Trying to eat here has been, well, interesting. I am glad there arent any McDonalds and stuff like that, because it makes it much easier to know if I dont eat, im going to starve.
Its now Friday 23, Febuary and I am completely use to the food. Every morning I wake up and go with the guys (Anh Nam (#5), Anh Bay(#7) and Anh Chin(#9) to the local cafe or resturant. I start my day with a nice cup of ice coffee with condensed milk(mot le cafe sau dat) and some eggs with french bread or soup with fish, chicken liver, squid and noodle. Lunch we usually have like a meat and rice dish along with beer or cold tea. As crazy as it may sound I have not found 1 dish that I dont really like and the coffee in the morning is SOOOO good! Dinner we useually are looking at fish or a meat and veggie rice plate.
I eat like 3-4 times a day and stuff myself and keep getting hungry as the day goes on, but I am seriously loosing so much weight. ALL of my close are getting loose and some of it I cant even ware because they are too big now.
Hope things are going well in the states, and talk to you all soon.

cool! glad you made it okay. how is internet access? why does everyone have a number by their name?
there are a lot of brothers and sisters here and everytime you address someone you need to put that anh, gia, co, ong...ect in front of their name. so i guess just having like guy 5, guy 7 is just easier. this is my guess. I dont even know what their real names are. ha
Your trip sounds fantastic. We can't wait to hear more and see all the pictures you promised to take.
In case you have tried calling us in the last couple of days, the reason ypu couldn't reach us was nana and I had to go to Anderson. That is about an hour above Willows where you used to race. We went to a funeral service for my aunt.
Both of our cell phones went dead up there because we forgot to bring a charger.
Did you get the nose issue resolved? All OK now?
