Goat, Ostrich, Gamerz, and last but not least..
STingraY. (edit below from 11:00 pm our Tuesday)
Speaking of which, Stingray's pretty good. Think of a thin fish.
The funniest thing that happened yesterday was we were driving in our van, and a guy in a motorcycle pulls up to us and tries to sell us some postcards.
Anyway, we're in Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City, now. It's like Vietnam was an RPG; we start off in a crappy town, move up to a more modern town, and now we're in the most modern town. And also, turns out my dad mentioned all that scary stuff before the trip, because of Saigon; so it'll be... interesting. Anyway, I gotta get ready to go, my dad's trying to fix us up with some daughters of his friends... ..
?
edit: okay, we didn't do the girl thing today, maybe tomorrow. Anyway, so yesterday that funny thing happen, and today's funny thing tops that.
So my dad, duy, myself, and one of my dad's friends were walking in the streets of saigon, shopping, and then this little brown girl, maybe 6-8 yrs old, taps me from behind, and then she walks up in front of me, and puts her hands together as if she was going to start praying. And then, so we're walking away, and she follows us. She encircles me a few times, and then Duy once, and I told my dad I seemed to have a new pet that's following me around. So she just follows me around for about a minute as we're walking on the sidewalk, and then she stops.
THat, is the weirdest thing that has happened to me on this trip.
