Im trying to load up some pics

Started from Hong Kong, went to Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and finally South Korea.

The crouded places, but still some of those parks right…

Started off the day at Pho 2000, apparently the same place where Bill Clinton stopped in for a bowl of soup when he visited. Popped into the Ben Thanh Market, a huge indoor market with hundreds of stalls, many of them pedaling a lot of the same goods: silks, perfume, shoes, fake designer jeans, bag…

I travel down thru Vietnam

I'd considered doing the day trip out to the Cu Chi tunnels but I kind of felt like I'd been there and done that at the Vinh Moch tunnels up near Hue.  I also couldn't do the 2 day tour to Phenom Penh since my Cambodian visa wasn't going to be ready in time so it's a bit of day of odds and end…
