We had a fantastic and fruitful trip to Vietnam and Cambodia over the holidays. Three weeks is just long enough to make you realize you have to stay in a place much longer to know anything about it. It's also long enough to forget all of the Japanese you learned before you left.
Those things aside, it was absolutely spectacular. Some highlights:
1. Vietnamese food! So wonderful it merits it's own post.
2. experiencing just a taste of the 'real' Saigon
3. the color green. Vietnam has the most lush landscape my eyes have encountered
4. French-colonial inspired, Vietnam-ized architecture
5. our week at an extraordinarily isolated and beautiful beach resort (novels read: 3)
6. the unmatched kindness of the Cambodian people
7. overland transport (assorted long-distance buses, taxis, soft-seat trains, boats and tuk tuks)
8. fresh coconut
