Before leaving for this trip I'd planned to blog consistently, but once I left my computer in Thailand and had to spend my internet time in cyber cafe's I said forget that, I'd rather be out doing things.

Quick list of places I've been since my last blog post:

-All over Phuket
-Siem Reap and Angkor Wat
-Battambang
-Phnom Penh
-Sihanoukville (shittttttttttty)
-Kratie
-Ban Lung
-Boat down the Mekong
-Chau Doc
-Rach Gia
-A beautiful vietnam island with no tourists
-Saigon

In 30 minutes we take a taxi to the train station and then a 30 hr train up to Hanoi. From there we visit Halong Bay and then head into Laos.

Overall been a great trip but Cambodia sucks and we ended up spending 1 month there when 10 days was plenty. Got stuck in Cambodia cause of a visa screw up for getting into Vietnam. That sucked. But Vietnam is sweet so far and Laos is supposed to be awesome. We'll end the trip by going to Burma and then back to Phuket. Probably won't blog again till Phuket.

Very cool, Brett. Hope you enjoyed Cambodia at least little, though.

A 30 hour train ride! I am trying to imagine that. You two have hit a lot of places already. Sorry about getting stuck in Cambodia -- but it will soon be a distant memory as you explore Laos and Burma - lucky ducks. Miss you everyday!
