After 11 hours on a bus, we made it to our first stop in Vietnam. The border crossing was a breeze and the scenery coming down from the mountains was as beautiful as expected. Compared to Laos, Vietnam is loud, fast-paced, and aggressive. The change ... Read more >

we made it to Hoi An today - really charming place with 'old' (we've discovered this means before 1900, possibly because of the many wars fought in VietNam) Chinese-influenced wooden buildings. 2 nights per month (full and new moons) there's no electric ... Read more >
