Once checked in we got ready and headed down to the town centre to get some food. Dha Lat is a lot cooler than Ho Chi Minh, I decided on jeans and a jumper. James decided on shorts and t-shirt. It took about an hour for James to say he was freezing. I'm surprised it took that long! We looked around the markets and had a beer in the street food area, sat on children's chairs. The next day we got up early and hired a couple of mopeds. After half an hour James' br...

The first day was spent exploring the city. Our hotel was in backpackers central, so there was loads of things to do and people to meet. We decided to book our transport all the way through Vietnam. We booked an open bus ticket that stops off at 5 major cities for $40. We have to use it within a month. Since its Chinese New Year at the end of the month and buses will be busy we may have to pay a few dollars more during the silly season which lasts a couple of we...

We arrived and found a local place to eat, then chilled out in the room for the first night. We met Maarit at her hostel as it was her birthday and went to get breakfast. We argued with the tuktuk driver on price for the days hire. Maarit finally went to ask another driver, then the original driver agreed to our price of $12 to take us anywhere. We headed to the killing fields first, where 17,000 people were killed, safe to say it was a morbid experience. We the...

We're only in Battambang for a short while so this will be a small post. The first day was spent walking around the city. Considering Battambang is Cambodia's second largest city it only took us half an hour to walk round it. We found somewhere to eat, Cambodia is the cheapest country we've been too. £2 for a nice meal and about the same for somewhere to sleep. They use both Riels and dollers. 4000 Riels makeup $1. You have to often pay in both currencies whic...

When we got dropped off at the hotel I was starving so took a walk, we found nothing but street food - patio chairs put out the side of the road with a movable kitchen. I ate, James feeling still a bit rough didn't risk it. Although he stole some of mine. The first day in Siem Reap was a bit of a write off as we'd decided not to do much. By 4pm we'd found a street correctly named pub street. We stayed in one bar for a good few hours drinking 25p beer talking to...
