Mud Bath in Nha Trang

I am currently in Nha Trang for a few days and yesterday I went to have a mud bath. Let me tell you it was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. If you do nothing else when you are in Vietnam, make sure you go to the mud baths in Nha Trang. You soak in this hot, wonderful mud bath for 20 minutes or so...it really is relaxing and feels amazing on your skin...even if you do look like one of those guys from Apocalypse Now - covered from head to toe in mud....:). It feels great and is really invigorating. Then you get out and wash the mud off and have a wonderful really hot and clear bath in beautiful clean spring water. Then you top it all off with a wonderful massage and then a swim in the warm hot spring swimming pool.  You will never feel more relaxed! And this all costs less than 400,000 dong per person (about $20!!!!) Give it a go. It is wonderful!

What about the weather?

What is it with the friggin' weather??? 7 years in Saigon and it has never rained in January...but this year...it is raining a LOT! Floods in Australia, Brazil and Sri Lanka...bushfires in Western Australia!  The weather really is screwed! Is it me or is the entire world getting cooler? I hate it! Give me hot weather any day!

Life in Saigon

Hi, this is my first Blog and I hope you find it interesting. I have been living in Saigon for nearly seven years and I want to write every now and then about life in Vietnam and South East Asia. I also want to give my thoughts on others things too...I love sport so I will chat about that and maybe other life issues from time to time.
