157. Southeast Asian Travel Tales A five month travel experience through Southeast Asia including, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar. http://traveltales.galeon.com/

The East is calling... In 1999 we finally made a dream come true: We packed our backpacks and went off to explore Southeast Asia for almost five months. We had done a lot of planning and sketched a route that included Beijing, Honkong, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and -if time permitted- Burma. Sylvia had quit her job and Oliver had talked his company into unpaid holidays. We left Germany on November 3rd and flew to Beijing . We remained two weeks in China's capital with the exception of a two day side trip to Xi-An. Winter had already set in and it was freezing cold. We continued to Hongkong , stayed five days and tried to find something like the magic of the place between shopping centers and construction sites. It was there that we learnt that Vietnam , our next destination was suffering from heavy floods that made travelling risky if not impossible. Fortunately the situation improved before our flight from Hongkong to Hanoi was due. Vietnam's capital captured us from the start and so did Halong Bay. We continued South by bus, but when we reached central Vietnam heavy rain set in and new the floods forced us to fly directly to Saigon. A visit to the Mekong Delta was another highlight. Cambodia had not been on our list initially, but in Saigon we were tempted by a 6 USD offer for a bus trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh. The border crossing itself was adventurous. In Phnom Penh the striking poverty hit us in the face and after a visit to Tuol Sleng Holocaust Museum we left the city with mixed feelings. We went to Siam Reap by speed boat on the Tonle Sap and visited the magnificent ruins of Angkor. Then we returned to Phnom Penh and caught a flight to Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand.
