In early 2007, my wife and I are travelling around the world over a six month period.

  Deb & I spent the entire day wandering around Hanoi and just taking it all in really. We did make a brief attempt to visit Ho Chi Minh Museum & Mausoleum but unfortunately turned up when they were closed for lunch. It was not really a dissapointment as to be honest  i much prefer to just explore places on foot than be couped up in Museums. I had been going on about my love for Pho so this was an obvious choice for lunch when we stopped to rest. On route back to the hostel …

Beginning in Vietnam and ending in Cambodia. Hopefully I won't get malaria this time.

Another sleeper bus landed the four of us in Hanoi, where our planned trip to Ha Long Bay was cancelled due to a typhoon. The Irish Three signed up for a two-day tour of the bay, and I signed up for a three-day tour. With an unplanned day to spend in Hanoi we decided to walk around and visit a few local sites. After checking into a guesthouse, getting lost, and grabbing lunch, Dave and I set off in search of the Army Museum, which was supposed to be pretty cool. We arrived to a closed…

We took a flight from SFO to Taiwan, and from Taiwan to Ho Chi Minh City. From Ho Chi Minh City was another flight to Hanoi up North. In Hanoi, we visited the Ho Chi Minh Masoleum, the Presidental House, the Ho Chi Minh Museum, One Pillar Pagoda, Temple of Literature, and Hoa Lo Prison. Truly awesome tourist sightseeing day. We stayed at the Church Hotel, which was very clean and which I had booked via email due to its recommendation by Lonely Planet Vietnam.

Vietnam and Cambodia are really affordable to everyone. I have found the people to be very friendly in both countries. I visisted Saigon and did all the side trips (Megkong Delta, Chi Chu tunnels, Cat Tien national Park), Hanoi including the Halong Bay trip and Sapa. In Cambodia I unfortunately only did Siem Reap with 4 temples of which Angkor Wat is the most famous. I loved it and would do it again.
