As we enter the mountains people excitedly scramble to snap a thousand photos that will inhabit their phones and computers unviewed for years to come. Then, excitement over, they return to their seats to sleep.Read more

After another bloody cold night on the train (even after buying a blanket) "woke" to watch the last couple hours of scenery into Vancouver city. The best scenery of the trip in my opinion. 18 hours till my flight, any suggestions? 😁😁Read more

Guangzhou
January 22, 2016 in China ⋅ 🌬 8 °C
After a nice 12 hour flight in a 787 Dreamliner, had a 4 hour stopover in Guangzhou airport. I didn't realize it would be freezing in the airport or i would have brought a jacket, I think it was actually less than 10C in there. I thought I was gonna die! Again, so glad i bought the train blanket 😁Read more

Ho Chi Minh is an awsome city, so noisy and crazy traffic! Lots of food and stuff to buy everywhere! Riding motorbike here is so fun too, not much for traffic rules, you just have to push your way through the hundreds of othe motorbikes and dodge the ones in your way, so awsome!Read more

Took a walk to the river in Hoi An to look at the lanterns. Very touristy place and very real. Very picturesque place. Hoi An is a world heritage site, as it is a well preserved ancient village and trading port.
Also Hoi An has a nice beach.Read more

Motorbiked to My Son. Took about 2 hours to get there instead of one because we had tip ask for directions so many times :D but we made it! Amazing old ruins that were unfortunately damaged by American bombing during the war. Worth going to see!

I wish Canada had these plants: https://youtu.be/r2PfmMdgvH8Read more

Rode motor bike to Da Nang today, nice ride, stopped at marble mountain on the way. Awesome place: a papa built inside caves in a small mountain thingy and you can climb to the top through the caves!

After arriving at Da Nang we took a motorbike ride up the mountain by the huge Buddha for a spectacular view of the city. Also the ride up was half the fun!Read more

Floating Markets: http://youtu.be/bUXcWQVCxk8

This morning we woke at 5:00 to take an early boat to the floating market 50 minutes down river. Apparently in Vietnam you can buy food anywhere, so as we were on our way a food boat full of snacks and drinks pushed up against ours and I bought coffee. The market was busy already when we arrived there, boats full of flowers, watermellons, other fresh fruits and vegetables, advertising their product on poles attached verically on their bows. Our boat driver skillfully wove her way through the crowd of vessels, sometimes bouncing off the others. Traffic jams, thats another thing that you can find anywhere in Vietnam 😄Read more

On the sleeping bus, which has reclining seats :)! They feel like space pods or something.
Oh there's one thing I wanted to mention about the Vietnamese that I find funny. As far as I know they're the only people who wear winter clothes in 30C temperatures 😄. Doesn't matter how hot it is you will see people wearing sweaters, face masks, long sleeved shirts jeans and sometimes scarves to keep the sun off of them. You can always tell that someone is a foreigner by their lack of clothing xDRead more
Your photos are beautiful! What a stunning country. Thank you
