Extra credit #3

Sunset in Nha Trang on our first night there. This is a glimpse of the mountain that has been undeveloped with resorts. We asked a taxi driver if there was a way for us to hike up there and he thought we were crazy and suggested that we visit the nearby water park.

Still in nha trang, we boycotted the organized tour groups offered everywhere we went. Instead we woke up early to go down to the pier to haggle. This was Jamie's idea to find a "some guy with a boat" to take us on a private tour. The smarty was right and we found a man with a boat. We were let down after we realized we couldn't dock into any of the 4 private islands without paying a fee. We were offered to jump into the ocean to wade around but we refused after seeing floating plastic bags and other unidentifable objects.

The last two are of Hoi An. It's a city known for its tailorshops, shoemaking, and handmade lanterns. After sunset, the laterns are lit along the canal. This would've been a great place to sit if it weren't for the solicitors.
