Party time!!

Saturday night in HCM, I’ve just been out for dinner with the Taiwanese factory manager and the owner’s son and watched them get drunk on two bottles of (piss weak) beer each (I had 4 because I’m a lady – a northern lady!!) and now I’m trying to decide what to do next!! Do I go to a bar (on my own), do I go to Apocalypse Now- the worst name for a club in Vietnam ever by the way (on my own) or do I stay in my hotel room and watch a Ghostwhisperer double bill on Starworld? The answer is probably the latter…On the one hand you don’t want to be stuck in the hotel just because you’re a woman and you shouldn’t really be going to those kinds of places because its not seen as being the right thing to do, but if you do go, its only really to prove the point that you can do it and it would be rubbish when you were actually there (on your own) Men have it a lot easier when they travel than women do…

I got some good news though when they dropped me back at the hotel- I'm not expected in the factory tomorrow!!! Yey sleep, Yey swimming pool, Yey wandering round Saigon!! I just need to remember to not break the golden rule: boredom+money+saigon=wooden..stuff in my suitcase!!
