I had heard both good and bad things about Phnom Penh before arriving, and after having stayed a couple of days; I can say that I didn’t really like it. It’s not a relatively big city, but it seems dirtier, grittier, and a lot more “raw” that some of the…

We slept right through the sunrise Saturday morning; not waking up until we…

Kampot
Crossing the border from Vietnam, there was an instant change in the housing, and use of the land. Rice fields are everywhere, and the houses look a bit more conventional, than they did throughout Vietnam. It was really crazy to see such a visible change, just because we crossed an…

Phu Quoc
After spending a short night in Rach Gia after arriving at 3am, we took a ferry to Phu Quoc where we spent the next 3 days. The ferry was small hydrofoil and it took almost 3 hours to get to the island. We grabbed taxis with some girls from Australia,…

Ho Chi Ming City (Saigon)
After I landed and met up with Dwang for the night we ate some food and went to bed. I was pretty exhausted. I woke up and went out to get lost in the city. It was quite different from the rest of Vietnam, as the people seemed much more…

Phong Nha Ke Bang is a large national park located just about in the middle of Vietnam. After an adventurous 12 hours bus ride from Hanoi, we got kicked out in a daze just after 6am. I grabbed a taxi with some dudes form NewFoundLand, and we headed about an…

After 4 days of Visa nonsense in Nanning trying to secure an entry into Vietnam, I’m finally on my way. Yesterday was probably the worst day, trekking through the city to find a train ticket only to find they were sold out, and then finding a bus to take me.…

Yangshuo
Yangshuo (pronounced Young-sh-woah) like Zhangjiajie is surrounded by some very unique scenery. It is a little bit bigger than Zhangjiajie, equally as pretty, but in a different way. There are literally thousands of limestone mountains, or “mounds” that jut up in the sky. The Li and Yulong Rivers snake their…

Zhangjiajie
First off this was probably one of the coolest places I have been here in China. The rock formations and scenery are very unique. I don’t think any other place even comes close to matching this beautiful scenery. Sure I’ve seen some great views in the Unitas, the Rocky’s and…

Milk, Oreos and Potato Chips
Milk, Oreos and Potato Chips Asian flavors have a lot of influence on food and snacks that western companies sell in this part of the world. For example, McDonalds has different flavors of pies (Taro, Banana, and Pineapple), along with rice on the menu. KFC has a chicken patty with…
