There's a snake in my juice.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

The whole time we've been in Vietnam, Kfir has been going on about wanting to drink snake's blood, which is a delicacy here. I'd really like to try it, and I've read that it can keep you up for 24 hours no problem and is supposed to be very good for your health. The other night, we didn't find any snakes blood unfortunately, but we did find some Cobra Wine at a nearby restaurant. Kfir had found it in the morning and had a glass with breakfast, and said it was amazing, so that night we all went to the restaurant to try it out.

The restaurant had the wine in big glass pots, where you could clearly see the beheaded cobra that was coiled inside. The family that runs the restaurant were telling us eagerly about how much they enjoy snakes blood and snakes' wine, and what a treat it is to drink it is. Apparently it makes you strong, and that men often drink to enhance their...performance...for fighting I mean. We sat down and ordered some fries, and ordered a glass of cobra wine each. The wine tastes a bit like wine and tequila mixed together(sounds gross I know, but it isn't that gross), with a hint of something else...oh right, cobra. It sounds gross I know, but it wasn't. It didn't have a very harsh taste, so I didn't think a glass would affect me much. By the end of the glass I had lost my attention span, and at the same time I was very aware. I felt really good, and I felt like I could do anything, it was great. There wasn't any blurry vision or anything like that, I just felt...good. We ordered another glass, and after that one, I was totally awake, but definitely more woosie than alert. We ran over to the internet cafe and stayed until closing, giggling and having great times in our heads. When the internet cafe closed we went back to our rooms, and we tried to fall asleep, but couldn't. I don't think I fell asleep until 3 or 4 in the morning. my body was tired, but my mind was totally energized.
It was a great experience and next time I drink it I'll only have one glass, just to enhance my attention span, not eliminate it.
I'm really stoked on drinking snakes blood, and apparently they cut it's head off right at the table and then poor it into a glass! I'm AMPED.
I'll let you know how it goes.

We arrived in Muine yesterday, it's a little beach town and were done here after one day.
Next Stop: Nha Trang.
I'll see you there.
