Brief update about Vietnam (and Tim's not so fun adventure)
After a relatively nice overnight train ride, Tim and I found ourselves in Nha Trang. Unlike Da Nang, Nha Trang is a very touristy city. It also has lovely beaches, and is well known for its diving. Most of the people I spoke to, in fact, were there for the scuba diving.
Unfortunately, it is also the place where poor Tim got so sick.
We still don't know what it was - food poisoning would be my guess. I won't go into details, but it was baaaad.
Eventually in the morning I was able to get Tim to the hospital so that he can see a doctor. He was so bad during the night, that she ended up giving him an IV drip. Also, I learned that day that the hospitals in Thailand are much nicer than the ones in Vietnam. From my frequent visits to Thai hospitals, I have never once seen a cockroach, and all the bathrooms I have visited have been well stocked with soap. I guess that's the price of communism...
The day after Tim saw the doctor, he still wasn't feeling quite himself, so I went snorkeling by myself. It was pretty neat, and I saw some pretty cool fish (though I did once find myself surrounded by small jellyfish, which also managed to sting me on my feet and face. They were small ones though, so no real damage.)
The next day Tim was feeling a bit better so we went to the world-renown aquarium, of which I will talk more about and share pictures of later. :)
