http://www.blogabond.com/TripView.aspx?TripID=5715 4 week trip around Vietnam and Cambodia en-US Copyright © 2026, Janicka daily 1 1 I thought one day in Bangkok will prepare us for Vietnam. Mistake. Thailand is much more civilized and more like Europe. The Hanoi airport is like poor shabby little place in comparison to Bangkok airport.
I must admit on the way from the airport I just stared with my mouth open. I have never seen so many motorbikes (with so many people on them for that matter - a family of five or about 500 chicken???!!!) or heared so much noice. The traffic here is unbelievable, wait for the pictures. Don t know why they bother installing the traffic lights! We thought we would get killed while crossing the streets but we are used to it now. It seems safe enough.
So far we have seen the Hoam Kiem Lake with the pagoda and the watter puppet theater. ]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.blogabond.com/TripView.aspx?tripID=5715 http://www.blogabond.com/CommentView.aspx?commentID=53603 0 21.0333333 105.85
TraineesThere we were, coming back home from a weekend trip to Vienna with my colleagues, thinking which European city would be next to visit. Amsterdam, Rome...And then we suddenly knew - it was going to be Vietnam. I know, sounds random...so let me make it clear. One of our group is a Vietnamese...None of us had ever been to Asia, we had heared very interesting stories so the choice was obvious, really.
To be honest, at the beginning I didn't actually believe it was going to happen. I mean, everybody was excited by the idea. But I knew most people would drop out. And they did. So in the end, the Vietnamese friend isn't going and out of six people, we are only three left. But another person joined so there are four of us.
We have our flight tickets, visas and vaccination and so we are almost ready to get going :)]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.blogabond.com/TripView.aspx?tripID=5715 http://www.blogabond.com/CommentView.aspx?commentID=48949 0 48.2 16.3666667 By the way Munich airport is a completely non-smoking area with very few shops that close around nine and therefore very boring.
By ten we were up in the air. The flight took about 6 hrs and wasn't too bad. I couldn't fall asleep however although I managed to drink a couple of glasses of wine so I watched some films and bothered people around me :) Then we sort of forgot to return the blankets (we don't have sleeping bags with up, that's why) and got off in Dubai.]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.blogabond.com/TripView.aspx?tripID=5715 http://www.blogabond.com/CommentView.aspx?commentID=48922 0 48.15 11.5833333 So, here we go. We are leaving our home town ...well, not home town for all of us, for some it is just the city where they currently live :) ...anway, we are heading for Munich to catch our firs plane on this trip. All of us in one small car...let's hope we get there ok.]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.blogabond.com/TripView.aspx?tripID=5715 http://www.blogabond.com/CommentView.aspx?commentID=48921 0 50.0833333 14.4666667
