Hot Springs

This was a while ago, but I wanted to write about it before I forget about it.

A few weeks ago when it was raining in Hue, My and I set out to find some hot springs in the jungle that her cousin was talking about. We found them at the foot of a mountain about 40 km outside Hue.

The place was deserted except for us, and was set in a wild bamboo thicket at the foot of a waterfall. With rain falling on my head, I submerged myself in the warm water up to my eyes and swam along the river bank. I felt like a special ops jungle commando, hunting Charlie.... or some other guy who swims with a knife in his teeth.

I found out that day that one of My's favorite movies is Rambo, believe it or not. She thinks it's hilarious. We re-enacted the scene where Rambo camouflages himself as part of the riverbank in order to ambush the poor vietnamese guy. My was the vietnamese guy.
