Trip through Vietnam, one month

Ching Chow  live in the outskirts of the city with his mom, dad, grandfather, grand mothers, 3 cats  and 3 dogs. They live in a 3 room house made of mud.

Since there are only two bus companies leaving Sihanoukville, I highly reccomend getting your ticket as far in advance as possible, as I coudn't find one and had to buy my friends because I had to teach the following day... Cambodia is definitely a country that will leave an impression on you.  The people are very friendly and jump at the opportunity to practice their english.  Numerous men that I have met in differnet parts of the country were very poor and seemed unable to dig th...

5th Feb 2008 - We had to get up early yet again to catch our bus to Phnom Penh which is the capital of Cambodia. We headed off and bought some supplies for the 6 hour journey from the nearby market (more cake). Again the bus stops a couple of times on the way to give everyone a break. The second time we stopped we nearly got killed by manic children trying to sell us fruit. I told them all I didn’t want any just to get them out the way for a minute and to allow me to get off the bu...

*This entry is backdated*We arrived in Saigon, and headed to the hotel that I usually stay at when I'm there. Then we decided to take a look around town, and get something to eat.Later on that day we met up with Hong at Highlands Coffee, and I got to meet her baby daughter for the first time. I was so excited, and she was so cute. That night Jenni and I headed out to the backpacker area for a few drinks, and we ended up having a pretty early night.The next day we decided to go to the market, ...

Call me freak, call me nerd.. or even.. call me an alcoholic :).. But.. here's the snap shots of the drinks (and the bottles)

Today we woke up around 7:30am.  Steve had some interest in going to a site just outside of Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi tunnels.  We saw that there were probably buses that go there around 8am, so we quickly got out of bed, packed up our stuff and left the hotel.  We went to the travel agency next door, and it was exactly 8am and we said we want to go to the Cu Chi tunnels now.  He said the bus was full, but ran to a nearby travel agency to see if they had room.  The...

We woke at 7am and had a breakfast of pineapple, watermelon, dragonfruit (colourful outside, monochrome inside) and banana downstairs before setting out to the bus station and the bank to get some chores done. We walked to get a feel for the place, but I hoped to convince Zoe to hire bicycles as I was sure that seeing all the sights of the city would be tough going on our feet. Seeing all the crazy motorcycle traffic the night before had not reassured her of the safety of this however, and th...

our first full day in Dalat we walked in the heat (no suncream, we were told dalat was supposed to be cool) to ? pagoda...noone there apart for a monk at the altarchanting and donging a bell in rhythm. I then tried to guide us all to ? Monastery but couldn't find it so gave up and sat and a had a drink for a while to get out of the heat.  We then made our way to 'Crazy house' (or Hang Nga Guesthouse and art gallery)..called crazy house by the locals because a very strange ...
