Saigon 2006 - Journal Entries

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 | By ericroa | Views [710]

December 23, 2006 The waves beat on the shore outside in a rhythmic pulse and I am pitifully trying to think of a bad metaphor between the ocean and life. I guess the obvious corniness of this exercise I'm subjecting myself to is just meant to ... Read more >

So, I think the last story i said i was going to go to Ha Long Bay. Well, we didn't get there, decided it was going to be to full of tourists (which we don't like to associate with, despite clearly being them!). Instead we headed to the Love ... Read more >

Saigon 2005 - Journal Entries

Wed, 5 Sep 2007 | By ericroa | Views [560]

Day1 (December 23, 2005) We began our journey by taking a two hour flight westward to HCMC (Ho Chi Minh City). This meant we'd be in a different time zone (minus one hour from Manila) and also that there'd be no jet lag. I find the idea that I'd ... Read more >

Hoi An = paradise

Mon, 3 Sep 2007 | By 3yc | Views [506] | Comments [3]

Hoi An is an incredible place. First, there is the gorgeous beach. Second, the center of town is very picturesque--old, well-maintained buildings decorated with colorful silk lanterns are huddled down by the river. The streets are clean, no motorbikes ... Read more >

Hue

Sat, 1 Sep 2007 | By 3yc | Views [462]

Hue was lovely once I was well enough to leave my hotel and see it! I spent my first two days here sick in bed--turns out I needed the cipro after all. The hotel staff were so sweet to me when I was sick, and the hotel is quite nice so I was very comfortable, ... Read more >

Anyone for a Motor Bike?

Hi All, Well I am currently in Hanoi, Vietnam and sweating like a pig. It is so humid here that it is unbelievable, but I am sure it will get worse before it gets better. After leaving Beijing on what was the wettest day of the trip so far I ventured ... Read more >

If I even began to tell you about Day 1 of this trip alone you would fall over from the stress of it all! I had fully intended to hibernate at our apartment in Shekou for my 4 days off between trips, but my second day there another tour leader popped ... Read more >

Ha Long Bay

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 | By 3yc | Views [1806]

The best way to describe Ha Long Bay is that it looks like those islands in Goonies. It's an archipeligo of over 1,000 limestone islands, and some kind of descending dragon was involved in creating them. I took a three day tour there a few days ago ... Read more >
