sand sledding

Sand sledding was ok. It's much better on snow. As soon was we got there, children were waiting to escort us to the hill with crazy carpets. The girl that followed me was older than the others (around 12) , and a real business woman. I asked her 5 times how much it cost and she wouldn't answer. After she pushed me down the hill twice and took a few pictures she asked for 50,000 dong. That is just over 3 dollars. Doesn't sound like much, but one dollars takes care of a family in the country for one day. Plus all the other children were only chargng 10,000 dong (a more reasonable price). Another British couple, not realizing, actually paid her the 50,000. So when I said it was too much, she said "they paid it". I told her she had ripped them off. And I paid her 15,000 dong. At first the pretended to be upset, but I told her everyone else was paying 10,000 and I was being generous since she had done a good job. She then smiled and it was all good.
Otherwise I haven't don't much of anything. Rode a bike into town yesterday (about 5km). Browsed in the shops. Have been really good and not buying stuff. Bought a tank top (because I needed one) and some beaded jewllery. Thats it.
Going to Dalat tomorrow. They call it eternal spring, always around 25C. Sounds like there is good hiking there. So will be a nice change bause going to another beach after that. Alright going to lie on the beach now.
