Well, another bus and another country to see from the window. I am still in Malaysia, no idea where as I forgot to ask how long this is or where the border is. Seems knowing that stuff just makes you want to count down and as I have said before, it's the journey.This really hit home the last couple of days.

I yearned for the resourcefulness of the Vietnamese to grab business or the joy of the Cambodians...

The Dance.We stayed two nights on Ko Libong. Because we were with John, the British guy taking a break from his British life who lives at his resort , we hung around with the staff of the resort:  the boat drivers, the cooks, their families, all the kids - a really nice local flavor as there were only a couple of other couples around and they were off doing couple stuff in the romantic spaces.The first night we were there we were drinking some cheap local rum ...
