Climbing (trekking actually) Fansipan aka Phan Xi Pang.
First day I got lost. I took the wrong way which was taking to Love Waterfalls. I was thinking that the path up to mountain starts also from there. I followed a small path and started to go up. The way got narrower and narrower but I still saw some human traces so i didnt give up. Finally i got quite high and there was no path anymore... but i didnt want to go back the same way, because it was really unfriendly. All those plants with spines which were scratching me, they were just so scary that i wanted to find another way. No way. Panic.
Finally i found a small stream going down and i started to follow it, At least there were a bit less vegetation. Well, there were some waterfalls, so that i needed to go around or do some rock/mud/root climbing. When i arrived down and tried to clean my shoes and socks, i fell into the river. Nice day.

 |
| when you get up, you need to enter this ugly building and finish the summit by climbing stairs of some temple with many cable car tourists. |
yeah, the weirdest thing up there was to see how people coming by cable car went to the summit point milestone, and took photos showing their biceps. Did the cable car trip really need that much muscle power?
