It's 10:30 AM, day 5 in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Socialist in name only, seeing as it has the most business-minded people we've seen on this trip so far, but the hammer-and-sickle banners all around Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) make for an ... Read more >

Nha Trang was a beautiful place and then they built those things, so it takes some skill in overlooking atrocious pink monuments and Holywood-type island labels. The sand glows during the day and at night they have a campfire on the beach, which we ... Read more >

Tomorrow we have a rather morbid schedule and I probably won't write or at least I won't write about today so here's as much as I can think of right now. We arrived today in Phnom Penh. It's an unbelievably lively, friendly city and even if a lot of ... Read more >

That's right, third day in Cambodia and second cycling around Angkor. And we finally saw Angkor Wat today. In fact, me and Lisa hid when the guards were kicking everyone out (we went on a ledge behind a corner and no, it wasn't dangerous cause there ... Read more >
