phone number in vietnam until 5DEC

If anyone is bored, or has free international long distance, or texting, or something, my phone number in Vietnam is 84 94 891 9296. (if calling from the US you have to add 011 before the number, and I'm mandymorrissey on skype if you prefer). I have free incoming calls, so ... call me, I need a hug (PS I'm 12 hours ahead of East Coast US time)

Should I elaborate? I'm not dying or anything, and life is not terrible by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just having a less-than-great time at the moment (and this is my blog so I can whine if I want to).

I'm still stuck in Hanoi for a few days, and IT SUCKS. Seriously, I can't quite put to words how annoying the constant "beep beep" of all the horns and people-getting-in-your-face is. There. Is. No. Peace. The fact that my window doesn't shut all the way doesn't make things much better. Thank god for earplugs. Add to that the fact that I'm getting stuffed around by my hotels, I'm just over it. Two more days.

In addition, I've caught a cold, AGAIN.

And, I am still nursing my motorbike/scooter exhaust burn from a week ago. I don't think I actually mentioned this in the blog yet, but I had a small accident last week. I was going very slow, literally about one mile per hour, but down a very rocky hill with less-than-perfect brakes, and the bike just slipped. It would have been fine except for my leg landing on the exhaust pipe. I'd never had a burn like that before and didn't quite realize what happened. As I was looking at my bloody left knee (which is fine now and sporting a NICE bruise) I'm thinking, "why does my right leg sting like that?"And then I looked at it. Ouch. Not so pretty. On the bright side, I didn't break anything (not a bone nor a camera) and the burn is not on my face! But now I'm stuck with a burn covering a third of my calf, and it's really painful. I went to a doctor today and got lots of supplies, and it will be fine, it just sucks for now. And, thank god for travel insurance!

So, blah blah blah, like I said earlier, it can't all be sunshine and roses. I am having my poo poo time now. I should be happier as soon as I leave this damn town!!!

And more about my happier adventures coming soon.
