hey guys!! got miss me norrttt? haha in Hanoi now. arrived yday from Laos, after some errr not so pleasant experiences at the border cos we nearly couldnt make it here man. apprarently singaporeans dun need a visa to travel to vietnam but we need to produce a ticket out of vietnam within 30 days cos they dun wan us to overstay kinda thing. my frens and i only had air tix to Laos and out from Cambodia, along the way we intended to travel by bus from Laos to Vietnam and Vietnam to Cambodia. sooooo bobiannnn we had to travel from the border all the way back on a 3 hr songtheaw ride back to the nearest village from the border and stay for another 2 days. thankfully there was DIALUP internet available and we managed to get air tix out from hanoi to bangkok (we're not even gonna use them!) for US 52!! diaooo righttt yes i knoww.. but after crossing the border to vietnam, we realised the immigrations officers dun really check the eticket that thoroughly so next time gonna just fake a ticket!! we were kinda in distress initially cos this delay meant we had less time for vietnam and cambodia but oh well, its part of the experience i guess. we just cant seem to get things done the easy way. we're always damn suay to kena this kinda things, my fren lose her camera on the 2nd day in Laos and we headed to S'pore embassy in Vientiane to make a report for insurance claim cos the police offices and tourist offices close at like 4pm and they just refer us from one place to anotherrr.. where to findddd.. we even spoke to the Singapore ambassador there la. made our presence felt in Spore embassy in Hanoi also cos of the border incident. so many other horror stories man! but of course along the way we met alot of gui ren also.. strangers who give us lifts, fellow backpackers from this super handsome guy called Eduador from Chile, Thomas from Austria, a super good looking couple from Germany, a fotojournalist from Britain and loads more! and we only arrived in Vietnam! so many more stories to tell u guys!! ok gtg now for breakfast.. can smell the fried maggots at the roadside liaoo.. cya after 5 june and take care man!

I totally agree with teh! As i said, hope amendi can lead us in a backpacking trip as to that we are able to see the world she sees! Let's look at the whole world in another perspective and perhaps we will be able to find another meaning in life!
