The next morning I booked a tour down the Saigon River to the Cu Chi Tunnels. They were really rather interesting and I had a lovely time riding the boat down the river.
When I got back I went to try to have a late lunch in the park I went to the day before. But as soon as I sat down a 20 something year old man and two small boys started inching around me. One little boy took my guide book from next to me and rifled through it to see if I had anything in it (I didn't), stole my water, and tried several times to yank my camera out of my hand. They didn't succeed in taking anything of value but I was upset.
That night one of the security guards from the hotel and I had dinner and coffee (we were unable to communicate at all, but he did give me a red pocket with 500 dong-about 25 US cents).
crazy adventures. props to your friend making skillz
