Thailand - the King and Beaches rule here

THAILAND | Tuesday, 5 Feb 2008 | Views [1867] | Comments [4]

At first, Chiang Rai gives us a somewhat sleezy view of Thailand and causes us to wonder if sex is bigger than scenery as a draw for tourists here.  And in Chiang Mai the women are in every nook and cranny plying for business, but, we actually begin ... Read more >

Laos - Land of Beauty and Elephants

LAOS | Thursday, 10 Jan 2008 | Views [778]

Flying into Luang Prabang in Laos is watching a dream unfold.  The desire to see this country has been brewing for twenty years, and the sight of the lush green hills rising sharply to our plane brings a smile to our faces.  Fabulously beautiful place.... Read more >

Cambodia - Land of Extremes

CAMBODIA | Thursday, 27 Dec 2007 | Views [1064]

This is a landscape full of hardship and splendour.  Toyota Camrys and donkey carts.  In Phnom Penh we stayed where the queen stayed for $20/night.  Rats and squalor share the block with the Royal Palace.  Dirt, grime, litter, stinking sewers, begging ... Read more >

Nha Trang, Saigon & the Mekong Delta

VIETNAM | Thursday, 20 Dec 2007 | Views [1093] | Comments [3]

Ahhh...Nha Trang. The airport is 35km south of town but that gives us a lovely drive with beach glimpses along the way. What luck, we're dropped off two blocks from the hotel we wanted! 8th floor view over the beach, ocean, hills and city...just great! ... Read more >

Nguyen Dynasty at Hue

VIETNAM | Tuesday, 11 Dec 2007 | Views [1610] | Comments [4]

13 Emperors called Hue home and the treasured buildings left behind for us to understand them are a Unesco World Heritage Site.  Deservedly so.  We caught a glimpse of these powerful leaders through their elaborate tombs built by and for them.  Why the ... Read more >

Danang to Hoi An - The Magnificent Cham

VIETNAM | Sunday, 9 Dec 2007 | Views [717]

Danang's riverfront promenade welcomes those fresh from the Hanoi moto scene and leads us quietly along the banks of the Han River to the magnificent Cham Sculpture Museum.  This is easily a major highlight of the central coast of Vietnam with a brilliant ... Read more >

Northeast Vietnam

VIETNAM | Thursday, 6 Dec 2007 | Views [514] | Comments [1]

Hanoi is a buzz of bleeping motos and a flurry of activity everywhichway!  We loved it.  Nestled down a narrow alley tucked 5 floors above the street, we come and go to the streets below for superb 50cent Pho and the fun of it.  Everywhere in Vietnam ... Read more >

Sapa - Hills of Beauty

VIETNAM | Friday, 30 Nov 2007 | Views [897]

Walked the bridge into Vietnam today to discover a country of quieter people.  Many more smiling faces than China and NO SPITTING!  Yayee!  There are also way fewer smokers here than China...but with the behemoth Chinese super-highway being built to the ... Read more >

Reflections on China

CHINA | Friday, 30 Nov 2007 | Views [404]

China was much easier to travel in then we excpected, at least in the small southern portion we explored. Transportation tickets were pretty easy and cheap to purchase and schedules strictly adhered to...well, departure times anyway. The trains and buses ... Read more >
