We just weren't aware that the sleeping bus was a local bus...
Alternate Title:
Romano & Erez - Fell into tourist scam (Again!).
After:
- 6-7 hours spent in a bus from Hoi-an to Hue.
- 6 hours wandering around Hue citadel and forbidden city (It was hot as hell...).
- 2 hours of waiting for the sleeping bus, and eating some "Lonely Planet" recommended "Rice Cake" which didn't contain rice, nor was sweet (actually was very oily and not so tasty).
The sleeping bus arrived.
After 10 seconds, 12 Vietnamese were already in the bus, catching the best sits (beds).
After few minutes we joined them... still wandering how they can afford it (still wandering BTW).
It's not that we're snobbish (well we are, but it doesn't have anything to do with it),
all the tourist buses we've been on till now, contained mostly tourist (and some Vietnamese hitchhikers - most of them were 70 years old women, who doesn't mind peeing next to the bus when ur standing half a meter next to them...).
So we just wanted to be sure we are on the right bus. And we were on the right bus, only it was local bus, which after every 5 minutes of driving must stop aside and wait for 10 minutes so passengers can get in and out of it.
Enough! :) It was a not so fun ride, but it ended, and i don't have the power needed to continue blabbering about it, and why it was a scam... and it Was! Goddamn'em all!
It ended (Finally) when i woke up, hugged by a bit weird Vietnamese guy, who had a not so appealing scent.
We've spent the last few hours since we got here arranging ourselves a sail on a "Sfinat Tanogot" to a place called halong bay - Mucho money - should be really spoiling - sleeping night in the boat itself.

Afterwards a night Train (Woohoo) will take us to northern villages called sapa & baka, which are usually amazing, but apparently we are late (or early) in a few month to actually see smth. And ye, it's freezing there (zero... water freezes and stuff. Vegas all over again).
That's it,
That's it,
Sorry for blabbering much this time,
Still having really good time,
Me :)
