Twan didn't want to wake up, so I kicked him out of his bed. Had some breakfast in the windy restaurant and headed forward to the North. He showed me and teached me something about making rice and bricks in Vietnam, interesting to see and you are talking with the locals, who show you everything. I'm sdurprised about Vietnam, during this trip all the people are so friendly. All the locals are smiling, waving at you. They like to talk with you and the try to spreak English. And during the trip you meet a lot of other people that do the Easyrider-tracks, which is cool. Twan maybe has to back, his brother is in the hospital all of a sudden.

After dropping our stuff in the Eden Karaoke (oh noooo!) Hotel in Buon Ma Thuot, we drove to the Da Long Waterfall. What a beginning of a day full of incredible sick waterfalls! So beautifull. The tracks are a little bit dangerous, they don;t spend money anymore in fixing the tracks and bridges, which is a shame. But damn, it's so wonderfull to be here. Swimming in clearblue pools between the waterfalls, having a massage under some smaller waterfalls and having a chat with other backpackers. Twan told me the other two waterfalls were not worth a visit, but I'm glad I kept pushing him to show me. After crossing some bridges that almost fall apart you end up at to spectecular waterfalls. So different then the ones in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Ofcourse I was climbing rocks and trees to find the best spots and Twan got a little bit tired.

On the way back we stopped at a streetrestaurant and now I could finally experience the madness on the roads! Without a helmet on the horning of the cars, trucks and busses is fuckin' loud! I had a delicious beef noodlesoup for almost nothing. This is good cheap food. The way back to the city was chaos, almost had a few accidents and I could notice that Twan was not that clear anymore. So he showed me an old hilltribe village inside the city of Buon Ma Thuot. I walked into somebody's garden and saw some boxingexercise equipment, so I was training for a while and the owners couldn't stop laughing...

He went to sleep when we got back at the hotel. Unbelievable how?! THis is a real karaoke hotel, they start at 17:00 and the whole hotel is shaking while Asian people scream with the loud music. This is going to be a sleepless night. And whahahaaa, at some point they played Marco Borsato 'De Meeste Dromen zijn bedrog' and the Asians were doing karaoke on this song...WHAT THE FUCK!? In the evening Twan let me try goatmeat (medium cooked and hotpot), not my favorite. The locals invited me for drinking ricewine with them, but I refused. They were just too drunk.

In spite of the pain that I feel (serious problems with my teeth, broken root of my backtooth, swollen throat and more) I still enjoyed this day. Finally some energy again. The medicines are not working so I have to visit a hospital/clinic soon to get some surgery.
