Mar 1, 2010 - Kratie en Ban Lung
We zitten nu in Laos, en het internet en computers zijn nog slechter dan in Cambodja dus kunnen de foto's er nu helaas niet opzetten. 2 Maart stappen we in de minibus naar Ban Lung (Noord Cambodja). ...

4>Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon (they use Saigon to refer to the city centre) is amazing, personally its my favourite place yet, the atmosphere is amazing, its buzzing with energy, everyone is always rushing about, with smiles on their faces.4>Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon (they use Saigon to refer to the city centre) is amazing, personally its my favourite place yet, the atmosphere is amazing, its buzzing with energy, everyone is always rushing about, with smiles on their faces....
