SCAM ! Beware !

FAKE Thu Giang

Stayed in this Guest house called ''Thu Giang'' in Hanoi, which is a copy of the original one. The one listed in lonely planet is original, Please beware, more info about it in my Hanoi page.

First ever train ride ( excluding MRT )

Night Train

Took my first ever train ride from Vinh to Hanoi, god, 10 hrs...but liked it, haha, though the hard sleeper is not too comfortable.

New Shopping Center in Vientianne

New Shopping center on the way

This new building, really close to the Patuxai in Vientianne, a project by a Singapore Company, looks like a big one, should be opening by end of 2006, and it's near some bus station.

Truck crossing river

Swimming trucky

This truck was crossing the river in Vang Vieng, haha, there's a wooden bridge, but it's meant for human and bikes only, so they've got to be innovative.

Big Bully

loser....

Knowing that i can't beat any of the farangs in Vang Vieng, i decided to give it a go with this kid in the guesthouse, and man, i nearly lost! haha

President Ho Chi Minh's Maseoleum

Ho Chih Minh Maseoleum, Hanoi

I think this is a really nice architecture, or monument if u wanna call it, just looking at it and i'm in awe. It looks really simple, a square building, but i love it.

Beer Lao Dark

First time i came across this beer was in Udomxai, didnt see any of it further up north, but its available in Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang and Vientianne too.

Never really liked dark beers, but this taste really good. Only available in small bottles. Bring em' on!

How come to China? It's not far. I saw you put my country into your list. Your pics are so funny. :)

I would really love to go cambodia..but i can't get a travel mate because everyone is afraid of stepping onto a landmine despite me telling them that the chances of it happening is very little. -_-"

We did a little haul of school supplies and textbooks UP into some of the hilltribes - that was great as well - just the physicality of it all would make me better prepared next time.
