Worst. Anniversary. Ever.

We've decided to pretend this day didn't happen.
We've also decided that tomorrow will be our anniversary because it will be our REAL anniversary in B.C. even though it'll be the 25th here.

We were still sicky in the morning and took a walk to the park and shop and tried to buy some things for breakfast. (blah blah blah the morning's boring, nothing eventful just a lot of moaning and groaning)

In the afternoon I talked to my parents on skype for a bit, so that was nice.

After that we tried to find the freaking Vietnam Embassy to get our visas...
A girl that works here told us the WRONG way to go on the WRONG bus and we ended up... you guessed it, in the WRONG place.(we later found out that she had guided us to the Thailand embassy... wow)

The Embassy was due to close at 4:30 and it was getting dangerously close.

(We would have been fine had we had decent directions)

We ended up taking a taxi after a long bus ride and a lot of confused bank tellers chattering to each other about which way it was (we were probably there for a good 15 minutes).

The taxi's clock said 4:18 when we got in and we were stuck in traffic for a long time. 4:30 came and 4:30 went... and still we weren't at the Embassy.

All I could think was "there's no way in the world I'm doing this again tomorrow"...

We rolled into the embassy and much to our surprise it was... OPEN!
The clock said 4:20! The taxi was wrong!
Just in the nick of time we handed in our passports and sighed a big sigh of relief.

Now to figure out how to get home. (it wasn't so bad, we just walked for a while and caught a bus... thankfully we had the hostel pamphlet with us).

When we got back we were ill but we thought we should go out for our anniversary. We thought we'd be safe to order our old standby's : Kung Pow Chicken, egg fried rice, and Sweet and Sour Pork.

The sweet and sour pork was raunchy and the Kung Pow was dangerously hot.

We didn't even close to finish because we were feeling worse than ever.
We could barely walk home. I threw up in my mouth at the market. Eww.

Now we're here again.. at the hostel.. getting ready to pack everything up. We're moving again.

We're planning on spending some serious time in Lijiang just to chill out for a while. Maybe not run around so much and spend a day reading a good book. (what a luxury that would be!)

That's all for now.
