Wow, karaoke night was pretty cool.  We ended up having two meals that night.  The first was a standard meal where I had mackeral, shrimp, and short ribs.  The second meal was centered around wild boar.  Apparently they had caught and killed a 30 kilo boar just for our dinner.  (By the way for lunch I ate an egg fish head, it was very fishy).  The boar was good, but I was just not very hungry because we had eaten about an hour before.  The night consisted of photo taking and a party.  At the party there were games, which were hard for me to understand since I don’t speak the language, but it was still fun to watch.  Then there was the karaoke.  They tried hard to get me to sing, but it was not going to happen.  Especially after I heard them singing.  Some of them could try out for a Vietnamese version of Idol.  It ended up being a good evening with lots of fun.  Afterwards it was time for bed again.

We woke up for breakfast and then checked out of the hotel.  On the trip back to the airport, the views were really cool.  We would be up on the hillside looking down on the beaches and oceans.  I tried to take some pictures of it, but I don’t know if they are any good yet.  We got to the airport and I took some more pictures and then saw a pig wondering accross the street.  I lost sight of it and then saw another one and got some pictures of that one.   It is not every day that you see wild pigs running around an airport.  The airport was tiny as well with a short runway.  They would have a hard time extending the runway as the ocean is on either end of it, I guess we were near the tip of the island.   We flew back to Ho Chi Minh city and hit a little turbulence.  I really hate turbulence.  I also really hate rough landings.  Luckily I only had to deal with one of those.   We dropped our stuff at the hotel and headed out to get a quick bite to eat.  Then Lam and I walked back to the hotel and walked through the market.  It is surprising to me at how many westerners are around.  I don’t know if most are here for work or for pleasure, but it is good either way for the economy.  After getting back to the hotel, I logged in to do some work and fix some things that I was able too.  Then we went to dinner and had frog legs and peking duck.  Both were pretty good, but I was still kind of full from lunch.  Following this we went to a coffee shop on the street to sit, chat, and people watch.  Since this was across from some movie stores, we walked over and looked at all the movies for sale.  I did not get anything, but I could have gotten the new Twilight movie if I wanted it.  Then we walked back to the hotel again and I got back to work again and checked in with home.  I don’t know what is planned for the weekend yet, so hopefully I will have some fun things to share.
