Cambodia

My camera got wet so it died, surprisingly enough. It's possible to fix it but I never stay in one place long enough to do so. That means Vietnam part 2 has to wait. Atm I'm in Siem Reap, came here to see Angkor Wat and tomorrow morning I'm leaving for Thailand and Koh Chang! Wish I could spend more time in Cambodia but I'll just have to come back some other time. Entered Cambodia by boat on the Mekong River and I can just say this, it was beautiful! Have also been to the Killing Fields outside Phnom Phen, and learned a lot about Cambodian history and the Khmer Rouge and all that. The whole thing is totally crazy and horrible and I can't believe I've never heard anything about it in school. But it is really interesting and I would like to read some more about it when I get home.

Well anyway, I'm gonna try to get my camera fixed somewhere as soon as possible because it really sucks being without. Wish me luck. :)

Vietnam Part 1

I'm in Saigon at the moment, my last stop in Vietnam before I cross the border to Cambodia. My two weeks in Vietnam has been great (off course). Went to Halong Bay from Hanoi and was really excited about that, but the weather wasn't that good and basically I think the whole thing is kinda overrated. Then I went back to Hanoi for a couple of nights, did some sightseeing and shopping. Went to the Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minhs Mausoleum and some pagodas and stuff. Next stop on the route was Hue. Didn't really do much in Hue, but stopped at the DMZ on our way there, which is the border between north and south of Vietnam. Went to the war museum and walked around in the tunnels where they hid during the war. Really, really interesting stuff.:)Stayed in Hue two days, and THEN we rented motorbikes and began our journey to Hoi An. They said it was a six hour drive, we used ten but it was such a great experience! We stopped several times and even got invited into some guy's home when the rain started pouring down. We drove the Top Gear route and it was so beautiful and amazing and I can totally recommend it! So this is Vietnam Part One, will show you the rest soon. :)
