In Vietnam!*

Erin, Companion and Koala get off the plane and are greeted by the hot, muggy air of Vietnam-at-any-time. Of course, coming from the biting cold of the Land-Without-Logical-Heating, it’s really like the county’s come to give them a big hug. It could also be the koala tightening its grip.
They make their way through the airport and give up the koala at customs, not without some gleefulness.
When they get outside the airport, having already become millionaires at the exchange counter, they find a long line of helpful, scrupulous taxi drivers waiting for their favor.
It takes some time to find a driver who will give them a cheap fare and allow them to enter his cab drenched in koala spit, but they are soon speeding away towards Hanoi.
What a city! The entire city teems with life, and all the population is out bustling about.
Then, they all go get avocado shakes which are really delicious even though you might not think so.


The banner reads : Welcome! Erin, Companion, $$!

*I’ve never been to Vietnam, so this part is really, really made up.
**I think that instead of this, I’m going to go buy an ice-cream and eat it. Cheers!

avocado shakes are INDEED delicious, and we finally found them after trying several shops (apparently avocados are out of season... how cheeky!)

I am so glad to hear you found some.
Maybe you misheard them, maybe they said all the avocats are being tried for treason!
now just reeel them in.
