The only thing is when I got out of the airport and searched for my name NADA I was getting a bit worried slash pissed since I didn http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/National-Capital-Territory/New-Delhi/blog-423002.html After some breaky we got showered up and decided to go watch a movie. Finally saw Transformers 2 a really nice movie especially when you have the theatre all to you self for 80b 2.67. After Transformers we did some window shopping I found some Ed Hardy shirts that I was thinking of getting but they were a bit expensive at 4. After shopping we headed back to Khao San and grabbed some street f http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-420044.html The next morning I set out in search of a guesthouse near the beach Resort after resort there was no luck everything was full for the full moon. After an exhaustive search I gave up and ended up catching a cab to meet Petra at the ferry station. Introducing Petra I met Petra 2 years ago during my French immersion course at University of Victoria BC. It was random how we met each other 2 year http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/South-West-Thailand/Ko-Pha-Ngan/blog-420043.html So I arrived into Chiang Mai around 6am well exhausted after the bus drops us off at their guesthouse which isnrsquot too bad 300 baht for a room with hot shower... the only thing is it didnrsquot come with any outlets. After a long nap I woke up and wandered around Chiang Mai the city itself is moated on all 4 sides which is cool I grabbed a quick vegan meal at this restaurant with free wif http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/North-West-Thailand/Chiang-Mai/blog-417609.html So after a short but reflective time in Phnom Penh I headed to Siem Reap the gateway to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is the worldrsquos largest religious site. Itrsquos basically a lot of stone temples spread over quite a distance. The temples themselves are amazing and truly a must see.When I got into town I grabbed a bite to eat and went straight to bed I had to wake up at 5am for sunrise. At mi http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Cambodia/North/Angkor/blog-417601.html After my flight I headed into Saigon for one more night again attempted to finish my marketing project with no avail. The room we stayed at last time was booked so after some lunch I decided to check out this place the waitress was telling me about. I don't know what made me stay but I did the place was however well dodgy and in need of a total reno. I stood their contemplating what I would do t http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Cambodia/South/Phnom-Penh/blog-415354.html So the next day after a bit of a hangover we went for breaky at our typical place you cant go wrong with fresh baguettes and eggs for 1.50. After that I decided to try to do the responsible thing and attempt to finish my marketing report. The girls went out the beach and I stayed in an.... watch HBO LOL.
