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

Welcome back

Nope.... but glad to have you back any way! For those of us less fortunate any tales of wild adventures or pictures?

Back in time for the start of the heat wave.

I'll have a couple of thousand litres of water please (need to top up the pool and fill the spa)

Have to sort through about 1 zillion photos first...

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.

Bloody insane! It's hotter here than it was in Cambodia or Vietnam. How the hell does that work??

Who are you?

Welcome to the forum



And being as you've got the bar open, I'll just have a quick nightcap before I turn in

Cheers!
