SE Asia Trip highlights so far
The trip has been great so far! Me and Skippy (Ryan) have taken lots of photos and some pretty good videos too. I will upload everything when I get some more time!
We started in Bangkok for a night. Then we heading into Laos, where we started in Vientiane, then headed to Vang Vieng, which was just awesome. Then it was back to Vientiane and a flight into Hanoi. From Hanoi we went to Halong Bay, and Cat Bah Island. From Hanoi, we took an overnight train to Hoi An, and spent a few days there. Then we flew to Saigon.
Right now we are about to go check out the wave pool. Then tomorrow we head off to Chau Doc then into Cambodia, where we will first go to Phnom Penh then into Siem Reap. After that, its party time in Ko Phangan and Ko Samui.
Heres some highlights from the trip so far:
- Eating food / drinking at the open restaurants on the Mekong River in Vientiane, Laos
- Tubing down the river in Vang Vieng, Laos. Stopping at Bars along the way, and swinging on flying foxes.
- Beerlao
- Staying overnight on the boat in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, and staying on Cat Bah Island. We had a great bunch of people on this tour and had a wicked time!
- The snake restaurant in Le Mat, Hanoi. They killed the snake in front of us, then we drank the blood mixed with rice wine, and bile mixed with rice wine. Then they prepared the snake in many different ways.
- Hanging out in Hoi An, with its ancient streets and red lanterns at night. So cool.
- Shopping in Hoi An. Lots of Tiger singlets!
- Crawling through the Cu Chi Tunnels near Saigon (Ho Chi Min City).
- Firing an AK-47! Only 5 rounds, but it was worth it.
More updates as soon as possible!
