Today i went on a day trip to the Mekong Delta. I think we'll be going there with the tour but I fancied getting out of the city and no harm done to do it twice. So we (there were mostly Aussies, a few Chinese, and another girl on her own, Anna from Israel) ... Read more >

Well I arrived last night, didn't see much in the dark apart from the sea of motorbikes. They've well and truly usurped the bicycle. I was tickled to see people using them as foot rests too and some even indoors, seems they're allowed everywhere, the ... Read more >

Took the mid day flight down to Hue with Vietnam Airlines; got a business class ticket again, the price difference is not a huge amount and it just means things are a little hassle free, you get your luggage through at the other end first, which means ... Read more >

Whose idea was it for me to bring a small bag? I wish I'd brought a suitcase. An empty one. Took the overnight train to Hoi An, a small town halfway up the cast. It's known for the silk trade and has about 200 tailors, all making gorgeous made to measure ... Read more >

After a two hour bumpy flight up from Saigon with Vietnam airlines I arrived in Hanoi in the North. I think it must be the A330's which are bumpy because the weather was quite good. Again I paid inside the terminal for the taxi, I am sure it was an ... Read more >

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 >
