Vietnam - Nha Trang

Nha Trang is Vietnam's biggest beach resort town. The beach here is pretty and goes on for miles (Vietnam has over 3450 km of coastline), but having been recently spoiled by Thailand's perfect beaches, we were complaining how the white sand here is not quite soft enough and the water is not quite turquoise enough. We are greedy.

We took a boat tour of nearby small islands, complete with karaoke performances from the crew and other tourists, both domestic and foreign.
Fellow tourists Vietnamese grannies - they loved the karaoke performances at first but fell asleep around song fifteen (two American boys singing Coldplay):




Snack time:

My proud moment as the first person at the floating bar:

Continuing his adventures in personal grooming, Bill tried to get a hair cut at this place:
The sign said 'Barber Shop', the panel outside listed hair cut, shampoo, etc. in English and there were high chairs inside with mirrors. However, we found out through sign language of sort, that the service this place provides is of the kind that would only be legal in the state of Nevada in the US.

Nice tan, Bill. Thanks for keeping the speedo under wraps.

Do the Asians like Bill's "peasant" look?

Oh, Nevada...I guess you mean gambling, right? Hmmm, what sorts of sign language means gambling? Is it the "L" on the forehead?

I wish I could have been there for the explanation about what services they provide instead of haircuts and to observe how you guys reacted. I'm sure you guys will have a ton of good stories to tell when you get back. Can't wait to hear them!

Donnie - We threw away the speedo in Brazil, thank god.

Brooklyn - Bill does well with the 50 and over ladies.

Gambling sign = mock crying?

Kathy - Bill giggled a lot.
