1 June 2014 – Hoi An, Vietnam
Wrapping up our week in Hoi An with a bike ride in the countryside, aka the road to the An Bang beach.

The world’s tallest Buddhist carving — the 71-meter Buddha in Leshan, China. Plus a few new friends 🙂
Marooned on a desert island in the Gulf of Island…almost. Rabbit Island is a neat little getaway, only 30 minutes by boat from Kep. There are plenty of huts to rent for a few days. No wifi on the island, which makes for lots of reading, writing, and reflecting time.
Back to the city, back to wifi, warm showers and comfortable beds, back to civilization, back to UlaanBaator.
A motorbike taxi (xe om) is the preferred way of getting around in Vietnam’s cities. We took a xe om in Can Tho at rush hour (a slightly delayed 4 o’clock) 😉 with our CS host Tran.  Thoroughly recommend the experience, should cost about 20,000 dong($1) anywhere in the center for this rush of excitement….
