New Years in Mui Ne

Hello everyone,

We are having a good time here in Mui Ne. It is a long beach with a lot of resorts but we our staying in this budget hotel for 8$ a night and having a great time. The place is clean and on the beach. We can't ask for anything more.

We arrived in Mui Ne on the 28th of December and met up with some friends we met in Sapa. We had a great time with Julien and Stefan. Julien is from France and Stefan is from Switzerland. They are two great guys that always had something to say and loved to have fun. We cruised around town with them, going to the sand dunes and other things. We have been soaking up the rays and enjoying the beach. We ate, drank and visited the beach for four days and did not sleep much. It was awesome

For New Years, the four of us went to eat some seafood on the main strip and enjoyed some drinks and the food. It was cool because we brought our own drinks with us and didn't have to buy any at the restaurant. Then, we went to a cool bar on the beach called Wax. The party was pumping. We listen to music and dances it up all night on the beach. There was even a fire on the beach. It was a really different New Years then at home. We missed being around our friends and family for the New Year but it was special to be able to spent it on the beach in shorts and even going for a swim.

To all those that gather at the Proulx household, we missed celebrating the New Year with you. Can't wait to do it next year. For everyone else, we hope to be celebrating our return to Canada when we get home. To the families, we misse you and can't wait to be with you again.

We had a great time in 2006 and had a lot of fun remembering it all in the past few days. We hope to have another year like the last.

As for the rest of our travels, we will be staying in Mui Ne for a few more days. We are enjoying the pace of life and the beach. We will go to Ho Chi Min City on Thursday and then up the Mekong into Cambodia. We hope to be in Ankor Wat by the 8 or 9th of January. We are going to Thailand around the 15th but want to make sure things are settling down there before we get there.

We wish everyone a great year. We are enjoyig ourselves.

Talk to you all soon,

Christian and Karina

PS We hope to put some pics up soon if we can get a god CPU.
