First impressions are so important! I remember my arrival in Cambodja was amazing, and so was the month I spent there.
I do hope my arrival in Vietnam doesn’t represent the whole trip.. I arrived in Ho Chi Mhin two days ago. It took me the whole five seconds to decide I didn’t want to stay there(very busy big city).
So after a 12-hour bus I took another 9-hour bus to arrive in Nha Trang yesterday morning, to realise it was pouring down here. Ahhh ok apparently raining season here means RAINING season. So far I just had some heavy rains during the night, so that was fine. But here its just the whole day, and everyone looks kinda depressed. So tonight I’m taking the bus to Hoi An. Apparently the weather is the same there, but it will get better once I’m the North.
So tomorrow I will have been in Vietnam for three days, and ill have already crossed halve of the country, looking for a nice city and good weather conditions.
I think I’m just getting very spoiled. After Phnom Phen and Siem Reap I’m not settling down for less. I know what I’m looking for. And if it is not that, ill just move on. I know I should give it some more time sometimes. But by know I’ve seen a couple of cities and I just trust my instinct, which is not the same as a first impression.
4augustus is het weer zover! Na zes maandjes werken is de spaarpot weer goed gevuld, dus we zijn er weer van door. Deze keer richting Zuid-Oost Azië. Echt een route heb ik nog niet echt (like always) maar denk dat het er zo beetje gaat uitzien: Thailand, Maleisië, Indonesië, dan terug naar Bangkok om door te reizen naar Vietnam, Laos en Cambodja. Tot later!
