Given that you were born in the Year of the Goat...
I was going to suggest that you rename your blog GoatontheRoad. However, goatsontheroad already has that name. You should get aquainted!

Sunsets
Your pics are awesome.....reminds me of Sihanoukville. I think we should combine forces and create a coffee-table book of sensational Asian sunsets...

Happy belated birthday!
Looks like you had a really nice time - the beach looks lovely there and as you say you now have an excuse to go back to see the things you didn't get around to. We know what you mean, sometimes relaxing just takes over!

Ahh that explains it!
PA and I were wondering why it was so difficult to get hold of you both ;) Anyway, hope you are having a lovely time. The other place, where you can see the sun going down over the sea is the stretch of coast between Rach Gia and Ca Mau.

Hi and I think I need your help please!
Hi Kate and Kris I was just browsing for a bar to watch the rugby worldcup final in Haiphong next Sunday and came upon a link to your blogs. So I ended up reading most of them. You have fallen in love with my country it seems and reading your last entry about Haiphong brought tears to my eyes. I was borned and raised in Haiphong but have left to New Zealand 14 years ago to study and then work. I am in Saigon for a visit and will fly back to Haiphong tomorrow and as you would probably know that the All Blacks are now in the final. It seems ironic for me to ask you if you know any bars in Haiphong that would show the game live next week. My family and friends in Vietnam dont know much about rugby let alone knowing where it'd be showing. So I hope you could help me. And if you two happen to be in New Zealand, dont forget to contact me :) Regards Thanh

Crimdon's looking good nowadays!
Neil remembers when the beach there was so black that the sand looked almost like pure coal! At least it looks like the weather was nice for you and we are very jealous you had fish and chips!

I used to be from Kuching and I remember years ago when they had cat drawing competitions at the old cat museum before they moved it across river. And you used to get these typical 4 year old Asian kids doing incredible masterpieces. The competition was pretty damn stiff. Two balls and six whiskers just didn't cut it as it would for regular 4 year old English kids. Yet despite all that, you're dead right about the cat statues. They could've been so nice, I've always wondered why they suck ass when the city is full of people that can sculpt em real good like. AND THEY MADE SO MANY OF THE BASTARDS!!!! ARGH

Yay!
I hate cockroaches too, and those ratlike lizards are much like what we have here in the Philippines. Lol. they do feed on cockroaches --- a great dinner that one had right in your hut. And yes, I can imagine the noises they make. Yay!

Gili Air is our favourite!, we were there for 5 days and we found it the perfect combination: not as busy as Trewangar and not as quiet as Meno :o) we didn't have trouble with bugs, though!! (that was in Gili Meno)

That's true.
I never considered a rich tea.... Now a good coffee enema sounds all the more believable.

Some photostory!
Laughing while reading and viewing your photos. The depressed monkey is my fav. And thanks for that photostory on the dance. Never quite figured it out myself when I went there in 09. Never tried all that wheat grass and colonic irrigation. Not me. Na ahh.

Little monkeys!
We once had a monkey steal a packet of BBQ hoop crisps from a partially open rucksack, scamper up a tree and open them and sit eating them! They really can be scary especially when they crowd around and go a bit crazy. Luckily as fellow Brits, we too know the danger of rabies and carrying bananas and avoid wherever possible ;) You have to laugh at the wellbeing bullsh*t spouted in Ubud...would be an interesting colonic irrigation with 2 sugars, milk and a Hobnob, but maybe Rich Tea would be better to try as they do dissolve more in tea/coffee? Have fun on the rest of your trip!

Sunderland doing a light show?!
hahaha, the thought of Sunderland doing a light show like Hong Kong had us laughing...can you imagine that? Hong Kong is a great place, like you say a real mix of cultures - gives you a nice taste of home! Great pics, we have been to HK loads and always forget to take the camera out with us, so we must try harder! Hope you are both ok and still enjoying Vietnam. Donna and Neil x

HAPPY CHRISTMAS
Hi both of you, We enjoyed the blog and photos - thanks. Thought that we would wish you a Happy Christmas & everything you wish for 2011. I am very slowly recovering from the pneumonia but still get exhausted very quickly. Having to limit what I do. It's going to take quite a while for my energy levels to return to normal - having to be patient - not one of my virtues!! We are still planning to host the family get-together on Boxing Day and Claire & Dan are coming for the whole weekend with the little boys. Wish you could be with us. We will think about you anyway. Lots of Love Auntie Lizxxx

I liked your blog...
Great blog which I found as I was researching Hai Phong and trying to get a feel for the place. My husband, Andy and I have to decide if we want him to take up an offer of a job as a civil engineer on the road between Hai Phong and Han Oi. We Are English and have worked overseas quite a few times...Tanzania, Hong Kong, Dubai, Malawi and if you call them 'overseas', Wales and at present the Irish Republic, so we are fairly experienced expatriates. We are possibly en route for Hai Phong in the New Year and so are wondering if you are able to help us with a few questions. Seemingly there doesn't seem to be much accommodation in Hai Phong unlike Han Oi...but as we will be on section 1O of the road, Hai Phong is where we will need to be...do you have any advice? Also, I am taking quite a few different tablets for a medical condition, how easy might it be to obtain these in Vietnam? And...Andy says 'are there any squash courts in Hai Phong and can he play tennis at the hotels?' Many thanks and look forward to meeting you both if we make it to Hai Phong! Best wishes, Carol.

I have just read through all of your adventures. Amazingly epic! I suggest investing in some ear plugs though? ;) Thanks for the suggestions for Vietnam. Wishing you many more happy travels, Michala

I really enjoyed this blog!
Hello Kris I am hoping to go to Cambodia, maybe next year, and this blog has made me want to go more than ever. I know where to buy some books about Pol Pot regime in Bangkok,(I saw a stand selling them in English, last time I was there), where I will likely fly into, so am going to take probably as much interest in it as you do. To the annoyance of many, I take an interest in human rights issues, and bring them up when everybody is chilling out and enjoying the beautiful things in life such as hot tropical weather, cold beer and sun sets. :)
