The first few days in Nha Trang haven't been very exciting. It has been raining so much that even trying to walk across the street without a poncho or umbrella means that you get very wet and then stay wet for the next hour or so.
On Monday I had another girl, Tuyet, show up to teach with me. For most of the week I have been hanging out with her and then people who have been staying in the same hostel as her. It has been fun becoming instant friends with random people I have met traveling. These people are people I wouldn't normally associated and the group is always a strange mix but I think that is what makes it half the fun. The group I have been hanging out with consisted of another girl from Seattle! (we both thought that that was exciting), Tuyet from Vancouver BC, another Canadian guy, an English guy, I think the most raciest person I have met - a guy from Sweden, and another American guy from Oregon. It has been a good group to hang with the last few days. It made new years eve a lot of fun to be able to go out and party with a group of people I sort of knew rather than a room full of complete strangers. For new years eve we went bar hopping looking for free drinks, it was a good party seen and I had a fun time out - I got to dance! The hard part about meeting all these new people and having a group is that it only lasts for a few days at a time. All but the American guy (who has been living here for the last 3 months) have left this evening, going in different directions. It is sad to be group less again.
I just checked the weather, which normal I don't do, and for the next week I have a 60% chance of rain and 78 degrees. I'm not sure I will be seeing the sun any time soon and it might just be worth buying an umbrella. The down pour just started again.
More about teaching will come soon. Happy 2009, maybe it be a great one for all.
