Trip around SE Asia
September 14, 2008
Rush hour in the relatively small city of Rach Gia, Vietnam
- Journaling on our “junk” in HaLong Bay
Here is a quick post with some pictures from my month-long tour of Kuala Lumpur, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Probably the hardest part of this trip was learning how to say “hello” and “thank you” in each new place as we were crossing borders seemingly every day. As the Lonely Planet so insightfully pointed out, this is the best way to endear yourself to the locals, and dare I say it worked.
Special thanks to travel companion Kyle Taylor for all the spectacular pictures.
