In preparation for our arrival in New Zealand, we spent our last day in Vietnam barely knowing we were there. Our first stop after a late checkout was to experience a Vietnamese cinema (but really to hide from the heat and avoid more shopping and aimless wandering). We saw Thor! Just my kind of film when I don't want to do any strenuous thinking but one we may have to see again given the dubious quality of the film and the constant chatter of Vietnamese tweens. A mix of action, cheesiness and humour, Thor was quite watchable, and made me laugh out loud with a reference to Iron Man (for those of you who may be fans of super heroes and comic remakes - which I am). We continued our mall hideaway with Bud's of San Francisco (it's ice cream) before suffering seriously frustrating traffic and listening to Ace of Base and The Macarena! Well, Adam suffered through the music, I found it a welcome change from the usual whining mixed with piano and flute we've been subjected to throughout the trip.
So here we are at Sydney airport, waiting patiently to go home, and cursing Adam for not upgrading us to first class so we could actually have some space between our knees and the seat in front. I'm sure my husband is hoarding millions in a secret off-shore account... watch this space.
A formal summary of our musings on Vietnam will follow, I'm sure you'll be checking every day in anticipation. Ha!
