Delorean #4

December 1 2005, South-East Coast Vietnam


In the space of 48 hours the following has happened.

1. My motorbike broke down just under halfway into a 7 hour trip from Saigon to the beach to meet some peeps I knew. Only saving grace was it only cost about $7 to replace the fuel pump but walking the bike for 45 minutes in the heat was not fun.
2. Within one hour of arriving at Nah Trang it started raining cats and dogs (which I think the locals decided to cook up for my dinner that evening). It hasn't stopped raining yet.
3. I was tackled by a Tranny Hooker and had to push her to the ground to stop her from to stealing my wallet.
4. I woke up in the middle of the night with an eye infection. I suspected it was pink-eye.
5. Found the only doctor in the town that spoke English. Despite sitting me on a blood-stained Hospital bed, she was very nice. Turns out it is a bacterial infection similar to pink-eye. Total cost for doctor and medicine: $3.25. Screw You Medicare!
6. Because my eyes are weeping like motherfuckers, I bought some knock-off Gucci sunglasses. I now look lame.
7. My friend Raene, while walking in the shallow waters on the beach, believes she stepped in some human poo. We are now calling her poo-foot.

I really wish there were some life lessons in all that. Oh, I turn 26 in a few days. Fuckin' Hell...
