Been Der, Don Det

Aside from visiting SE Asia's strongest waterfall on the next island Don Khon, getting lost on a bicycle for half a day (only I can get lost on an island), and in during some serious downpour I read a ton and probably slept 18 hours a day in a hammock. It was glorious! Not as glorious as the shanty cabina I stayed in though. It was just over two dollars each a night so we took it. The gateway going up the stairs was just big enough for me to squeeze through, there were massive gaps above and below the door which was locked in place from the inside by two bent nails, the bathroom had no light and the shower rarely worked. On top of that there was no sink, you could bust through one of the walls just by whispering directly into it, the mosi net came down above the bed and finished about a foot above the mattress, or the space of a human sleeping so to speak, and as always, ants were everywhere. To take it all home I ended up getting violently ill for a couple days in which I got to spend several hours hunched over a squat toilet, could you picture anything worse to throw up into? Yes, so could I but it was pretty awful considering how weak I was. It was, however, the first time I've gotten ill on this trip so I gladly sucked it up. But on the Charlie Sheen side of things it had two hammocks and a deck over the Mekong river, Winning! Fun Fact: It is humanly possible to sleep for days in a hammock
