Another shorty

Again this will be a short post. We both have to prep for a 2:30 class, and it's 1:00. Time to get crackin'. However I'll leave a few details about the past few days in Vung Tau. This place is super sweet. It is really gorgeous, as you can imagine, and we haven't scratched the surface I don't think. There is a little mountain on the south side, and a big mountain on the north. The town just kind of wraps around these mountains, and a little but up the sides too. We've got ourselves cell phones and motobikes, which are two of the most important things to the vietnamese. Mostly the cell phones though. We're going to be losers because we bought a couple of the cheapest ones. Oh well. We took our bikes for a rip up the coast last night. It just seems to keep going. There's shops and bars all the way along, right on the edge of the sea.
Yesterday we went and looked at our first house. It was a 4 bedroom mansion, with vaulted ceilings and crown moulding out the wazoo. It was like a museum, and it would cost us $330 a month (or $165 a piece). This one was in the town though. We're gonna look at one that's on the side of small mountain, with a roof top terrace and a small pool!!! It rents for about $400 a month. Darn...
So we really are settling in. We've started teaching and discovering the town. It still seems a little fast, but I'm sure it will become routine soon. We might go for a tour the other way up the coast for a couple days since we don't have to work after tonight.
There's so much more to say, and so many stories, but just not the time.
Until next time, keep your head up San Diego.
Brandon and Adam.
