With two friends I know from Leipzig, who are in Vietnam at the moment, too, I celebrated my 29th birthday :) We went to a nice Café with a Vietnamese - American concert.
The next day I enjoyed my birthday present from Ali: All-you-can-eat Japanese, BBQ, Hot-Pot, European and dessert. I'm still full!Les mer

Halong Bay
12. oktober 2015, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
We booked a two day/ one night tour to Halong Bay. Because we didn't care about Tai Chi in the morning nor cooking classes, we chose the cheapest tour package, which was marked as "not good tour" [sic] on the receipt. Anyway I really enjoyed the cruise, the beautiful view, food and our room on the boat. We even could visit a big cave, which would be even more impressive without the coulourful lights everywhere ;)Les mer

22. oktober 2015, Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Mue Ne is a long long road between two villages filled with hotels, restaurants, travel agencies and not much more. But there are some things to do. We walked around the massive Red Sand Dunes and followed the cool stream along the Fairy Tale Canyon. The rest of the time we just relaxed at the beach or pool ;)Les mer

Our first stop in Cambodia was in the capital Phnom Penh. We stayed here for 3 days with our couchsurfing host Ryan from the US. For food, we went to a restaurant, cooked at home and also ordered pizza ;)
Besides some sightseeing, we spent a lot of time in a Japanese Shopping Mall because of the high temperatures. One day they offered a free hairstyling session. After trying for 40 minuites to put my hair into curls, the stylist gave up and offered to make me two braids ;)Les mer

Udon Thani
14. november 2015, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Just a short overnight stop one hour after we passed the border to Thailand. It has a huge shopping mall and has a night-market that is at least the same size. I've seen the first christmas tree for this year! They are quite early here in Udon Thani and the more than 30 degrees doesn't help for more christmas feeling ;)
We decided to stay another day to visit a Chinese temple at a lake and a Book-Festival, where many Cospayers attended :)Les mer

We hitchhiked to here from Udonthani. For around the 500km journey, it took us 6 different cars and 11 hours. We even got a ride on the back of a pick-up truck. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Some even tried to stop the next car for us :)
In Phitsanulok we arrived late, so we just got some soup and went to bed to go on hitchhiking the next day.Les mer
