I never met an ice cream I did not like.

I never met an ice cream I did not like until yesterday. I had been told about a fruit called durian fruit that is very expensive and very smelly but good tasting. I could not find the fresh fruit in the supermarket which finally opened yesterday but there was durian fruit ice cream which seemed to me like a sure bet. Not only did the ice cream smell to high heaven, something like burned tires and rotten garbage, but it tasted just the same. I gargled over and over to get rid of the after effects in my mouth. It was a first for me not to finish my ice cream.

All over the world it seems like fashion to sport tee shirts with foreign languages. I saw one here with the following English:
Star
Trip
Funny
Bounces
Heart
I wonder what message this is supposed to be.

I will leave Nha Trang at 11 this morning for a 7 hour bus ride back to Saigon. I had wanted to travel north to Hanoi but it is not in the cards. Well, next time! I hope that this will be my last long bus trip for a while. I plan to travel from Saigon to Cambodia leaving before my Vietnam visa expires on February 28.
