Hey all! Im now in the very north of Vietnam in the mountain village of Sapa. Ive been trekking here for the past 3 days. I went on a 2 day tour of the mountains around Sapa, staying one night in a family home and one night in the hotel back in Sapa. The first day i treked for about 5 hours through the steep rice fields and down into the valleys. The views are spectacular!We eventually arrived at a small village where we will spend the night in a wooden ho...

We took a car from the border to Siem Reap, which we were told it would take 3 hours-wel...
