Lianyi had been sniffling and coughing a lot and suffering from an
on-and-off fever since Halong Bay. That was Tuesday. We thought nothing
of it, just kept plying him with Panadol and Strepsils and their
Vietnamese equivalents. On Saturday I found ... Read more >

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 >

Lianyi : Do you go up to attractive Hmong girls and ask them, "Do you want to do radio?" And then they say, "Yes," and you bring them to your house and you say, "Ok, time for a mic test."? Xai : "Can you take off ... Read more >

Well
really not much happened today. Lianyi and I took a Pacific
Airlines flight to Hanoi at 10 am. To board, we had to take a shuttle

Dai Temple and the Cu Chi Tunnels. It cost us only 6 US dollars each. We

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
