... carrying some very expensive looking photography equipment and one told me she was from Melbourne in Australia's very southern tip. We struck up a brief conversation and she said her group were going as far as 'Da'nang,' which was one of the stops on the rail line. Shortly after that, they disappeared in single file to the next carriage and that was the last of them that day, or,... for the rest of the journey come ...

... stilted wooden dwellings in desperate states of repair, practically collapsing into the water. The banks and water were covered in refuse, and a terrible stench of sewage and rotting eggs pervaded the air. It looked a very miserable slice of life, and one that is largely shielded from the streetside view and more salubrious areas. A worthy insight, but one we were grateful to pass through, making us appreciate our clean and comfortable surroundings a little bit more!

... condemned but I'm not sure other nations can
hold the higher moral ground. Australia for one certainly has
committed its share of horrors against its aboriginal people (looking
at the book along with the French they were most vocal in their
anti-US comments). The only “good US” news in the museum was a
blurb that in the Clinton era the US donated money for mine clearing
equipment and to ...

... tour in the Mekong Delta. It was a little bit too much for tourists (coconut candy, paper rice fabrication, etc...) but at the end of the day we were only 8 to spend the night in a homestay. We could finally feel the spirit from the Mekong Delta. After a well deserved beer we cooked with the local people, eat everything and spent a wonderful night with a good friend: his name is banana alcohol (ouch !).
The day after we went to the floating ...

... at the same time. Frightened, intrigued and fascinated, we attempted to cross the pandemonium that is Saigon roads many times, trying to gauge where the gaps were to avoid being hit. No one stops in Saigon you see - its just not efficient!

... early start as we went to see the Chu Chi tunnels 30Km out of Ho Chi Minh. The size of the tunnels shocked me the most, they were so small and narrow, they were less than the length of the keyboard and not much wider. I would not have been able to live down there for years to hide from the Americans. Tourists are allowed to climb through one tunnel that was 7m long, I chose not to as it was dark and full of bats but Mei did. Tourists guides are so lax out here, they used to let ...

... Not on the traditional tourist trail, it's the beach that Vietnamese go to, and pretty much ONLY Vietnamese. So much so that when we walked down the street people stopped, pointed and stared. I checked, there was nothing on my face but my white skin. It was amazing. The locals were so local they've never had to learn that staring was rude; it was just incredible to see white people. We received many "Hellos" and smiles, and it felt great.

... the previous night, was a bit angry at another late start but what can you do? We finally got up to go pick up our Cambodian visas. In the evening, we headed to the nearby famous bustling Ben Thanh market for some food. The menu had a few local delights including a brilliant portion of goat’s nipple! Surely that can’t be a very big meal? Andy had snails as a side dish which I personally wasn’t that big a fan of. As we left, one of the waiters hilariously told ...
