So, I'm the last one to visit here. After gruelling Hanoi - Bangkok - HK trip involving sleeping at Bangkok airport, Ia rriver 6pm. Slept. Have stood on the Kowloon shore with the view of Hong Kong island and man is it pretty. Such a difference from anything I've seen in a long time. Since I only have 2 days here before my flight home, everythings either going to be very hectic or I'll stuff it ll and just wander around buying seemingly extrodinarily expensiv...

I knew I was in trouble when the guide had to lift his hand so we could follow him through the throngs of tourists. Tonnes of boats all fully laden with westerners and Vietnamese. Firs...

well after a brief, 5 day stay in cambodia during which i eperienced the worst bus ride ever, i arrived back in bangkok. the angkor temples were quite fascinating, however, unfortunately, other than the main temple-angkor wat and the ruins of ta phrom (left to be overgrown by the jungle like the french found it 150 years ago) most of the temples look very similar. having realised this and getting mugged practically everywhere i went by kids trying to sell scarves...
