About That Traffic

Wow. It's almost July, and I have totally fallen behind on even getting pictures up from Vietnam.

But in lieu of those pictures (which I swear actually do exist), here is short clip of what it was like to ride on the back of a motorbike in Ho Chi Minh City. During rush hour traffic. In the most populated city in Vietnam.

It's a bit wild. (Notice the guy who makes an appearance on the far right hand side of the screen at about the 00:06 mark; I'll make a comment about him later).

I managed to take almost every mode of transportation possible during my trip (bus, train, plane, automobile, boat and motorbike). This was the most entertaining by far, though it does start to get uncomfortable over long distances. If you're ever in Ho Chi Minh City, you really must try it.

Let It Be Known

I promise never to complain about traffic in Los Angeles again.

I also promise that I'm going to be back soon with lots of pictures from my trip to Vietnam.

Where I Am

Greetings and salutations from Vietnam! I have been busy traveling about this amazing country, and I will definitely be posting pictures and share my adventures once I return.

This morning I went snorkeling off the coast of Nha Trang, where beautiful sea life abounds. The picture above is the view from the boat off of one of the moorings.

Hope you are enjoying your travels, wherever they may take you. I'll be back soon.

How To Get Through Pesky Pocket Doors

Today's "How To" tutorial is brought to you by Charley.

I discovered last night that I can open pocket doors! Yay, me! If you ever feel the need to go exploring but can't get through, just follow my 7 easy steps.

Step 1: Use paw to rattle pocket doors to open them just a bit. Step back, in case the noise has gotten the attention of the hoomans.

Step 2: Use nose to push open door farther.

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 on the other door.

Step 4: Check to make sure the coast is clear.

Step 5: Lick nose.

Step 6: Look cute, just in case the hoomans are watching.

Step 7: Freedom! Be sure to keep head low so as to not alert the hoomans.

Radish Math 101

This is why I heart radishes. (Note: The math in this post may or may not be entirely fictional.) I actually have a recipe for this, which I will post soon. Stay tuned!
