Shepards

My cheech and chong adventure true Cambodia came to a bitter end on a hill-top in Bokor in the far south of the country. Basically I was on top of a hill in a pair of flip-flop's /Thongs and shorts when it got really cold and rainy. So as the shepard said to the sheep I left. High tailing across the Mekong Delta by beat up toyota camry, jeep, bus and ferry I made it to Saigon in a day. Fantabulous.

I didn't do much there, stayed one night in the city and high-tailed it north in search of a bit of sun. But I did do the Viet Cong tunnel thing's which was kinda cool but one thing blew my head-phones. Its called Cao Daoism. Some mystic made it up at the beginning of the 19th century, its kinda religion on acid. The temple is this wacked out place full of colours and the "all seeing eye" the roof is coloured with stars and all that. First of all they believe a one god whos messangers where Buddha, jesus, mohammed and moses. But we got the message confused and thats why there are so many religions. The diciple's of this religion are Victor Hugo, Joan of arc, William Shakespeare, Luis Pastuer and Lenin. I know its just getting wackier. Now the self ordained pope made the rules to this religion by holding a crayon with a stick and chanting to the gods and the wrote the rules down for everyone to follow. Luckily this guy was pope and no one else can now communicate with god. 2 Million people believed this hippy nut job, but then again about 1 billion people believe jesus walked on water. Whoo, don't go there shane, back it up. no more criticising religion, there all fucked. Here's me trying to get it on with jesus

So now I'm in Na Thrang, went on a night bus took 30 mg of Valium last night and still couldn't sleep on the bus. Everybody else slept but theres me valiumed up to the eyeballs staring around. I'm giving up on night buses.
