I've been trying to work out what to do next...

So, since my last post I've been to Chiang Mai (nice), Koh Samui (a bit too Kuta-ish, but I met up with Anna, which was great), Phnom Penh (Anna was there too, and the place grew on me after a while), Siem Reap (Angkor Wat etc. - good but overrated) and now Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in Vietnam.

Safely cocooned in my protective shell of a t-shirt and shorts, I hang on to the back of a tiny scooter as we flip out the the left to see past the truck in front, and back in to the right in time to evade the pick-up coming the other way. I consider asking the driver to slow down a little, but he's on the phone.

Tubing - floating down the river on a tractor-tyre inner-tube - is the must-do-iest activity in Vang Viang.

The bus had clearly been designed with more concern for ground clearance than ease of access - it stood much higher on its wheels than a typical 4-wheel-drive off-roader.

Where's Anthony?
