We spent quite a lot of time in Vientiane, as we got stuck waiting for our visas to Myanmar. We got there on Thursday afternoon, so on Friday early in the morning we rented two bicycles and went to the embassy. It turned out, though, that there was some holiday and the embassy was closed, which meant for us that ...

They say that Luang Prabang is a city of temples, the most beautiful place in Laos, and a backpacker’s mecca. And it’s all true, but I would also add two things: the city of delicious sandwiches and the night market. I will start from the end. The first afternoon, when we went for a walk and dinner, we were surprised ...

Even in the guide you will find that the main attraction of this town is a walk through the bridge and admiring the wooden houses along the river. We went there with an intention of resting (not that we were very tired after Muang Ngoi), working on the blog and getting some cash, as in the previous village there was ...

A village with practically one road, although it’s hard to call it a road. It more of a wide path, not paved, not even with some gravel. But they don’t need a road, as the village is not connected with any other city. You can get here only by boat. It’s a peace oasis, a place that hasn’t changed much ...

Sa Pa has three different faces to me. Three images, that mixed together made Sa Pa my favorite place in Vietnam and maybe even in the whole south-east Asia. The first one is not very positive. It’s a town that is under construction, not pretty and not uniform. A town that got an unexpected influx of money, but doesn’t know ...

Hanoi is a vibrant city full of energy. There’s a constant bustle and thousands of motorbikes everywhere. They run against the traffic with no problem at all and always without helmets. The streets are full with stores of all kind. Stores selling coffee, travel agencies, cheap clothes stores, restaurants, bars and so on. Street food sellers occupy the sidewalks that ...

After six days spent in the wonderful Hoi An, probably every city would disappoint us. Or maybe I was expecting too much. Going there I was imagining all this places I read about: the old capital, the emperor citadel, forbidden city, perfume river. All this names seemed mysterious, mythic and exciting. I thought I will see magnificent palaces, huge colorful ...

I already wrote about how much I love Hoi an here, however, I thought it’s worth to write also a practical guide from this town. I won’t write about the history, because I’m not an expert, but I think it’s good to read about it at least a bit in a guide or in the internet to understand its importance ...

It was love at first sight. The shabby blue and yellow walls, old wooden houses of Chinese merchants, colorful lanterns, small shops, proximity to a beautiful beach and a quiet countryside. I knew it would be pretty, as everybody praise this town. But still, I didn’t know it will be that gorgeous. We had crossed already half of Vietnam. Until ...

First day We get to a small bus full of tourists. There are only two places left, one next to the driver, and the other one on the back. The bus jumps on the holes, rocking me to sleep. Suddenly our new guide calls me and tells me to get out. Only me and Renato. We stop by a highway, ...
