Ahhh, so much time has passed, so many things have happened, no time to write! So I was very sad to leave the north of Vietnam - it was really amazing, more minority people wearing their different traditional clothes, more villages, beautiful ... Read more >

Following the tour crowd off the bus from Halong Bay lead us to the Blue Star Hotel on Bat Dan Street. They tried to give us a really pokey windowless room for $12 but on declining a much better room with Air Con and wifi became available for the ... Read more >

We departed Hue slightly wet but in good spirits, and boarded the 12 hour night bus to our next destination, Ninh Binh. What 'night bus' entailed was anyone's guess, but we were slightly skeptical having paid only $10 each. We were pleasantly surprised ... Read more >

Where's the sun? Seriously, this is a bit ridiculous. It's 30 degrees, hot and humid, but no sign of the sun, moon, stars or even the sky. You feel the smog on your skin, in your lungs. Maybe it's just down to our mild irritation, a natural consequence ... Read more >

Yesterday we had a full free day in Hanoi. I was excited to get a little bit of a sleep in. I stubbed my toe, for something different, and my nail broke off so I wasn't very happy. Had a quick breaky that wasn't very tasty, said goodbye to Bouna and ... Read more >

Well I haven't been keeping up with this blog of late, so let me fill everyone in on what's happened in the last week or so. I made it to Halong Bay, most importantly, but plans changed once I got there. A group of about 12 people piled out of our ... Read more >

After a long train ride, where we had to get off for border checks at 1am and 4am, we got into Hanoi at 8am. Not much else was on the agenda for that day as we were pretty buggered. The next morning we got up bright and early and did a walking tour ... Read more >

Is it that much of a SLOWLIFE? I’m in Nha Trang on assignment.
Yes I’m staying in five-star luxury, in a room fit for Napoleon, but I’m
feeling more like dynamite than dynasty.
Having spent a day discovering just how the Six Senses Ana ... Read more >

Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City was both an assult on the senses and a relief to find friendly, welcoming locals. We spent our first two days exploring some of the major landmarks in the city (old post office, Notre Dame Cathedral, War Mueseum, Bitex Co ... Read more >

Ah, Ha Noi--where traffic lanes and signals are mere suggestions... It is just as I remember it--only it's not. In 1996, the Old Quarter was filled with incessant streams of bicycles. The rich rode motorbikes and cars, an oddity, created a scene. ... Read more >

The bus from Dalat was about 7 hours and was so hot so we were pretty glad to be out of it when we arrived. We walked to the hostel which was further than we expected so by the time we arrived we were all boiling hot. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is so ... Read more >

It smells like a mix of sweat, fish sauce and traffic. The stalls are crowded together under one roof; people live, work and play here, so it is claustrophobic and chaotic, but still beautiful. This market, which takes up an entire city block at the very ... Read more >

I see life in angles in lines of perspective, the slow turn of a head, the blink of an eye, glimpses of magic that pass others by. Photography for me has shaped my life profoundly, it's given me the opportunity to pursue a passion and to find out what ...
