Early morning,
cocks are choking (or so i thought)
and pigs are gettin' it on- uh huh
Charcoals smokin' for warmth.
you bath yourself and 10 minutes later-
you're dirtier as ever
smellin' like ash-
you wonder why you bother with a COLD shower in the dead of winter anyways,
winter- so cold, the buffaloes fall dead-one by one
Boggled up train schedule's
had us sleeping in front of our hotel for 2 hours-
in the DEAD of winter.
children's footsteps haunts you
as you walk from village to village
pitter pattering around you
chanting 'candy? candy? CANDY!?'
a lil boy sling shots me arm
and i show him who's boss -
the 'I will KILL you if you don't start running NOW' stare.
Up a mountain we went,
in search for gorgeous views and the elusive falls
'How much longer?'
'How much steeper?'
'Where the hell is FLAT land?'
'Is there going to be a DOWN to this bloody mountain!!??''
'Where are the paths!!?'
'Is that a TWIG as a bridge??'
'I have to go over THAT!?'
'THATs the waterfall!? is that IT?'
*sighs
Made it back alive
Tired and sore
Early morning sitting outside our hotel
hotel's not open 24 hrs here- who knew!?
Boy's cold as hell
Me thinking- 'Gosh I need me blusher and chapstick'
Don't wanna look like the bloody walking dead when the porter boy welcomes me into the hotel.
Decides when the hotel opens- I need the world wide web
Concierge puts me behind a desk with a computer
I'mma happy chick
Until a lady walks by and wishes me good morning.
in Vietnamese
Boy walks over- 'I think she thinks you work here'
I stared back incredulously- HUH?
He points at a sign in front of me comp-
'TRAVEL DESK'
ppffft.
