Big fun in the big city!
Excellent entry. Brought back many memories for me. It always amazed me that the 'land of smiles,' with such sweet people had a national sport that regularly required on the spot life saving techniques. Enough blood for all! Stay safe!

Cambodge
Stunning photos, J!

Whoo-hoo!
Hi Johaan: We got your postcard today including the photo on elephant-back at the Golden Triangle in Thailand. So glad you guys enjoyed the experience! Can't wait to hear more about your adventures. We love looking at your blog photos. Enjoy the rest of your travels. Karen and Jeremy

Hungry for spiders
Truly a land of contrasts. Amazing how warm some people can be to a complete stranger and how utterly attrocious some can be to their own countrymen. Travel well!

Epic Adventure
Awesome pics. I can't believe they let you fire an automatic weapon

Great life of a teacher traveler. Enjoyed reading your blog.

Eunuchs hanging with kings?
Love GoT stuff in here. We need more on the eventful birthday night you must have had.

Lovin' it!
Keep your blog posts comin', Johaan. I am thoroughly enjoying your 'reads'. Just back from the UK. Pretty exhausted, but in a good way. Disfruta de tu estancia en Asia. Hasta luego, P.

Thanks for the memories
Hey Johaan, Thanks for the memories! We first traveled to Saigon (aka HCMC) then up the Mekong River system via boat to Cambodia (PP and Angkor Wat) in 2007. We then returned to explore the central highlands, HaNoi and HaLong Bay, and UNESCO site Luang Prahbang, in PDR Lao in 2009. In February 2013, we go to Burma (Myanmar). And unlike you, I do love Pho for breakfast! Thank you for sharing your travel log. I'm so glad I am on your list of recipients. Happy travels, Ann Lippincott

pretty damm cool

I like Chile..
Your article is very interesting.I'm Ecuadorian, I went to Chile in 2004. I would like some pictures of "Cafe con Piernas", I imagine that decoration is very original jejeje...For the next time, you should try the typical drink the name is "Pisco sour" or something like that. It has sweet and acid taste at the same time, Pico sour is prepare with Pisco, this is typical wine in Chile. It is delicious and I can recommend for everybody.I took a city tour from Santiago to Valparaiso,and Vina del Mar, it is incredible to see the grapes farm around the road.I walked around the beach in Vina,this place is very quiet during the day, well I went in August,that time is very cold because there is a winter season overthere. Also, I saw a big sealions close at the beach of Vina,I ate a deliciuos fish call cangriu o something like that.It was delicious in the restaurant with sight to the beach, now remember that place, and I'm hungry.......I will to travel one more time because Chile has different things to know it
