Good Morning Vietnam.













Vietnam just happened to take the cake in my Southeast Asia travels... a land that is starting to come into it's own. Its amazing history is everywhere, and Vietnamese people will never let an American forget who won the war (oh, they did). To die for food that's sold from street stalls (note to self, must find a place in Western Society that sells bún chả). Not to mention the dog that is roasting for someone's lunch... From dressmakers in Hoi An to the thousands of rocks jutting out of the water in Halong Bay, this is a country I will be visiting again. Good nite 'Nam.

indonesians and the gili.











From Bali to Gili Islands... this place rocked my socks. And Indonesians just won the ticket for favorite foreigners. 1) Girls trip snorkeling around the Gilis 2) lunching 3) Haynsie gets his tan on 4) / 5) / 6) local snaps 7) Old Mate Jay having a whinge 8) Bright town in the hipster specs 9) locals passing us on the footpath

I miss Indo!

kawp chai ly ly (thank you very much).





Ahh Laos. The country that is pronounced without the "s" sound. 80% rice paddies, amazing mountains and drunken tubing down the river, as well as the most amazing BBQ I have ever tasted. Also a place I had never heard of until I booked my ticket to Southeast Asia... and I'm not even one of the ignorant Americans.
