apple?

today was one of those pretty cool days...not weather-wise, since it was SCORCHING and possibly cooler being a cake baked in a fan force oven. it was HOT. no rain, even though it look like it really wanted to, but we biked it for 1 1/2 hours (scooter) to My Son, where the World Cultural Heritage site was. it's always much cooler when they don't "reconstruct" everything to death. the amazing thing about this site was that they heaped on brick after brick, without cement/mortar, you name it, to hold it all together. and yet it stayed together. the place felt - creepy. we were able to walk into the smaller buildings and have a look inside, but hearing the wind through the brickwork, knowing that half of the dug up site was "unstable" made the experience all the more...creepy. there were other people digging up another area which was off limits to the public.

as we braved heat sickness, riding back, i am now a proud owner of the lobster skin syndrome, and damn it hurts. also, so far on this trip, i had finished "diary of a manhattan call girl", as well as stephen king's "the cell" but had not written in my diary at all.

shameful!

suits and tailor made stuff turned out ok. it was a fun experience, but i'd leave the high quality work to those with VERY good fabric selections, and more modern cutting techniques.

tomorrow is second last day, and we will be going to ho chi minh city by plane tonight... better not get delayed....!
