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
bus from the gate to the plane. On the bus we made friends with
Raphael, a middle-aged Australian ... Read more >

We booked a day trip out of Ho Chi Minh City today, to go to the Cao
Dai Temple and the Cu Chi Tunnels. It cost us only 6 US dollars each. We
set off at 8 a.m. A bus picked us up at our guesthouse after breakfast,
which was provided free at ... Read more >

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 >

We met at about 9 a.m. in the morning for breakfast at the

We
set out at 730 a.m. We checked out of our rooms at The Boddhi Tree, but
left our luggage at the café. Our driver was a local who barely spoke a
word of English. This meant we had to make up a new word for
"waterfall"... Read more >

How do I even begin to describe this day? Ok, from the start: We started the day with breakfast. Our friends were held up for some reason, so Lianyi and I headed off to the Lonely Planet-recommended Sunrise Coffee House without them. We were its first ... Read more >

Another early start to the day. We met at the lobby of our guesthouse at 6.30 am. A bus was supposed
to come and pick us up at 6.40 to take us to the bus terminal, where we
would take another bus at 7.30 to Battambang. But that first bus came
only ... Read more >

Day
2 was all about the Wats. All of us, minus Uma because she'd done this before, met our driver at 4.30
a.m. and made our way back to the Angkor Wat. It was pitch black
darkness. There are no streetlights in Siem Reap, not even ... Read more >

We met at the airport at 4 a.m. all bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived. All of us felt like we looked like shit, so no photos were taken. Changi Airport is very quiet and mostly empty at 4 a.m; I didn't expect that. Most shops were closed. The flight ... Read more >
