This morning we left Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam for that matter. Next stop Cambodia. At the moment my plans are a bit up in the air. I was hoping to stay traveling south east Asia until mid December but it looks like I will have to go home early. During my travels down Vietnam I was lucky enough to get myself a phone interview for a job in Dublin. Trying to do a phone interview in a country where Internet is often sporadic was no easy affair I can tell you especial...

Our final day in Ho Chi Minh was spent shopping. Once again Andy opted out of this excursion but myself Becky and Katie walked the streets for hours going from one shopping area to another.

Some cities and town are jut better than others for shopping...

The clothes in this town were amazing, different from anywhere else I have been bar at home. Shops had beautiful summer dressed and maxi dresses. I really wanted to buy lots but held myself back because I still am not sure how long I will be traveling for and how much money I need. I got myself one bea...

This morning myself and Laura decided to get a scooter and head up along the coast of Hoi An. We went from shop to shop looking for the perfect scooter as most places only rented powerful motor bikes which kind of scared us. Eventually we found the cutest little blue scooter and we were delighted with it. The lady informed us that it was an electric scooter but that this wouldn't be a problem so off we went, laura doing the driving with me her pretty lady on the ...
