Damn, last night was miserable. We set out to go looking for some clothes in the shopping district and came across two dancing chickens. My friend's like lets go eat there. I was like whatever, fried chicken is always good.
The prices were much cheaper than expected (26k for 2 pieces, fries and a drink, what a deal!). Of course i ended up paying for it a lot more than i expected. The chicken was pretty tasteless. Nothing really worth writing home about. The leg was pretty standard, but the other piece was more of a mystery. It wasn't a wing. It wasn't the other part of the chicken that you usually get when you order from KFC either. I'm not exactly sure of what part it was from but i didn't eat much of it. The meat was a strange color and i'm guessing it was probably the chicken's ass.
Either way. I returned home to a pretty bad stomach ache. At first it was just annoying. Had to goto the bathroom a few times (not good times either) and sit it out for a bit. Eventually, i didn't even feel like going out nemore. Which is a good call on my part since around 12 i started to puke. After about 6 serious heaves into the toilet i decided that it was enough and i would be fine to sleep the rest off. Had a small drink of water and a vitamin pill and went off to bed. Of course not a good idea as about 2 hours later, the vitamin, water, some more chicken, maybe some of my lunch, decided to get together and come forth, bursting out of my mouth. No worries though, i was again well prepared and in close vicinity of the toilet. Again, 3 normal heaves and one serious one later, i finally emptied the entire contents of my digestive system. Of to bed for me now.
After losing so much fluids last night, i decided to sleep in nice and late this morning. Waking up, i downed a bottle of water and have taken it easy all day. I've eaten just a few fruits (testing to see if my stomach can handle solid food) and everything seems to be fine. I guess i'll be having a big dinner tonight.
Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City is a very interesting place. I've finally figured out how to use the local map and the city now seems so much smaller. With my orientation figured out now i'm going to go look for another hostel/hotel to stay in. My friend will be leaving this weekend for Thailand while i plan to spend a few extra days here. I'd like to see the war museum (went today but never found it, damn tourist maps, looking at another map i was right there at the museum, just the wrong corner, idiots), Cu Chi tunels, and then when my friend leaves, head down to the mekong delta for a 3 day trip (homestay too hopefully). And then its off to Cambodia.
