Hanging out in Tbilisi on the historic day of the country’s signing of an association agreement with the EU. It was pretty unreal – fireworks, concerts, people celebrating everywhere.
Arrived in rainy and definitely cool Dalat, up in the Vietnamese mountains. A quick stop at a bike repair shop before the highlight of our 5 day easy rider tour, a home stay with our guide, Hai’s family (the latter bit unfortunately not featured in the 4 o’clock!)
Enroute to Kyoto, escaping typhoon and, once again, on a ferry.
Did you know that admission to Skydeck at Bitexco tower in Saigon – also known as the tallest building in Vietnam – costs 200,000 dong? Meanwhile, you can enjoy an iced coffee for only (!) 120,000 dong one floor higher (floor 50) at the EON cafe. Or order a beer for 160,000 dong. You know,…
Ah the grocery store! Here we are back in Yangon taking a tour of a grocery story on our last day. To be honest, we should have just walked around, it seems most transactions, including for groceries, is done on the street.
More hiking in Tagong — fjording a river in the snow storm edition.
