A stroll by the parliament of Hungary, hands down the most beautiful political building we’ve seen. They have gilded personal cigarette holders inside! Fancy. Also, watch on for some other monuments that basically represent a snapshot of Eastern Europe today )
Off to Pamukkale, checking out an RV park, water slides, and tourist trap of restaurants in this tiny village profiting off the travertines.
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….
Enroute to Kyoto, escaping typhoon and, once again, on a ferry.
