Not too far from the park I heard someone calling out my name. I didn't turn since my name basically sounds like "sister" and I hear it everywhere but it got louder and louder and when I did turn I saw Fan, my housemate's friend who I met 2 days ago. How awesome is that? Anyway, her friend Mickey asked if she could join me in going to the park and on our way we went. Well...as soon as we get to the park gates and I get out my nikon, the sky goes "BOOOM, WHOOSH" and it just starts to pour! WAAAAAHHHH!
Well, we run for cover but we still get soaked to our underwear within minutes. We then ran to her house (with my camera covered under my shirt) because it was only 2 blocks away. With Vietnam's horrible infrastructure the streets became rivers and we ended up having to wade our way through the last block. Errr, it was so bad that the "river" swept away my slipper and we had to chase after it. -_-
Once we get to her place this girl who I met maybe 15 minutes ago gave me dry clothes and her housemates cooked me a 5 entree Chinese meal (did I mention they are all Chinese foreign exchange students? We are forced to converse in broken English and broken Vietnamese). AMAZING! Nothing like home cooked food, we hung out for a few hours and once I headed home the rain had stopped and the streets were again filled with folks enjoying the street eats.
Hmmm, such a nice change from my day yesterday. Although yesterday was hotter, today felt much brighter. Looking forward to tomorrow!
So thought you should see what I look like when I wear my rain gear + helmet. :P

@ Hoan Kiem Lake
Met up with PNX lady Tracy Nguyen here on a study abroad program. She just rented a motorbike! (she's a much better driver than me...doesn't freak out anyway)
On the street near Hoan Kiem
