Hey all,
Just got back from 10 days in Cambodia / Vietnam - freakin' excellent holiday with Mrs. Viking.
Did the temple-thing at Angkor Wat (photos do not do that place justice at all!) and survived the traffic in Hanoi (2 lanes of road, up to 5 lanes of traffic).
Seeing how we took _way_ too much spending money over there, the tab's on me.
I'll start with an Angkor draught.
Cheers,
Viking

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
Have to sort through about 1 zillion photos first...HisNibbs wrote:For those of us less fortunate any tales of wild adventures or pictures?
Nothing too exciting, although I do not recommend driving in Vietnam - they are all utterly mental!
If you wait for a gap in the traffic when you want to cross the street, you'll die of old age. So you wait until there aren't too many cars around then simply walk across whilst keeping a steady pace. Don't run, don't stop, and they all just flow around you. Scary as all hell the first time you do it.
Food and beer is insanely cheap in Cambodia. Dinner for 4 (6 courses) with 5 rounds of beer came to US$24. Vietnam is not much more expensive - a flash dinner for two came to US$12.50. A bowl of pho (beef noodle soup) was 2000 dong - about AU$0.20 and a cheap beer (Boi Hai) was 3000 dong.
