Halong Bay.

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 7 Apr 2010 | Views [314]

So turned up to Hanoi on a sleeper bus - quite literally, the bus comprised of three rows of bunk beds. Although I spent one day in Hanoi, we quickly boarded a bus for Halong bay the next day. Me and Jack managed to meet up with everyone so we were ... Read more >

Hue

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 7 Apr 2010 | Views [370]

After a night on the train we pulled up to Hue, about 10mins later than we expected (just like England...). Checked in to a hotel and went to the imperial citadel on the 1st day. A lot of it is being rebuilt and refurbished. I thought this was cheating ... Read more >

Nha Trang

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 7 Apr 2010 | Views [255]

So we turned up to the beach and it started to rain...and didn't really stop. Ended up going to a waterpark on Vinpearl island just off the shore of Nha Trang proper. We figured we were gonna get soaked anyway so may as well. Stayed one night. Its pretty ... Read more >

Dalat

VIETNAM | Thursday, 1 Apr 2010 | Views [322]

We turned up to Delat not really knowing what to expect. I found it great. There were less western people than in Saigon (or Siem Reap for that matter) Being aboput 1500m above sea level it was a lot cooler too. Stayed there 2 nights in the end and ... Read more >

Saigon

VIETNAM | Thursday, 1 Apr 2010 | Views [292]

So we turned up to Saigon pretty late in the evening. The central area we stayed in was pretty western looking - very french influenced. Stayed a couple of nights, the city itself is pretty much what you expect, but the Cu Chi tunnels outside were ... Read more >

Phnom Penh

CAMBODIA | Tuesday, 23 Mar 2010 | Views [357]

Left Siem Reap on the Saturday heading off for Vietnam. Stopping off at the capital for a couple of morbid days. The only 2 places of note that I visited were S-21 and the Killing fields. S-21 used to be a school that Pol Pot ordered to be converted ... Read more >


Moving in Day

CAMBODIA | Friday, 19 Mar 2010 | Views [715]

today we saw the moving in ceremony for our house. With some local help we managed to get it finished in time for our last day. The ceremony started with the village holy man blessing the house, after which a random couple moved in. Apparently it is ... Read more >

Kratie

8 of us went on a trip east to Kratie over the weekend in search of the rare Irrawaddy dolphin. Apparently there are only 75 left in the wild and they are all native to an area of the Mekong River near to Kratie.   It took us about 7hrs by minibus (including ... Read more >

Angkor Wat

CAMBODIA | Monday, 1 Mar 2010 | Views [357]

Over the weekend I headed to Angkor Wat park, though only very briefly to Angkor Wat it self. We caught a Tuk Tuk and got driven to various temples over the two days. I think in total we got approximately 14 temple hours under our belts. There seems ... Read more >

It was the last day for one of the long term volunteers today so a village party was organised. Pig was on the menu - a whole one cooked overnight. Plus 15 slabs of the finest Angkor Beer. The experiance was quite surreal, the whole of the local community came ... Read more >


Siem Reap Update

CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 24 Feb 2010 | Views [373]

I've uploaded some more pics of the buiding project. Apart from the building nothing much to tell - still haven't been to the temples. A few drinks and amazing food. I think the name of the village where the building is being done is called Bos
