We just passed through Ho Chi Minh City on our way back to Manila. Coming from a long 14-hour bus ride from Siem Reap, with a short stopover in Phnom Penh, the sights and sounds of HCMC was a big change from the quiet surroundings […]

Siem Reap was the other major country in our two-week Indochina trip which we really looked forward to in visiting. Not having been to famous Angkor Wat before, I was often advised by friends who have been there that I should wear comfortable clothing as […]
