Act III covers the last leg of Vietnam before heading to Cambodia. But first we checked out the fabled (and feared) Cu Chi Tunnels. Much like Hanoi, motorbikes were everywhere. The stop lights actually worked there however. Bonus: Pool party at the Cambodian embassy!

After a rather extended intermission here is the long awaited Act II of my three weeks journey through Vietnam and Cambodia. When we last left this adventure I was returning from a trip in northern Vietnam. Now I’m headed to the coastal region of Halong Bay.

Part I of a three week long vacation to Vietnam and Cambodia between my semesters teaching. The mountainous part of northern Vietnam is an area of natural beauty and culture. Me and my companions spent three days there trekking through the valley. Buffaloes, cute Asian children, and rice whiskey were all part of it.
