After getting picked up by a mini bus with an extremely grumpy bossy cow of a coordinater dishing out our train tickets, I take a seat on the familiar mini plastic stools to await my night train to Sapa.

A fashion designer for 7 years and it's all I've ever done - I love my job, I really do... I get to draw T-shirts for a living (though it's far more complicated and stressful than that!) I see people wearing my stuff on the street, I get to travel to amazing places round the world - hell I get paid to go shopping in LA twice a year...and that's just one of the 8 places I visited with work last year... But that's just it... It's work... And as much as it's satisfied my appetite for travel a little while, there's still this desire.. This NEED to see the world... Go travelling.. Like PROPER trave... full info

In addition to the "no pets on plates" rule you need to add...
no slithery or crawly thing on plates. Gross! Otherwise, I have enjoyed the blogs of your travels around Southeast Asia. So are you headed directly to South America or are you stopping along the way; e.g., Australia and New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands?

Yorkshire Tea in Sapa, Vietnam
Hey Tina International, I'm that "British guy" brandishing his box of Yorkshire Tea with pride! Great blog. Really enjoyed reading and I will share it with our supporters. The place where you can have a proper cuppa in Vietnam is called 'Sapa O'Chau Cafe' - www.sapaochau.org It's a community project run by the ethnic minority hill tribes themselves (I work for them!) We organise volunteer work, authentic trekking & homestays, and of course, great teas and coffees. Safe travels, Peter
