- Got up nice and early around 7:30am
- Had breakfast at the hotel which was included in the $5 room
- Set out on an adventure!
- Determined to get a great deal on a knock-off watch I went to the local marketplace known for its deals.
- Worked a few people down and noticed that they settle for around 1/4 of what they start negotiating at.
- Got so fed up with girls grabbing me and telling me to buy a shirt I left
- Took a moto for $1 to the Reunification Palace… I paid too much
- Walked around there for a while, offered to take pictures for other people to increase my karma
- Decided to walk back to the hotel and intentionally get lost along the way.
- Found some amazing knock-off art gallerys with my favorite pop-art artists that I could never find in the states. It’s a shame I can’t ship things back or carry them with me.
- Saw some cool parks, a big church and a temple
- Wandered into the seedy area of town and went to a local’s market
- Noticed that everyone kept staring at my shoes… Still don’t know why.
- Went back to the Hotel and had lunch at a little stand with Nemo
- Got changed and shaved
- Went back to the Knock-off market to haggle and get my watch.
- Picked up a killer knock-off of a Breitling for $13
- Looked for gifts for everyone but nothing there showed love or had a soul… just useless junk.
- Went back to the room, washed up and got dressed up to hit the town.
- Went to a small beer place across from the hotel and ran into 4 people my age that were going to be teachers here.
- Hung out with them and Travis at another bar playing pool until 2am
- Ran into my Jewish lesbian friend I met in Hoi An on the way back to the Hotel
- Slept like a baby
