Saigon is an old name of what is known now as Ho Chi Minh City. It was named after the leader of Vietnam’s Communist Party and later the country’s president – Ho Chi Minh. Our first day was lazy with some rest and sightseeing. Saigon has a lot of small streets with tiny restaurants, neons […]
Long, long time ago, so around mid-October we visited Sukamade. We wrote about it here. There was also a movie and it looks like it is high time to release it.
A time has come to cross a border once again. Vietnam we are coming. The trick was that we equipped ourselves with eVisas to avoid border scams and agency fees and not every crossing accepted them. The closest one to us did not. The next one neither but we did not fancy another 8 hours […]
I was going to Cambodia with a perception of a poor country with no hope. A country beaten by genocide and US bombs during Vietnam war and the civil war afterwards. A country where shooting ended less than 20 years ago and there are still no-go zones, where a wrong step is a step on […]
When going to Cambodia I had no idea how sad and at the same time interesting is the history of this country. This story partially explains why this place is so poor. In will give it a try and share with you. In 1975, after a civil war, the Khmer Rouge party seized power in […]
Travelling is easier than I thought. First of all, the Internet is everywhere – you buy a local SIM and even is most god-forgotten places, which were supposed to be calm, quiet and with no electricity you have access, You can check the map, book accommodation, buy tickets or even have a conversation in local […]
I am still planning to write about how Cambodia is difficult for me. Yet so far, it is time for Angkor – the main tourist attraction and the crowds of people visting it every day. Despite this, it is amazing and magical. For me one of highlights of our trip. Many, many photos and this […]
Of all the big cities we visited so far, I felt best in Bangkok. Not as chaotic as Kuala Lumpur ot sterile as Singapore. I like the way the river is integrated into the city (although I like less the trash in it). Our first visit was short, as we were running out of 30-day […]
We finally decided to start processing these gigabytes of videos on our hard drive into something an ordinary viewer could digest. Let’s be honest, 3 hours of diving footage may be interesting if you want to sleep but no one can handle watching all of this. In the process we learned a lot about filming […]
After leaving the Devil’s den of Phuket we moved on to its extension on continental Thailand – Khao Lak. It is more of Polish Jurata than Wladyslawowo but is a stall fashion show and a bazaar. Still Khao Lak is the starting point to visit Similan Islands – another Sea National Park and supposedly Thailand’s […]
