Train to Nha Trang

I believe I havent mentioned that our trip was mainly through the vietnamese coast. This was because we didnt want to catch any illness and because we were hunting the beaches ;)

After the great days spent in Hoi An, my expectations went higher. But after something that has been really really good "you bleed just to know your alive".

Train to Nha Trang


Yes, this is the exact picture of how our train looked like. We were in the top of the beds with our bags and with the same last clothes we wore in Hoi An that day. Comments in the "Lonely Planet" guide said that those top beds are "against" thieves.

A recomendation if you ever plan to take a train in which you plan to stay for the night, MAKE RESERVATIONS!

This was, for me, by far the worst experience of this trip. The smell, the chinese smoking inside the "room" of the wagon, the air conditioner... it was BAD.

Nha Trang is a city famous for its scuba diving and a lot of tourists go there to experiment it. My 3 other tripmates compared it to Benidorm in Spain.

We didnt find many spectacular things to see here, so we decided to go for our next stop... Mui Ne!

Wow, that's tough! Are you sure the proper word to refer to such accomodation is "bed"? ;-D

Hummm... not sure yet? The "look at my profile picture" suggestion usually works fine.

My nickname should help. Have you tried using acronyms?

For you this is a piece of cake!

Moving, all the people moving

When I think of the word "moving", a song comes to my mind ( Moving - Macaco). This "green peace" song was thought to be a call to action for all of those who felt some sort of compromise with the environment. Yes, because we all know that the trend initiated a few years from now is to show off our "cruel intentions" to help this cause. Anyway, the reason why this song comes to my mind is that I am in process of moving! And I truly and deeply hate moving. It is like the 2 faces of a coin (Heads or trails). In one side the excitement of going to a new place, having even more independence, choosing your roomates, have a decoration of your taste, new neighbors, etc & in the other side the turn off of picking up everything, boxes, cleaning, stress... Thank God I will be just crossing the street!!! From the 16 to the 15.

"Tripmates"

One day my co-worker (H.C.) said that a friend of hers was organizing a trip to some exotic and far off destination. She asked to the people around her if someone was interested, and at that moment I didn't pay much attention to her what she was saying. At the time I was in an emotional state of mind, I looked over the proposed trip itinerary and said "Im in!". 2 strangers, my co-worker and I ventured off on a 17 day trip to Vietnam , Shanghai and Hong Kong , even though some other destinations were considered, such as Malaysia, many cities in China, Thailand and Macau. The chosen route was very exciting and in my following posts I will describe my experience in each of the locations we visited and the things we discovered. Today.. The "tripmates".. H.C., a 25 year old girl, lively, always positive, talkative, social, and has the ability to enjoy everything despite of whether is good or bad. She has white skin, brown eyes, straight hair and she is Spanish (...
