Whiskey and Mongolians on scooters

When I woke up at 8.30am it was pissing it down outside, so I decided to spend the morning putting some pics on ye olde blog and getting some breakfast downstairs in the hotel.  It didnt stop pissing it down all day, mainly due to the fact that a typhoon was hitting the town of Hue just down the coast, where I am due in a couple of days!!  No typhoon in Hanoi, just strong winds and monsoon like rainfall.  As we couldnt do anything involving being outdoors for a long period of time, I decided that it would be a good idea to go to the bottle store down the road and get a bottle of Southern Comfort, starting drinking at 3pm!

All afternoon, we just sat in the hotel foyer drinking Southern Comfort and playing cards with some fellow Brits and some Irish girls.  We managed to persuade them all to join us for dinner at the all you can eat pizza restaurant, where it just happened to be buy 2 beers get one free (3 for about 70p basically).  We almost persuaded the Irish girsl to miss their flight to Ho Chi Minh that night, but they decided they couldnt afford another ticket, so they departed.  Then the English couple dropped out complaining of being tired....weak...and then all that was left was the three amigos.  We headed mover to the Polite Pub for a drink before bumping into another Brit (huge rugby player) called Lewis in Funky Monkey, where we decided it would be rude to not buy a bottle of Jim Beam between us....my idea again!  The stupid git slet me do some of the pouring as well, much to their disgust when the ended up with three parts Jim Beam, one part coke.

We were suitably oiled after this and decided to head to the infamous New Century club, where they play shocking techno music, but it was funyn all the same.  Ackroyd tried break dancing and was falling all over the shop, Lewis got chatting to Mama whore (who he stayed with later) and I nearly got thrown out because my dancing was that erratic (Oli....once again, you would have been so proud).

Ack thought he was in there with a fit Vietnamese bird (turns out she was charging one million dong for sex - about 35 quid), so myself and Al left for the Sheraton hotel where there is another night club only to find it completely dead apart from about ten Mongolian blokes.  We got talking to them and after one of the worst pool and darts displays in history we decided to head off with the Mongolians for some food and another bar (their local).  We had no idea where they were taking us, but we ended up in a street side cafe eating god knows what and I, being a complete moron, decided to down three quarters of a bottle of chilli sauce!!

After that, we boarded their motorbikes again and scooted off to a bar they knew (it was still raining monsoon style) and arrived completely piss wet through to watch the Utd game with Lille (wish I hadnt bothered now).  Me and Al also got a telling off from these guys for constantly high fiving when we were on different motorbikes......aparently it is dangerous?!?!

After the Utd game, I was miserable and Al was nackered, so the Mongolians delivered us back to our hotel and once again we woke up the night staff by knocking on the door.  About half an hour after getting in, Ack turned up fresh from a threesome with two hookers and got well annoyed beacuse Al wouldnt let him in the room without a secret password!
