Troi oi

So i didn't do much in Phnom Penh because i've been furiously sick. I literally couldn't get out of bed all day the other day due to a lovely fever. I tell you one thing, traveling around in Southeast Asia while feverishly ill SUCKS.

I made it to Vietnam though, but My never got my email and my phone was dead so i waited around for an hour and then got a taxi to My's folks' house. They were excited to see me, but i felt bad because i was so ill. Not an entrance i would have wanted.

My took me home though and is taking care of me. Freshly squeezed OJ. Strawberry shakes. Pirated DVDs.

Incidentally, when the vietnamese dub a movie, for some reason they only use one actress for all of the voices. And she doesn't even try to differentiate between the characters, or include ANY emotional nuances. I don't know how the vietnamese can understand it. Looks and sounds very confusing to me. Another thing i wonder about is the fact that there's only ONE woman who does this for each and every movie dubbed in vietnamese. Is it because the industry here is so cheap, or is this girl just so good the public demands her? Who IS this girl?? I gotta find out.
