No!
Huh!
Live in a room
An empty room
Four walls
White walls
I live in a hole
Huh!
No!
I live in a hole
Not some trailer park
I won't die
In a chip-to-lie?? home
I live in a hole
Huh!
Live in a hole
Huh! Hoh! Huh! Hoh!
Every day
I get less civilized
It's a lot of work
To dig in that hole
Hunh!
No!
big black..
eh my title just made me have to throw that.
well, ok, after a 7 hour chat with moosie i regained a healthy chunk of my sainty, so on agian on again jigity jig!
after catching about 6 hours in a room full of 12 people, but one of the first times sleeping in a bed for about a week, i got up with the sun and hit the VC tunnles.
yea i was stuck with a shit tour group, sadly it's kinda a necasary evil, but seeing how i've been living the better chunk of my life in a self induced hald faided vietnam flash back i had to go.
yep yep,,, first we when to a crazy temple where the twisted mix of many religens had crated an odd system that i in now meens have the energy to try and explan.. wow, yea i just got a herd of drooling slobering, yaping vitmise childern at the computer nex to me, .. and they won't stop touching me, .. ok i picked the one up who kept touching me and put her in a chair that i found, thats better..... lol
anyways, yea crazy temple, single secared eye, crazy colered robes, chanting, a bit of crazyness and 1 billion anyoing tourest shoving there camras in everyones faces, fashes strobing, and old german people yealling to try and talk over the muics the small chines instrumt band was playing, and a group of girls in white rodes were singing.. i was glad to get out of there, next off to lunch and of coure they (as laura would say) brought us to a west-arant, lol, one look at the x3 overprice mune and i took a walk down the high way, much toi the horrar of the few honkies sitting outside the west-arant,
about 1/2 a klick down the road i found a cool place to eat, and hung out wth some col, shirtless guys who spoke not a like of english, and my vietmanise is a sad sad thing!
but everyone way really nice and i got to drink some rice wisky/wine out of an old sprit bottle, but fearing missing the bus out here got me back to the bus early.
the VC tunnles were great, but i really wish i had someone to share the experince with, but it was still cool, everyone though i was nuts becasue when they showed the tiny trap door to the caves and asked if anyone wanted to go down i said fuck yea and jumped in! it was cool, and i got a realy silly photo of me coming out.. then another tourest tryed and got his fat ass stuck, and it was funny!
there was a shooting range but at 1.60 a bullet i said fuck that... till i saw the full auto m60, but didn't have enought $ with me anyways.. on display to shoot they had about 10 guns, and i had them all less 2, the m1 carbine and the m60, and once people found i knew a little about it i spent about 15 min awancering queations about them.
cralwing throught the tunles was, fun, but wuld ahve been cool to have someone to share the experance with.. at first 1/2 the group got about 10 meaters in and said fuck this, about 50 meater down about another 1/2 turned around, and at the first exit everone ealse excetp me got out, in some areas there were dim red lights monted in the wall but most of the time ou were in pitch black, i did have my little key cahin light to use (thanks again ribeye!) but that just semed like cheating, it was crapey and weair but not too bad, till i found a turn off in pitch back, i was all alone down there and was a tad bit orryed about getting lost, but whats the point of living if we can't die in some exciting way, so i took it, it ended up being walled up a ways downb, as were quite a few outher turn offs, i passed a bunch of exits, but more and more were boarded up.. guess not often do people travel this far down.. everything was alright till all the sudden the tunnle was going down and getting tight enough to need to crawl. i stoped in pitch back silance, a bit scared, who knows how far past where i was suposed to come out i was , but hey it's for tourest, ut it's vitenam, and if some idiot gets lost no ones gonna get sued...
all alone, in a hole, who knows how far undergrond, i sit there contmplating, listening in the total blackness to things moving down there, probaly just little bus echoing off the walls, ok.. and i keep going, a bit invegrated by it, i guess i'ma bit of a junky for kaos, danger, ect.. but after about 10 more min i the dark i come across another dim light i the wall, so this isn't a forgotn part of the hundreds of miles down there.
anyways after awhile i comeout into an old surgry room, but no, it wan't cool and crapybecasue the roof has been removed to let light in.. it was an exit tot eh top, there was another tunnle leading on, but some very large very old folks were headed in that way, and that spells no fun.
right now i'm contmplating hitting the mekong delta, cool, but i've kind had my fill mof being hurded around with tourests.. or... getting the 30+ hour bus to hanoi to meet back up witha friend. i'll have to decide tonight before 10pm, ..
so we shall see.
oh or i could get a 100 doller plane ticket, but thats a fortune to spend ;)

I am not sure if I could have done that by myself. I hate confined spaces.
