Well since Heather mentioned on her blog that I would have a certain picture on my blog I feel somewhat obligated to post said picture. Even though I'm fairly certain no one is even reading this thing anymore.
So the story goes that we jumped on a large ship that kind of resembles some ancient Asian war vessel to tour Halong Bay up in the north of Vietnam which is now being considered for the next seven wonders of the world. It's pretty frickin amazing and totally worth a nod. So after a night spent aboard this boat which is actually referred to as a "junk" (I never asked why) we got off on Cat Ba island for a little trekking before taking a bus to the port on the other side of the island to then get on a another boat which transported us to this even smaller island called Monkey island. Needless to say it had monkeys. But the best part was that it was set up in this little cove with a very private beach, with our own bungalows nestled just under the forest. It was totally baller. I felt like Englebert Humperdink or Jay-Z or somebody like that.

But the point of this post is to tell the incredibly embarrassing story of hiking up this rugged, dangerous, never-in-a-million-years-would-this-be-approved-by-OSHA, super liability trail to the top of one of the many mountains on Cat Ba seeing this fellow wearing almost the exact same thing as I was. Now I'm not usually one to play fashion victim but what are the chances. The only difference was that he had his shirt tucked in like he was climbing up here to attend some formal speedos dinner party.
