So after my winter camp, I was busy scampering around southeast Asia for a bit more than three weeks. We went to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and I can honestly say that it was the most amazing experience of my life. Let's recap:
Countries: 3
Days: 23
Travelers: 4
Distance travelled: 9,934 km (for Americans, 6,203 miles)
Average temperature during vacation in SEA: 95*F
Average temperature during vacation in Korea: 10*F
Scheduled flights: 4
Unexpected flights: 2
Ridiculously long bus rides: 3
Overnight trains: 2
Cruises: 1
Vehicles which broke down on us: 4
Buddhist monks: hundreds, but still not enough
Times I freaked out after seeing a monk: hundreds, but still not enough
Pounds gained: 4
Pounds I regret gaining: 0
Tarantulas I saw: 3 too many
Number of hotels: 9
New bags I had to buy because I bought too much random stuff: 1
Thai fisherman pants: 2
Harem pants: 2
Cheesy tourist shirts: 4
Pad Thais consumed: 9
Hours spent in the Beijing airport: 10
Elephants ridden: 1
Peices of clothes I got tailor made: 3
Pairs of shoes I got tailor made: 3
Price of all clothes + shoes: $200
Red Zao (Vietnamese minority tribe) outfits purchased: 1
Fire shows where the performer's clothes caught on fire: 2
Sunrises watched: 2
Price for the entire trip: priceless (love you Mastercard)
While the trip was absolutely amazing, Cambodia blew both Vietnam and Thailand right out of the water. I'll write about each country later (in order of which I liked the most) and I'll have pictures too, but I just thought I'd whet your appetitive!
Love you
