More Sleepers

As I mentioned in a previous post, Vietnamese can -- and do -- sleep anywhere, anytime.  Here's a few more snaps of more sleepers I've stumbled across during my daily activities. 

This guy was impressively sprawled across three motorbikes -- my first observation of a sleeper of this type.  Time: about 1pm.

Another guy balanced on his bike, in the more conventional "spread-eagle" position.  Time: about 4pm.

Dambri Waterfall Trip

Two weeks ago I traveled with our company's English Club to Dambri Waterfall, into the highlands near Dalat.  Buckets of fun.  I was the only foreigner on the trip if you don't count Lan, a Vietnamese American guy.  He blends in a bit better than I do, and his Vietnamese is a million times better.  So of course everyone communicated in Vietnamese.  I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to function in Vietnamese pretty much the entire weekend, both listening and speaking.  I learned a few new words, too -- "tent," "itch," "firewood" and "waterfall."  Good times, good times.  See the pics here.
