tommorrow i head into the mekong delta for 3-5 days. then i grab a boat to pho quoc island, the still largely undeveloped vietnamese island paradise, where i'll be taking a 1 week vacation from my travels.
on the 11th, i fly to signapore and from there my malaysian oddessy begins.
how's this for a slick deal: i found a flight from saigon to singapore for $6. i rule.

meta blog
ok, i've finally figured out what to do with this site, at least for now.
this site will be the "real time" site, where i'll post things that aren't simply retellings of each days events, as well as links to new ballofdirt entries as they become available (which is becoming more important given my erratic posting schedule). thus it makes more sense to visit this site rather than the ball of dirt site. and people can leave comments on this site related to the corresponding journal entries on ballofdirt.
and by the way, i'm in saigon (or ho chi minh city for you commies) now. the 30th is the 30th anniversary of the fall of saigon, and the entire city is being prepared for this massive event. the only problem is that a good portion of the saigonese population lament this event, to say the least. in the words of one of my motorbike taxi drivers: "i hate the fucking communists". another told me of his 8 years in a re-education camp and the continued discrimination against him today.
