Friday, 28 Dec 2007 | Views [1035]

On Day 7, I woke up feeling pretty sad because Xai had left that morning. It would be a long time before we would see him again. I remember the next two days being quite aimless. I think we were quite bored of Hanoi by then. We'd overestimated the amount ... Read more >

When I woke up that morning I opened the door and found Xai standing outside my room, about to knock. And behind him, a giant cliff passing by. Til today, that's still one of my very best travel memories. There's something magical about waking up ... Read more >

We woke up early, around 7 am, to take our bus to Halong Bay at 7:45 am. The bus was super crowded. It was really just a mni-van. Every seat was filled with a tourist and any other available floor space was filled with a backpack. The tour guide took ... Read more >

Vietnam Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City

Saturday, 22 Dec 2007 | Views [1412]

We landed in Ho Chi Minh City at 8 a.m. Vietnam time. The airport was grey and spartan, a cold welcome to a Communist country. But Ho Chi Minh's weather was not cold at all, in spite of our expectations. It was very warm, just ... Read more >
