Luscious Laos

LAOS | Saturday, 10 May 2008 | Views [1012]

There is so much more to write about Cambodia.   It’s a country that changes lives.   It affected us both greatly.   At times it left us saddened to the core of our souls with the tragic history of what the Khmer people have been through.   At ... Read more >

The Killing Fields

CAMBODIA | Saturday, 19 Apr 2008 | Views [1095]

It’s difficult to put into words what we saw the other day.   It’s difficult in anyway to understand what the Cambodian people have been through.   Actually I find it impossible to grasp.   In 1975, after 5 years of civil war, The Khmer ... Read more >

Cambodian Crossing

CAMBODIA | Thursday, 17 Apr 2008 | Views [884]

We crossed the border into Cambodia on a boat travelling down the Mekong. The change was immediately apparent. The Cambodian people are far more laid back than their Vietnamese neighbours. They are extremely friendly and welcoming and even the hawkers ... Read more >

Easy Rider

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 9 Apr 2008 | Views [2326]

It all started as we were strolling along the beach at Nha Trang one bright sunny day.  As the waves gently lapped against the plastic bag lined shore and we admired the massive Hollywood style VINPEARL sign on a nearby island, these two Vietnamese ... Read more >

Nha Trang Chillout

VIETNAM | Friday, 28 Mar 2008 | Views [2746]

We've been laying on deck chairs under coconut thatched umbrellas on the beach at Nha Trang for the greater part of two days just chillin' out, slurping Mango Lassi's and looking at the calm turquoise water of Nha Trang Bay.  We landed here quite by ... Read more >

We've been laughing our arses off at some of the hotel descriptions.  You know, the things hotels say to entice you to stay there.  Well in Vietnam they reach a whole new level and we feel compelled to share them with you. "Welcome to GOLDEN HOTEL ... Read more >

Smells

VIETNAM | Tuesday, 18 Mar 2008 | Views [928]

There’s a smell up here in the mountains of Northern Vietnam.   It’s hard to place.   It’s a mix of the wood burned in fireplaces every night, it’s part cardoman drying, it’s the smell of farmyards, and freshly cut fields.   It’s Vietnamese sizzling ... Read more >

"You buy from me?"

VIETNAM | Friday, 14 Mar 2008 | Views [1661] | Comments [3]

Every day that we spend in SaPa reaffirms that our decision to travel here independently and for 8 days, rather than take a short 3 day organized tour was the right one.  We feel that we have really soaked in the true feeling of the town, the surrounding ... Read more >
