4. Right nipple. Everyone knows that I was only born with one nipple (the left one). I had to photoshop this bad boy in. 5 pts for you.

5. Bad Shoulder. If you missed this, then you probably need your peepers checked out. That is a level III and/or possible level V separation my friend. It is what happens when you try to drive a scooter across Vietnam and the dude in front of you crashes and to avoid wrecking into him you decide instead to blow the crap out of your shoulder. At least now I can say: "oh, this bunk shoulder, got that ol' injury back in 'Nam".

A stones throw from our hotel, this is how we ended our long day of work on Thursday. Full moon and amazing sunset. Life is good.

....off to Da Lat, about to go rent 5 scooters and trek through the mountains and navigate the crazy traffic.

Until next time.

The thing is....

...well, really when you get right down to the heart of the matter, the thing is that you are in a barrel of "herbal water", that actually feels more like Slimer's undercarriage from the hit film Ghostbusters, in the middle of a seedy, happy-ending type massage and sauna parlor in Vietnam... it's about to get weird.

Coolest business name ever?

Just when you thought you had seen it all, well, now you have! As we were walking down the beach front in search of a good place to grab a coffee, a moto scooter suddenly veers off the road as if he had run out of gas and had finally found a place to refuel. As most of the time when a local stops the very out-of-place foreigner in Vietnam on the streets, they usually want something in the form of money. Or, in this case Dong. This guy happened to be an "experienced" tour guide and wanted to talk us into doing a hill side scooter tour. What was interesting wasn't his pictures, which were actually amazing, but was that he aptly called his venture "Eddy Murphy Easy Rider - Adventure Tour - Fucking Cool". Incredible. You know when you are able to use two well known pop culture references followed by the expression "fucking cool" as your business name, you've got a pretty good command on the English language humor. That's the beauty I guess of doing business in an emerging economy; you can use the most outrageous English words and phrases known to man, because, hey, who is going to f*cking understand you?

Currently I'm in search of the next most ridiculous thing out there on the streets of Nha Trang and Vietnam. Maybe a scooter adventure to Da Lat this weekend will bring more enlightenment.

Until then, let's get weird.
