Just as planned, I spent my time on Langkawi mainly chilling. The first full day there, I enjoyed the beach, walked past some shops, hoping I could find some souvenirs (buying souvenirs is way harder than you think) and didn…

So, then I was on the Cameron Highlands. I woke up way too late, so I missed the breakfast (it wasn’t included either way, so luckily I didn’t miss out on free stuff). I was hungry, so I had to improvise. Luckily, the city…
I slept in a cave

I spent my last night in Vietnam close to the airport, because the airport in Hanoi is quite a bit out of the city, and I had to take an early morning flight (and the shuttle service didn’t start until after I wanted to be…
I spoke Dutch way too often

The past week (almost weekS by now) I had Dutchies around me pretty much the entire time. Horrible :p. Dutchies in the hostels, in the bus, on the road, everywhere. The Netherlands is not too big, but somehow they’re every…
The real Vietnam

After my day of chilling, it was time for some action. Every morning, the hostel hosted a ‘cave talk’, where they’d give out information on the caves and how best to go around. During the talk, I met some Dutchies who had …
I love the people here!

And then I was suddenly about halfway through my Vietnam trip! Time moves so same quickly here…. Judging by the experiences, I could’ve easily been in Vietnam for well over a month, but because I’ve been rather busy, I’v…
I ate crickets and rat

After we (Dave (Irishman), Sabrina and Luisa (Germans), the people I met on the bus to Da Lat) had breakfast, we rented a moto right away, and went to explore Da Lat. The nice hostel lady showed where we could go on …
Goodnight Saigon

At night I took the sleeper bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). For a change I didn’t fit in the bed (of course), but I survived. Halfway through, when we arrived at the border, it was a bit of a hassle…
Bye Cambodia!

As promised, after the last update, I dug up my jacket from my backpack, and went and walked through the city of Kampot. I was getting tired of playing card games and sitting inside the hostel for the entire day. They’ve got…
The raining season has started

There I was. Woke up in Thailand, but around 2PM I was in Cambodia already. At the airport I had to arrange my visa, otherwise they wouldn’t allow me in, and after grabbing my baggage from the belt, it was time to make a p…
