Back in Saigon

There's a quote in the beginning of Apocalypse Now where Martin Sheen wakes up and growls.. "

"Saigon, shit, I'm still only in Saigon. Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle."

Saigon, or HCM is a jungle by standards of someone who lives in the posh 98th percentile of world living standards.. last time I felt this place was too hectic for me. But this time around I'm finding it easier to swallow. I guess thats what life experience teaches you.. it numbs you to mayhem. Ie, u get used to it.

Note I was quite impressed with Taipei (Taiwan) for the 10hrs I was there. I had some great Beef Noodle Soup. Scratch that off the list of things to do!

Okay back to chilling.. I have a few hours to kill while I wait for Boo and his friend to arrive.

I had some revelations.. but goes to show carry a pad with you. At my age brilliant ideas come and go quickly.
