Number of squashed snakes on the road: 63 (Quite a low figure really considering we were in Vietnam for two months.)
Number of squashed eels on the road that must have fallen from a vehicle, originally tallied with the snakes but after some thought about the looks of the thing switched to this category: 1
Number of snakes squashed on the road and then covered with a thick layer of tar: 2
Number of squashed rats on the road: I didn’t count but I can tell you that I’ve never seen so many. And they were huge. There were dozens and dozens of them and probably would have beaten the number of snakes.
Live snakes seen 2
The price of bananas was fairly consistent at around 25-30 small ones per dollar.

Cheapest beer of my life: 15 cents for a large mug of draft beer.
Cheapest guest house - $6.50 in Tri Ton in the Delta
Most expensive guest house - $20 in Hanoi
Best words printed on a woman’s shirt “I’m Fine”
Odd Fact: There are no bungie cords in Vietnam.
