Seoncd impressions of Vietnam

It really is an assualt on the senses here.
Individual commerce is very aggressive - at the airport, taxi drivers throw themselves in front of you to get your luggage so that they can take you somewhere. Once in a taxi, the horn appears to be tied to the turn indicator. Or perhaps its the other way around...
I have already seen a couple of instances of the painted face masks that Ivan and Dan want for ACL next year (if I find them, I think I"ll buy a gross or so - they look like they'll be popular).
The hotel is a tiny building jammed up between several other shops - not something that a tourist is likely to find on their own. There is no sign of our rat yet but we are all watching and waiting for him (her?) to appear. Relatives of the Little Home Hotel rat have already been spotted out on the street so we're sure they're still in town.
And yes, the reason that I sending this now (6:30am) is that even on a Saturday, the car and motorbike horns provide an inescapable alarm clock.

Now to go find wired or wireless because my room does not appear to have either...
