Today will be our last day in our South East Asia travels. Right now I am in Hanoi, awaiting this evening, when we will be flying away to Tokyo, Japan.
Since last post, I have met locals in a un-guidebook-mentioned city, traveled quite the ways, and left the beautiful country of Laos (that's a bit out of order). Also in our journeys, we experienced a VERY tiring three day tour that involved SO much cycling, some treking, kayaking, staying in a village, and riding an elephant! I was quite happy to hear that the elephants we were riding were rescued from dangerous logging, and now enjoy their days carting around tourists while having the evenings to freely roam the jungle - happy elephants! Being in the villages was kind of weird, kind of good. I felt super out of place, but it was great to see the way of life there.
Travels have been good so far, and I am happy to be headed to Tokyo as it will be a very different scene, I am sure. So farewell Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia - its been nothing but great experiences. To the night buses, the villages, the fish oil smell, the buddhas, the temples, the woman yelling "hey LAYDEE", the selling, the buying, the street food, the roaches, the art, the noodles, the rice, the history, the beer Lao, the good and the bad, and everything else - goodbye for now.
