Destination of the Guangxi Viet Nam Viet Nam 1

To Nanning accommodation from the train station 1 km or so of the IRS hotel, triple room 110, 4 room, 120.

Room like Office remodeling, fairly clean, mainly with sun bed clothes. This strong than the big hotels, I do not know if it is usually live in 4, 5-star guest washing of clothing to the hotel, with its own energies, anyway I think that taking jobs, summer clothing myself soon pick up no need then luxury, so there is a place where the clothes that I choose to address important considerations.

In the evening everybody respected Zhongshan Road, in a small stalls to a bowl of delicious small chaos.

And point the oysters 1.5 Yuan/a, screw (do not know the specific name 0.5 Yuan/a), I'm with my son is quite like it. Parents not accustomed to them, but in a more lively restaurant point out some of the dishes 74 $ solve dinner.

After dinner I went to the station ticket office wants to buy 8, back to Shanghai in 1380, was told that the next day as early as 7: 30 to begin selling.

July 2, 6 a.m. got, wash well and finished off to a trolley case hosting, came to stand beside the railway hotel before breakfast.

On the first day with the travel agency of small Qin touch 7: 10 in railway hotel entrance. Eat a good meal, dad go to queue up to buy tickets at the box office, and other small Qin come over good tickets took mom son merging with dad. Wait until 7: 30 start selling tickets, we ranked first, successfully buy no.8 sleeper, to go to the waiting room of Pingxiang, has begun to ticket. We do not worry, anyway, four hours of travel, and do not have much luggage needs seats, drag-and-at the end. At this point, see a 60-year-old woman is at mobi Peter miles off, listened, turned out to be the travel agent has not yet sent the tickets, the old woman eager to death. Then we found the houyiguan is one of the two company Changsha woman, child out to play some good 7 points in the station, etc., but wait for the right and so no one had to make several telephone reminders, last 7: 58: 45 7 car to get the tickets, was booked.

Train nearly 12 points to Pingxiang, outbound, by small Qin said found holding "Viet Nam style tour" brand of the Guide.

Take documents, there is a $ 20 to $ 30, I wonder why there are differences, the moment someone jumped out to protest. A few from Guilin with the group, they have a way with two notes, now a 30 block, while at the Agency, travel agency has repeatedly stated, no mandatory fees. I'm talking about price when said good plus $ 20 for a total of 710 element contains photos, not pointing reinforcement. Finally after arduous negotiations, they are unified 20 photographs.

Eat well team meals less than 13: 00, the guide said to wait until 14: 30 later, going to go through a pass during the period.

This time you can stroll in the town, after all, is listed as life will go 20 small a (also never know who on the basis of what? I don't see what characteristics. ) I had to stop investigations, inquiries to the shuttle, ningming 10 minutes, $ 6 air-conditioned car. I return in Pingxiang away Regiment, ready to see the mural, Huashan ningming so my tour price does not include Pingxiang to Nanning train costs $ 30.

Market edge many fruit, Rambutan seems 2.5 Yuan/kg, bought two pounds, and carry it back, others remind us of the fruit is not good to cross the border, this is so only reminds me of a saying, that grab bars, call everyone together to solve, the taste.

The last three points, the Guide came to us each a small, rely on it and exit.

Get on the bus, tour for everyone to brief the Viet Nam, rubber slippers 3-What is 10 Yuan. If you need to exchange for 1 Yuan, with 1800 Viet Nam shield not finish can return, $ 100 handling fee received 5 blocks, starting from $ 100. We have 100, 200 breaks up, I was ready for 30 dollars, was $ 1, $ 2, small ticket to Pro out of the House, Dad forgot, also had to change a 200 Yuan. In fact, fundamental to the way the Guide to shop with RMB, want to shield with out really hard, but finally back after taking 1 houyiguan: 1900 pulls back, lost 10 to block.

Stay at houyiguan 15 minutes to taking pictures, change money, then queued to GATT.

We are a family of four separate Queuing, the guide said that we are after the Viet Nam with a casual photography, together with the rest of now coming through the door is the whole mission, but I think they come from all corners of a lot of people know each other? until now I didn't really understand. At that time some tension, thought I rest the casual photography has long queues, our four-person last, let people, always psychological sorry.

Our four-person smooth out off, wait for the remaining 20, who named the misspelled, gender write wrong, tour a busy at all.

Then follow the Guide to Viet Nam, Viet Nam guide here to meet people. After my tour guide told me, my family is the oldest, have to wait for the remaining 20 + to qi can do together to GATT. Had to watch helplessly watching those so-called whole mission lined up into to Viet Nam's little house. We can only wait on the outside, looking for a bench to sit down, have more than 4 points. With a tour guide, learn about chatter to to Hanoi for at least 8 points out of Beijing time, we may be a bit dry food didn't take, only a few chocolate, plus 2 bottles of water, didn't sell things at the moment, it seems to be hungry meal. Think about your own travel gonglue Viet Nam may have little of what, how still so no experience, let the children followed by the crime and, consequently self-defeating on this land with more hate tuanyou.

Finally I'm looking forward to the rest of the team, a good team, and soon the immigration, border than outbound simple, no one on the documents.

Tuxedoes, almost 6: 00 Beijing time. To less than 200 km of Hanoi, travel time is more than three hours, or Viet Nam best Highway, than we can to poor countries.

Finally arrived in Hanoi Hotel is 10 points.

The planned tour ring sword Lake, enjoy the water puppet can only be set aside. Eat supper (should be a midnight snack bar) back to the room wash finished quickly rest, 4 days 3 nights classic Viet NamTour the first day it came out. This evening of so-called-Samsung conditions don't got a tattoo of a smelly foot duck. I really don't know self-tour donkey are ring sword Lake near Hotel Central area of the hotel was what level, many people also praise it, next time, I'll help themselves to experience experience.

Time relativity loses one hour of Viet Nam (2)

December 4 estuary---Argyle Street-Hanoi Yin

Get off at eight o'clock in the morning, a slight chill, last night's rain is not small.

Two minutes walk to the Chinese border, no one in the morning could only see three carrying a large bag of foreigners in the notes.

B crossing smoothly, my passport is the first exit, border of armed police and look for a long time, asked me some questions, and get into the Office Internet access inspection, with a dozen more minutes to finally release.

Had no feeling, be they so seriously, I suddenly thought, it may go abroad ...

Viet Nam to cross the border into three Windows, the flowing water of Office, but even without a computer, or handwriting, efficiency is not high, we invite individuals waitingfor.

In the first window when filling the Chinese staff asked me to produce a health certificate and vaccination, but he did not follow me for tips, I wonder if is not is Viet Nam it flew to rich people:)

I and B that this time he was in charge of the General Manager and head of finance, through listening to his arrangements established a leadership position to help democratic centralism unified views, but I decided to enjoy nothing needs to be, know nothing of lazy days, posing as a naive girl:)

The gate is Viet Nam Street, we decided to take the train to Hanoi.

He speaks with a good price makes 15 Yuan sent us to old Street station, walk along the River in about 20 minutes to see table is nine four very. Laojiezhan is very small, almost like home town train station, the small square, many wearing women in Viet Nam with the assistance of the fruit, mostly Orange, there is a row of motorcycles waiting for soliciting, the surrounding buildings are four or five-storey buildings, narrow high, brush with bright pink, blue or yellow, full of coffee bar and guest house.

The vast majority of people from the Guangxi houyiguan into Viet Nam, from Yunnan estuary walk is chosen by car to Hanoi's many railway stations see carrying large packages we seem surprising.

Airfares are Viet Nam Wen, Chinese and English, he saw the ticket window before a uniformed man, he was the railway police or station security as he asked. The young man said a few words more difficult for English, told us that there was no coherent Chinese, I can't help but laugh a little surprised, because he's Chinese language than English also better: Viet Nam sold to foreigners) train ticket and give their people's votes are not quite the same, the price is more expensive. To Hanoi Viet Nam shield/foreigners 60000. Ticket window only Viet Nam shield, Bank's exchange rate should be 1: 1800, however the morning could change, according to the exchange rate of 1: 1700 to speak Chinese railway police for 1000 Yuan of Viet Nam shield, B 1000 with full hands, 5000 notes proudly said: "we now but millionaire!"

We buy a train ticket at half past ten, see time almost the pick-up but opened the door, go ask that you help us to change money in the police, he looks at the table with no coherent Chinese said: "Earlybird, one hour, before you go out for dinner.

"We suddenly awakened, although only over a bridge, but Viet Nam time than Beijing time slow an hour, meaning we suddenly extra one hour:)

B said: "we don't reduce tables so always extra one hour, I feel more fun, more leisurely.

"This proposal would really give us a later trip great fun:)

Viet Nam's narrow-gauge railway is equipped with a passenger than domestic looks compact and some, like Viet Nam man, very dapper.

The railway is running on the green-skin car, our car is the same, a fan on top, Ontario is a chair seats. When driving from laojiezhan not many people, many people can exclusive a seat to lie down to sleep. Stop after a few stops.

Viet Nam's train and a few years ago the Chinese situation is similar to many hawkers-OTAKE basket in each compartment walk to sell fruits and snacks, train small carts or sell something, but are bagged food and drink, something more upscale point precisely and hawkers ' do not disturb each other.

It was also carrying a similar long chimneys, Hookah 1000 guilders can draw one or two wells, business is good.

This bus seems to be relatively heavy main passenger line, no sleeper, or dining car, are hard back.

Each station has up and down all kinds of Viet Nam, all day and then there is the seat of the person opposite for a dial and dial, Viet Nam has a bit of initial impressions. I think that Viet Nam yearend, the people are very friendly. Although never understand Viet Nam, but seeing the same block of strangers and help each other, to look after things have also been other car's initiative to take care of the passengers. The train also had only seen in the trip fight event, two men because of a dispute, seat around them hurried to quanjia, so soon also died. There are also bus with fresh vegetables, while the old car start optional dish, she just opposite the passenger would help her with the stem, respective to the station of clap your hands on the mud and get a £) locals we are also very friendly, the B has been coughing so need to drink water, but the train no tea boiler, we are ready to buy some train attendants coffee's hot water, sitting across from the young man with Viet Nam to say a few words will help us free to to a pot of hot water:)

Sitting in this compartment was interesting, because it can't understand, like watching the drama, read and speculation about the plot, and very fun:)

The car is on the platform we met in Hanoi live family guest house little boss, his room 6 dollars a night, there is air conditioning TV and 24-hour hot water, also package breakfast lot in we are ready to go to the old town.

Good to see the room, not satisfied you can look for other nearby, we bear half of the taxi fare.

Kiem Hanoi old North is (old quarter), also called "36 Street" is the formation of crafts workshop focused on the past business centre

According to the street set industry to the name, such as cotton city street, Silver Street, jewelry Street, Silk Street, sugar Street, Peel Street, copper Street, Hanoi's most famous snacks--fish also in the old town of grilled fish Street, now there are still many markets maintained the ancient mode of operation. Old town has a wide range of shops and guese house, is the focus of the backpack self-help tourists.

See the room after we decided to stay and the room is not big but clean and the price is quite reasonable, mainly to see around on my way to concentrate a lot business restaurant, the table is placed to the sidewalk, dinner's bustling cuisine on us but cannot refuse the temptation:) Moreover, the geographical location is also very good, walking to the Kiem in less than ten minutes, almost in the Centre of the old town.

Name is a veritable family guesthouse is indeed, a tall narrow small floor, each floor of a room, there are five or six bedrooms, access in addition to the boss of the family is the tenant, is quiet and safe.

Boss was very young in Viet Nam, nearly 30-year-old, thin medium build, always seems very nice.

He was very diligent efforts, we arrived the next morning I heard he's first child was born, so his previous night work in the railway station.

Put down your luggage, go out for dinner.

Viet Nam's cuisine and the beauty is that it discussed many times before, but the first meal I really don't know what to eat. B fully reflects the leadership that he landlord exchanged a few words after the strides that out the door.

Today is the weekend and missed meal mouth, people on the street.

Viet Nam were similarly like night market, sidewalk full is dinner. We slipped up along the walk, I'm behind him walking around. Passing an overcrowded rice noodle stalls, a pole two bamboo baskets, with full barrels while steaming soup, rice flour, put clothing with spices and lush bamboo basket of lettuce leaves, there are high-high stack of bowls, hats in the middle of the booth at the bird's gonna, a group of customers and a bowl of rice flour hands around the stand or sit or stand, and the scene look awe-inspiring, my straight to swallow saliva, and he was going out far better, I had to quickly catch up in the past, I considered what he wanted to go. Then turned a corner, he looked up signs and returns few steps bring me to a very old shops, small black wooden doors, there are some antique, door the same old long black counter lay a man is watching TV, see our lazy finger means above, so he took me up beside the narrow wooden stairs to the second floor.

The second floor is a restaurant, but there are some old old wooden tables and benches and floors stepped up also gezhigezhi.

There are two people at the dinner table. We sit by the window, the darker desk slimy, bench is big and wide and heavy, reminds me of the State-run hotel for many years. No young waiter more like State, greeting several acoustic "menu," before they took a piece of plastic sheet on the table, look at the Palm-size paper that I know that this is Hanoi, the famous fish shop, even the entire street is so named because of the shop. I couldn't look at him, was a bit surprised to his heart:)

"ONLY ONE DISH IN OUR RESTAURANT

The restaurant is only supply a cuisine

GRILLED FISH

Grilled fish

PRICE: 70,000VND/PERSON

Price: 7 000 Viet Nam shield/per person

(NOT INCLUDED DRINK)"

(Not including beverages)

This is what I've seen most of the menu

First heard of Viet Nam is the low income countries, this fish is not cheap.

We couldn't use USD and RMB meter starting price, it is 1: 1800 RMB, USD 1: 15000, equivalent to almost 40 Yuan RMB, USD 5 bucks for one person. Although see environmental old and older, are so quiet, so well known, estimates certainly like we like a lot of old China wine is not afraid of the alley, the cattle's menu and not a clean environment and deserted customer and not enthusiastic attendant suddenly became the source of our faith: must is delicious:)

"Two people" I's leadership has asked.

We look forward to, the waiter will soon was served.

A small Pan placed above a small carbon furnace, two spare a bowl of rice, fish sauce, two Bowl mix lettuce leaves, a small bowl and onion segment. Pan Leeds la sound, cover the pan with just a few fish section in yellow soup with fried ...

The waiter shows: put lettuce leaves began to fall into the pot and there are fish soup mix hot hot, then put the fish, vegetables, rice noodle soup mixture and stir together can be eaten ...

I had two estuary.

Fried fish soup is probably beyond point Curry, nothing seems to be no salt, little fish also is not a good variety of fish, meat, nor more coarse fish flavor, honestly, it really is not good. B in order to not waste, insisted that his own eating rice flour and half rice noodles, and 80 per cent of the fish and vegetables:)

"It's no wonder that information on all said this" fish "how famous you are nobody mentioned it tastes! well, and so let's go back to tell the truth, others ask up let's say especially delicious, also deceived everyone to eat!" he said less encouraging.

We couldn't help laughing:) in Viet Nam's luxury meal is also the most difficult to eat a meal.

Later on the way back, I didn't eat that finally eat the roadside sacks with fish, that is the real delicious?:)

Vietnam & Thai-departure (1)

There is a private, for example — travel.

Different senses, staggered stacking, forming complex experience.

Less than a month of preparation time, some hasty.

Travel, air tickets, visas, hotels, this process seems to be in a picture box, a blank canvas, waiting for the color of the jump. Each pack, the heart is always filled with expectation of pleasure. There are many kinds of wait, anxiety, tension and frustration. This lets the person describing the mood.

Read some travels, seems to be the majority for Viet Nam's feelings is pure, likes or dislikes, crush or flee.

For me, I go on it's territory, pure imagination is attractive.

Then experience the real Vietnam, I feel belong to the latter, also my first time on an unfamiliar feeling a little sick of geographical. So once again flying from Bangkok, Saigon's time, fortunately, I was glad I only stay for two nights.

That Thailand, third, 15-year-old Bangkok and Pattaya when on memory, recall in 2005.

But the second time I go to work, concerns not the same. This difference is a universal and PP.

** * Trip * to * the *

Wanted by Viet Nam's classic line from North to South, Hanoi-hue-Hoi an-NHA-Saigon.

Subsequently, only reservations of Hanoi and Saigon.

Go to Hanoi, Halong Bay. The Sai Kung, their perception is a must-see place.

Abandonment of hue, where the Imperial Palace and the Royal Mausoleum on we really unattractive, how can you use thousands of international air tickets to see Beijing, Shenyang, Nanjing and some buildings (and the place has been visited).

Abandon the NHA, think NHA beaches should not be the best choice for snorkeling. The only regret that the Council, has been very fond of ancient town. But the bus for too long, the aircraft was not cost-effective, but anyway, the trip are at least three days.

A simple look at Asia, Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways routes and prices later, determines the final tour.

D1 Beijing-Hanoi (Vietnam Airlines 15: 45-18: 20)

D2 Hanoi-Dragon-Hanoi (attending day tour)

D3 Hanoi-Bangkok (booking Asia late flights 20: 55-22: 45, can live next to the hotel at the airport, saving travel time and cost in urban areas)

War without winners

There is no winner of war — visit the Museum of the war card blanks, Sai Kung

(Note: the war card track Museum is located in Viet Nam Sai third county Mo Wen Qin Street 28, in kind and the picture shows the Vietnam war era aggressors committed)

Tourism in this country, it is difficult to completely avoid almost the world war.

This outbreak of forty years ago, had a strong earthquake ground motion across the planet, this land of smoke and fire, Kindle has just brighten this everyone on the planet, as well as their eyes full of tears. Today, although it's been a long time, but in the aftermath of the earthquake, but still in this country every inch of the land long rang, circled. A traveler, not need attention, you can find many residue of this period of history. They avoid the call of the time, like ghost ghosts as found in this land, occasionally jump out from a corner, flipping a passerby sensitive nerves. A city, a bridge, or even an ordinary forest, and the war inextricably linked. This field to the name of the war, has been so closely and this country, and it has become to this country an important theme of tourism.

However, for the country's history, I was very careful to avoid a lot of this war is too extensive and direct contact.

Because of this war, for the other side of the ocean, there is no doubt that country is a painful experience. It once you come to this unknown country that can fix with advanced weapons, but didn't think in deeper quagmire, obsessive. It is this war has been over eight thousand forfeits soldier, until the whole opposition to panic, and eventually evacuated a disgrace to the southeast of the jungle and swamp. This is the country most painful history. But from an objective point of view, relative to its competitors, which at best is it's not a long history in an unhappy one chapter. This greed boy, because the coveted next rose, in climbing over the fence at the arm injury, Lonesome scream. He had not been such a pain, so I think this is the end of the world, but it nevertheless showed his ignorance. He did not know that war is not in the local community, another big loss nor overstrain dynamic bone. As long as there is enough time, the pain will slowly healing, he naturally in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, in Iraq again recovered once lost confidence. However, for this war antagonists, the Southeast Asia thousands of years of war, the war, but is it every experience of pain, is covered with it this thick book of the history of every page in the blood of every line. In the United States ' can this land before internal strife, China threat, France's colonial, Japan's aggression, already in his possession to trample on numerous occasions. Each time, are fighting to the death, is life threatening. This little jaundiced and thin middle-aged men, malnutrition, but always face a much more powerful than his rivals, and always full of scars and blood for a tragic victory. Worse, on an enemy has just been evicted, the next enemy is, the wound is still bleeding, he had struggled to get up, face and a more intense struggle. So the war for the win with victory in the country, although it is this victory has three million population of dedication, there are numerous lush forests, fertile farmlands and lush village, as well as more than ten years of valuable time, but in the final analysis, this however is it one of the countless nightmare, but is it countless suffering, countless wounds, one of many disaster. Is the sum of these disasters, instead of the more prominent a, achievement of it today. Excessive attachment to one of them, do not allow for the country's character has an overall awareness.

Moreover, even from the understanding of the war, on the ruins of direct contact, nor on the cruelty of war to get accurate understanding — filled with corpses of trenches have been filled in, soaked in the blood of land covered with grass, even once a formation of the tunnel, now only endless silence — is rendered in front of us, however, is the historical sea beneath a sunken ship without a soul.

Even more frightening is that it may become winners demonstrate martial props. The body is removed, blood smears, has become the battlefield of fresh and beautiful, every corner shot through a heroism of light. Standing here, it seems only natural and easy victory, people watching heroes photos pride Peng Pai, stroking incomplete weapon leisurely longing, no one to imagine that the battle of the chill wind blowing, and no one to calculate this victory of land under how many soldiers buried bones of Sensen.

This is the reason I avoided.

So in hue, I bypass the DMZ Zone, the Vietnam war in the North-South split; the same Mac district in Sai Kung, I avoid the ancient Shiba road, this has let us put fear of the underground Palace. However, this is located at Kung town little Museum, it is very hard to avoid. In fact, in the narrow area of the region, you almost can't not grown with it. From Unity House, along the road, intifada South Chi (Nam Ky Khoi Ngmoi St.) on the two narrow streets, not far away, it does lay in your field of vision. This is a more common than in the yard. Exterior wall light yellow, there is no other enforcers of the courtyard; the gate not style, looks like a temporary structure of scaffolding; even the ticket office is quite subtle, need to go through before they can see. Moreover, even if they went in, its interior, apart from the few open air exhibition of aircraft tanks slightly visible, inside the building, those collections with the war the truest most detailed evidence to be called the Pavilion building, also still be commonplace. In fact, the Pavilion is a common one, some, or even just using simple sheet or asbestos. Everything is so simple, even rudimentary, it was not usually a solemn Museum, old and deep, for a victors of War Museum, it is hard to understand.

This kind of naive perhaps derived from its connotation, originated from inside the large number

This war of data, charts, photographs, models, and real. How can a talented person who performed will care about his experiments in the sense that it does not come from outside, but rooted in the history of a collection inside. There, the war of evidence is carefully categorized and displayed in several different pavilions inside. The Pavilion, which display weapons in kind, with tanks, anti-aircraft artillery, various types of bombs and light weapons; a display of prison torture, that Tiger prison model, there are a variety of instruments of torture; there are startling show the effects of the war, the incompleteness of the baby, distorted limbs, against war brings long-lasting harm human beings. But the deepest impression is the war photographs of the exhibition. These reporters in the field by those photographed of photos documenting this war and one by one the most real moments. Fear of soldiers, helpless, even of gunfire, brutal massacre, scenes, so vivid, so heavy pressure to each face, let his shortness of breath, thought, shocked. He tried to flee, escape the brutal facts, but this one black and white photos as one huge black hole, let him no way back. Thus, in the recent, I face the most dark history of mankind.

These pictures, there are two particularly caught my attention.

A sheet background is gray, lit. This Dim reminiscent of out-of-the-Sun evening clouds in the afternoon, or more accurately, the moment before the storm. In a small rise, half dead wood sloping bevel pointing up. Below is a dead wood, helmet, slightly raised, a rifle, helmet and placed next to arbitrarily. Careless, will think this is the one wearing the helmet soldiers carrying gun squatting in the trenches. However, no one--, helmet here is empty. This discovery so shocking. Their masters? a strong hunch over mind, so direct and cannot be resolved-he, the master of the helmet, the young soldiers, was dead. His light of life, like the dark background, dark, was finally went out. He was perhaps the last killed during a battle, and perhaps a few minutes ago was a cold shot and killed, leaving this blank helmet and guns to this once posture, accept the companion last farewell. Then, the ever living, who is just a New York is a graduate of the University or the son of a Texas farmers? or a descendant of the Indians in New Jersey? all knowing. And, like the hole under the helmet, it doesn't matter anymore. He died, and then advanced weapons and sophisticated equipment, cannot protect a fragile lives in the battlefield.

Another piece, but it is in the fast-flowing rivers, a mother in order to avoid sudden attack, with three children, he fled the scene.

The three children, the youngest only one year old – he was too young to know what happened. In his mother's arms, he stared at the rolling of flowing water, only the tension. Another child, about four or five years old, apparently was aware of earlier land ROAR and what it means to the fire, and he was afraid, not wait for the mother, had cried and cried, rushed forward. While most of the children, about seven years old, but it is the most calm. But this is calmly as numbness more appropriate. This flight, he grew up, has undergone more than once. His childhood spent in fear, no joy, no hope, there is only war ridden fled to make ends meet, in the shadow of death around in. Fear is part of his young soul, cruel fate was prematurely, urging him to taste his precocious, made him numb. He knew that the Center could not change anything, and not in a hurry, just behind the mother rushes. While in the middle of three children and their mothers. Have to admit, even to today's standards, this is also a beautiful face. But let a shocking not her beauty, but her face was circulated that took the kind of determination, as a result of a mother and a fearless, can also be said that she will make her noble and beautiful, a pressing. Her left hand right hand embrace infant, with four or five-year-old child, eyes closely watched ahead — it must be the other side of the River, they fled. Her perseverance in the face is only a belief that regardless of any price, to let children to a safe place to go. Mother to make her forget tired and scared, she worked on. But she also how far? in flames burning of the Earth, which one inch is secure land? in the contend with death, she will support? maybe a day in the morning, a bomb fell on her side, this perseverance in the face becomes an eternal history.

So really grateful as we left behind these photos of field reporters, is that they gave us the most real contact, they risked their lives to the solidification in Flash history.

The bomb be near me bang to fall, at any time from the body, whistling through the battlefield, in that one moment of danger, they overcame the fear, cool lifted camera, with their most professional spirit as we present the works depicting how thrilling. To these works, they have also made tremendous sacrifices — in this war, total 76 field reporter killed or disappeared from the warring sides, but also from other countries. Think about this kind of 76 people and to make their experience and talents combine to form the world's most powerful news media, but they eventually did not live to leave, and to always stay in here. Regardless of whether they were originally intended with how to set foot on the land, whether they are to seek the truth, and morality in the drive, or simply the need to work, they have spent their lives, their courage and their blood, and that the shapes of monumental works, make your own beat to death, has eternal life.

These brave people no doubt deserve the respect of our forever, however, there are more people, they have not been recorded, but did not receive the appropriate attention.

Their considerable identity lowly, the Earth is only a small grass inconspicuous; among them was officials, Warrior, but more of a civilian population; they like dust, in this land is flying, but eventually to silence — they are the three million died in the war in Viet Nam. 3. it is hard to imagine that a war would allow a State gave it one fifth of the population, but that is the brutal reality of war. Imagine that three million people to put their names to itemize, this is a long list of? United States Washington Monument, Vietnam war is composed of two fan like arm as a "V" shaped out of black marble wall, stone wall extends a total of 78 metres above dense moment full of all 57692 United States soldiers killed during the Vietnam war. If Viet Nam is also building a similar monument, then its length is 78 meters, which is four kilometres. — — But, even if there is such a monument, the vast majority of its walls is blank, it is illegible, dark marble smooth like mirror, seemed to have such a small piece of the wall where the spirits never name never true. Sounds ridiculous, but it is more brutal truth — most of the 3 million victims, their names will never know. This can be attributed to the years of war have paralysed the country by household function, but it is equally important – if not more important – these victims in large part, for the entire family to the entire family, the whole village entire villages, even entire cities and towns in the whole town was destroyed, they are the first artillery and aircraft bombed and incendiary bombs and machine gun fire in madness, and finally was heavily armed soldiers block-by-door to jianbiqingye destruction. They themselves were destroyed at the same time, all the relationships, all of them live in this world, but also of evidence has been destroyed.

It is hard to imagine why there is such a cruel massacres, especially in this era, we think that mankind has gone wild.

It happened that made me feel that, despite the progress of human technology is so great, even though we had to fly to the Moon, but human weaknesses inherent in human nature, selfish, greedy, bias, and so on, compared to the thousands of years ago, we did not leave much further. This brutal massacre did not originate from hatred, but from fear: when the soldiers on the battlefield are each other's war scares, when he found the experience of every possible attack on him, his head crashes and his humanity distorted, so he turned into a killing machine without compromise, he would kill every one see Viet Nam, he would have been in a sky-high dying before farmers also rifle, instinctively on a runaway children pulled the trigger. — — However! this is not distorted human nature to the extreme, it's best not to students ' cruel, but an insult to the dead, trampling on human dignity. There is a photograph, "in the Viet Nam revolutionary soldiers cut head, US Army Photo", four United States soldiers sit together, men according to two just cut down of Viet Nam's head, exposing the Devil's smile. At that moment in their mind? monstrous smiles behind what it hides a how distorted human? how can such a cruel and vacate their war actually makes the breed? human depravity spectacle, nothing more than to see that people feel sad.

However, this is war.

The cruelty of war, not only physically destroyed, but also human annihilation, dignity trampled upon. For battlefield side, fear him, make him mad, made him a monster without reason. As for the other party, for the countless generations in the work of the people, for the death of three million people, the situation is miserable. Suffocation, their soul ascended to heaven, but the guards guards them away, and short chisel chisel: topsy-turvy world records, "check this" — for the Earth, they just dream of a group of fuzzy shadows, shot in the war of Flash, and I immediately gone missing. United States people can go to the Vietnam war monument to the fighters besieging them, you can provide them a wreath, can they play funeral music, you can touch the stone wall's name silent cry me, however, that the death of three million people in Viet Nam, their compatriots do? they may be able to find the dead body of the deceased, but cannot say their names. They may be able to bury the dead, on the Earth piled up thousands of new Tomb, but cannot write on the tombstone of a Word. These dead people, behind even that basic rights denied to! their names nobody knows, and their individual is no longer important, their death finally rolled into a cold figures — 3000000 — three million! this is their sum, and that is the sum of all their lives, that is they all laugh, all sweat, all hope, as well as the sum of all suffering. However, this sum, but is just a three syllable, but is a wanna be a second movement, which they have any meaning? — war claimed their bodies that Bale, why more brutally kills them after death of dignity?

So I understand that the eyes this tiny white Museum why so ordinary, understand why it is no point to crawl winner of publicity.

Because of this war without winners, all of them are victims. Aggressors, regardless of whether it owns how advanced weapons, regardless of motive is how justice whitewash, or whether it has been used in other people's land of rampant long before its final result only one, that is, with the defeat of humiliation. No flowers on the way back, without a smile, but peer cold body — that is to their tyranny must pay the price, it would also like to pay for many years to repent — if it knows how to repent — as interest. But this land of the people, these people away the aggressors, these innocent people, their victory, but no winner fun. They won the war, the war has claimed all of them, it took family, older youth, burning forests, a barren land. They thought it was a victory, but in the end, they really are, however, is the endless suffering. This painSo deeply, and they cannot be in the weeds of diffuse hygiene passionate colours in the same way before, and extensive land proudly looked up — so this Museum, only so simple even simple features exist. It exists, not because it won the war, but because it was burdened by humans — no matter who or United States Viet Nam — pain. Like the guy on the cross, and bore all the sins of mankind, so humble ringlets a noble head, this small museum, where it crawl — it must crawl — to an injured person's attitude, as numerous in this war fallen people, lay flat, with a strong and firm voice, telling people all come on recalls the significance of this period of history —

"Today, looking back, not to stir up hatred, but rather to learn from the lessons of history, so absolutely no longer let war in Viet Nam homeland again, do not let it go in the us on any corner of the planet.

Latest Viet Nam Hanoi, Saigon self-tour liushuizhang

The day before coming back from Viet Nam, the most fresh records for everyone to see

Total tips:

Overall feeling, Viet Nam is 20 years ago in China.

The economy is not so well-developed, and it is not so far behind, full street motorcycles, many people being.

Big city is a typical high wage and low consumption.

Do not think that Viet Nam was a backward, cheap and even wild places, at least in Hanoi and Sai has become a mature tourism Center, open bus along the city, also has a sophisticated local tours. Hanoi, Saigon prices and poor does not leave the country, the fruit is not cheaper than domestic. Cheap fruit Mekong Delta.

Season: March-April is the hot season, southern Vietnam has very hot, rainy season from April to enter, rainfall increase, negative travel.

March near Hanoi weather basic equal to Guangdong weather, not too hot nor cold. Comparison of dry, Hanoi mm took good skin care products. Sai is already strong in the summer UV rays. But the night was very cool.

Language: Cantonese is available at the border, Hanoi next Dragon occasionally available elsewhere in Chinese and English.

Very often, English is not good, neither the English label, Viet Nam national English is not good. Just pointing right, where the difference could not see do not understand English, so also the hiking backpack.

With regard to change money: for RMB'd Hanoi, near the border not changed do not know, Hanoi old knapsack habitation Department has many gold store, the exchange rate is also good.

Go to Saigon to change not only the RMB, US dollar exchange rate also changed. Overall, the US dollar. In most cases you can ask them to us and how price Viet Nam shield, respectively, to measure the effective, in my experience, the US dollar be cost-effective. Interpretation, the shield, just remove the three zero and then divided by 2 is the price of the RMB.

Tours: local tours, best looking for more formal, such as T & M Brothers, Sinh Café, etc.

Hanoi Office: Sinh Café 52 Luong Ngoc Quyen, Hanoi (04) 9261568

Sinh Café Kung address: 246-248 De Tham Str, Dist 1, HCMC Tel: (08) 8376833, 8369420 (near van 5 Argyle Street, more convenient)

Food: all Raiders on rice noodles, generally good, but did not think so delicious.

Some eating special delicacy, suspected put a seasoning monosodium glutamate, since he finished his tongue is very dry, fresh and tasty too. Viet Nam's food are relatively light, will also give you the soy sauce and chili sauce, chili sauce red, very beautiful. Fish sauce made out of really fresh vegetables, it is recommended to try. As a result of long-term European colonists Westernize the food comparisons, especially breakfast. In Hanoi can see there are so many pick a burden to sell toast in Sai Kung, coffee is the unusual drinks, the morning will see manning a cup of iced coffee without milk. Usually the coffee shop has two major types of iced black coffee, sugar and milk, if you want to add milk, they wonder, is condensed milk, sweet. The fruit is very strange, dipped in Salt eating, street side see selling cut to mango, drop unexpectedly hot pepper, Crimson

Live: just found backpack inhabited area, home to ask it, not necessary to specifically go to which, if found, is not a room, or even necessarily still open.

Line: If you are on foot, it is recommended that you are ready to complete the map.

If there is a taxi, but also to prepare maps. Viet Nam's drivers are very bad, plain, also does not take you to places. The situation a little better, Hanoi very confused, don't play the table, to discuss the price. Specific reference travel content. Hanoi, Saigon all have a place to rent a motorcycle, you can consider.

Finally, do not superstitious Raiders, not that you should not change the world, a lot of things, there are a number of, it is.

Tips2: Raiders says puppet show to buy a ticket in the morning, the facts and does not work well, people always book as early as next week by ing.

Very fast opening an hour they may put some votes out of luck, you can buy. There is also a puppet Kung, but very expensive, five dollars. There are signs that the door camera 1USD, photography 4 USD, but we just entered didn't give money. Foreigners are good for money for a ticket, so we have the power over the camera out of the shoot took, I recorded the N pieces, no one came to me.. Alas, shidao is bullying a gentleman.

A bit far from the Temple in Kiem nearby taxi past 40, 000D.

Preaching cultural place of Confucius, great, good, style is much like China, but also a bit different, especially the roof tiles, has a lot of character.

Confucian temple (Temple of Literature), summer opening hours: 7: 30-17: 30 winter open 8: 00-17: 00, tickets 5, 000D student ticket 2,500, 15 years old is free of charge.

Our student card that can be used well. If you buy a booklet 3, 000D.

Then walk to Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, a little point road.

It is time out, motorcycle-terrorist, standing on the street, Centre, motorcycle flow from all directions to hold over, eyes are all pieces of pressure from brain malfunction. Ways Embassy district, sure enough atmosphere, clean and quiet way. Viet Nam Ministry in mausoleum on the edge of the square, but encountered door standing guard would say good Chinese. Ho Chi Minh mausoleum was closed, but the next day.

And then find a shabby Chinese Embassy

The older. Being on Lenin square.

After a small street of gears for dinner, very expensive.

Proprietress is a Grandet, eat not happy. Very emotional feel Hanoi is to a not wanted to second place.

Tips3: changing money in gold store very cost-effective.

Backpack area there are many gold store, you can go in and ask that each. 1USD=15700D，1RMB=2210D

Hanoi (Hanoi) impression: a dirty, messy.

Dust is very large, every day a sore throat. Full street are wires. Not seen, nor residential housing agency, I feel like 20 years ago in China, no commercial housing. Later confirmed that they are buying land, do not buy a House. Motorcycle, traffic chaos. Taxi driver is plain, 40 block distance is generally out of 80 blocks, and the most time out to 200, and was a slaughter pigs. Recommendations are in familiar places and say hello to people far probably, when you know the owner doesn't allow it. In addition, the place to hear two foreigners being robbed, we have to be careful. But Viet Nam mm down are pretty well, eyes wide open, huh, huh.

Tips4: suggest that you print a map before departure, or go to any travel agency after taking a picture.

Because it is very easy to use. A language barrier can direct means for others to see that (basically, hotel ' drivers ' or even a little English, will, in Sai Kung, the connection will carry the child's aunt, English numbers tell you how much money a kg ~ ~) most insurance is that the hotel will be English and help you write is going to place the text of Viet Nam; and secondly if the taxi driver can see you have the map you are less likely to bypass road. If a taxi, in Hanoi, it is recommended that you do not call list, direct bargain!

Single-column Temple is the narrow version, not the tickets, so a little place, take a photo.

Then go to the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh (Ho Chi Ming ' s Mausoleum), the portal went in a long way around a circle will let you go to the door. With the Mainland to visit the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, a lot of people waiting in line for tickets, however, do not save the package to money.

Finally we reported the kim family of 2 days, not 720,000/boards, have to be quite cheap. Other users have asked, but left to 980,000 claimed to be the meals, do not know how the meal.

After hitting the car went independent Palace.

Drivers again not to we pull into place down, on the extreme of Viet Nam's drivers.

Independent House (Dinh Thong Nhat) buy time: 7: 30-11: 00, 13: 00-16: 00, tickets 15, 000D, more than buy time to buy a ticket, but if you're already in it, they won't catch you out, you can go slowly.

In the introduction of independent Palace have seen video tapes in the Vietnam war, Chinese, known as Uncle Ho Chi Minh as Hu Mao grandfather has with a spell.

Wording equivalent of revolution, it appears that the Communist Party of the country are so huh.

Out after a Window called ' s Coffee dinner, the opposite is a square, tree-walking is the legendary red Cathedral of Notre-Dame (Nha Tho Duc Ba), the Church on the edge of the post office (Buu Dien Sai Gon).

Notre Dame Cathedral can go in, only weekdays 8: 00 a.m.-10: 30 and 3-4 point is open. The post Office's style is unique, you can compare and see many foreigners tours will take over the post office have become tourist attractions.

7 point basically are collected, better to go early. There are selling clothing, coffee, food, crafts, fruit, etc.

(Viet Nam's hand embroidery, good was expensive, thousands of thousands)

Finally walking back to Bui Vien.

Sai (Saigon) impression: for locals, the portion of the Centre of Ho Chi Minh City is called Sai, the price is astronomical.

The fruit is not cheap, prices and poor does not leave the country. The whole feeling much better than Hanoi, clean, beautiful urban construction, landscaping or better. Closer international city feeling. Motorcycle and wires or many, mm is the same beautiful, huh, huh. Coffee seems to be a part of their lives, see manning early in the morning with a cup of iced coffee.

March 27-28, Mekong (Mekong) tour

8: 00 am departure from the hotel.

To sit on the bus, and then sit the boat, visit coconut sugar processing and production of rice cakes. Rice cakes are delicious, very sweet. There are also do m flower candy. Encounter two Tianjin's aunt, they are said to Viet Nam has two weeks, a word of English does, too strong, go all out. Aunt also had 70 days hiking in Yunnan. Cattle. Admiration for ing. Talk for a minute. And a half, three in the afternoon for a tour guide and boat. Intermediate and tour a little unhappy aunt said, the NHA and hue of day trips are very formal.

(Mekong Delta)

Take a boat to the Wing Lung (Vinhlong), fruit super cheap, 6 big mango is 5, 000D.

Then put us into another mission, bus to Terminal for ferry to CanTho (Chinese name is celery and the second word is a grass-prefix and, not them), to live. We came out to find a place to eat in a square, opposite to find a Mekong restaurant next door is wide Shiu Guild. Taste good, price is not expensive, eating out and bought a few durian, very cheap, around a, 16,000 taste good haha. Roadside many selling grilled banana and baked cakes, bought what a taste good.

Day 6: 30 a.m., 7 points a bit to the famous market, where Floating Market.

Mekong River on cloud is very low, many

That day was very good, very dry. In the morning, motor boats and the sound is heard throughout the tutu. River. In fact, strictly speaking, we did not go to the Mekong River, we go, just a few of the Mekong Delta Water Beach City. The hinterland of the Mekong River, I do not know what is..

Visit the mill.

And then continued (one way) for boats (one way), 6 point to the clock back to Saigon.

The guide said, Sai Kung 2000USD per capita/year, the consumer division of one half, but the price 15,000,000,000/square meter.

Do not believe, ask tour emphasizing N times, is nine zero, a square meters. Guided tours of income 100-400USD/month. Too high. Aunt said, hear civil servants only 500 RMB a month. And I ask in Hanoi, the Ashanti before 350 a month and also to block, before she sold clothes in Haiphong, only 150 RMB a month. Hanoi House, old town also to 5-6 thousand Yuan rent a flat, then 3000 a month. Nearly 10 million of business (not know). Really do not understand the difference between the income and housing prices so high, the consumer is not cheap, how life is. ..

Mekong Delta (Mekong Delta) impression: always feel that this is the real lives of Viet Nam.

On the River every morning on the sale of food, land, dark sleep. Hear the motor noise tutu, you feel that this is the life of Viet Nam. Worth a look.

A bath is sitting on the second floor in cappuccino, eating desk to the edge of the balcony and watch the opposite House.

Finally found the foreigner why like sitting in the street stay for a few months. The original is life, small wind blowing, chatting over dinner, take a look at the street of exoticism, watching other people in the eyes of all the action. Start like Saigon, start living like coffee.

However, this does not seem very Viet Nam.

However, this has become a part of Viet Nam, what is the real Viet Nam?

Shop around in BuiVien blocks, there are a lot of good things to buy ...

There is a shop called blue dragon, very stylish decoration, made of paper, recycle, the boss is also very stylish, speak Japanese and English, but also one or two English words.

Sleep wake up already into the Pan cut or beautiful NAI's site, I am not sure.

Don't see a large supermarket, don't know if not. The way it saw a Metro.

Beautiful Nai impression: very good.

Geographic phenomenon is very special, but the General sea water. Can your car rental with foreigner drive jeep on the road to our whistle, HA HA. People seem to not like Saigon so much, if you are familiar with, it is best to put aside their own car, a two or three days of play.

Eleven countries note-Ho Chi Minh MAR 15 2009

Written on the front

In the United States bears (Mui Ne) on the peer of a joke, "here's scenery and many countries have similarities, for the first time abroad you will earn a", with this title.

As a result of last night's origin, we didn't go to any place, but obediently at Hotel to meet the coach in the evening.

Today's weather is still nice, sunny to ignore the forecast before Indy.

Later we found that after two days of weather forecasts are thunderstorms, but the day all turned into a fine (for parts) that we back away poncho completely useless, but also walk around the Sun.

Check out at noon, the luggage in the hotel, beginning around Ho Chi Minh, Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road.

By the way, found the Raiders, on ice cream Kem Bach Dang, store it in the DL Le Loi junctions each side has a home, pretty good read. Coconut ice cream tastes good, eaten still digging the coconut meat, some of the durian is sweet. Ice cream shops around the many shops, some sell homemade goods, price is not cheap.

Dinner in hotel nearby PHO24 solution, fast-food type of PHO restaurant, taste reactive.

After playing to Van five old street Sinh Café catch 20: 30 to go to the NHA's sleeping bus.

Ho Chi Minh's TAXI is 10,000 shield/km. And here's TAXI in addition to the normal four-seater, there are a number of a row can take five or six people.

Sleeping is a toilet for the Bus, the bus after a bottle of water.

Seat is basically a more spacious, last row other than the five-seater, the equivalent of sleep, is slightly larger will be very crowded. The original booking time nor and the results of our instructions, two more than a metre eight fellow stayed well.

All Ho Chi Minh is a suitable place for a walk in a trance, and Shanghai some like, but more laid-back.

Not too many attractions, the city is just a kind of style. And local services employees quite friendly, at least I have not encountered snobbish or indifferent.

In Ho Chi Minh, you will often hear Japanese in the Dungeon.

Don't know why there is a considerable number of tourists from Japan, so many shop assistants can speak Japanese. So there is nothing in here should exchange, English, Japanese, French will have a suitable for you.

As regards public security, urban centre seems to be OK, maybe it was luck, not encountered many mix reflects the speed looting and theft.

2009.8.16-8.29 family swim lessons in Cambodia

A family of three Cambodian-Vietnamese tour summary

During 4 months of preparation, we are a family of three from 8.16--8.29 calendar 14 days in Cambodia and Vietnam Tour finally came to a successful conclusion.

Her husband and daughter for the preparatory work for the higher evaluation, I would also like to take this journey of some summary here are going to go with a friend and share it.

Spirit vacations do not want to travel and get very nervous, 14 day trips I just chose four places: Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Ho Chi Minh and the Sinai.

Go to Cambodia mainly appreciate Angkor civilization, we lived in Siem Reap 4 night 5 days; went to Viet Nam is a holiday, select the online reputation of great beauty Nye Beach, on the beach stay 4 days 3 nights. Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh as plane landing and departure city are in the vicinity. Stroke following 8.16 Beijing-Phnom Penh {southern CZ32316: 15-21: 30}

8.17 Phnom Penh tour: the main hall of the Royal Palace and silver

8.18 Phnom Penh-Siem Reap (Mekong Express8: 30 – 14: 00), go to the mountain nesbakken, sunset

8.19-8.21 Angkor 3 Tour: small circle, big ring and outer ring

8.22 Siem Reap – Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam Airlines VN82213: 30-14: 30) $ 140/person $ 110/children

8.23 Mekong tour

8.24 Ho Chi Minh City tour

8.25 Ho Chi Minh — beautiful Nai (SINH CAFÉ bus 7: 30 – 13: 00) 90.000 shield/person

8.26-8.27 beauty Nye Beach leisure

8.28 beautiful Nai-Ho Chi Minh (T.M CAFÉ bus 13: 30-19: 00 pm) $ 5/person sleeping bus

8.29 Ho Chi Minh — Guangzhou (China Southern Airlines CZ3688: 20 – 12: 05)

Guangzhou – Beijing (China Southern Airlines CZ310915: 00 — 18: 00)

Are summarized as follows:

Visa: in Beijing, Viet Nam's visa to the Embassy to check I am.

A simple $ 35/person, Monday, Thursday. Cambodia visa is applied for, but charges a E-VISA some trouble, I am applying for the Sunday night, the deduction of payment at that time, but got no news on Wednesday, the call to the Consulate General in Shanghai, the attitude of the staff there is very poor, told me that there is nothing you can consult the E-VISA. Here to you some information: If you apply for e-visa after no information, you can call this telephone + 855-23224973, call me later with Beijing's Embassy to the side of the staff was very good, as long as reported on your reference number (reference no.) On the line, I am Friday morning call, you can DOWNLOAD at night. E-Visa: $ 25/person, $ 5/children. However we check in Beijing, the capital airport said never seen my E-VISA, let us also a little nervous a (smooth, however when the Baiyun Airport exit), because our Viet Nam visa is 8.22 take effect only if the day, so we even E-VISA invalid abroad have no chance to mention landing check. This is my current trip to the first failure, should allow visa also in Viet Nam 8.16 day to take effect.

Line: I know the China Southern Airlines has the plan X99, has been focus China Southern Airlines Web site, and to the end of March bought 8.16 Beijing-Phnom Penh (CZ323 $ 718/person Guangzhou with stops for departure), 8.29 Ho Chi Minh — Guangzhou — Beijing (CZ368 & CZ3113 $ 1145/person), totals $ 1863/person, children with the price.

I think it is very cost-effective, convenient connecting flights within the country, and airport staff led to the procedure of leave. Is our flights to Beijing Capital Airport delayed 1 hour before the flight, to only 40 minutes after the time machine 7 individuals in airport staff to run and led by the way, managed to successfully complete all formalities and check-in again. Return the original Beijing Guangzhou — set the day of the flight cancelled CZ3113, in Ho Chi Minh airport staff regarding temporary gave me replace the CZ3111 flights boarding card (pm 18: 00, at the time didn't notice). And so we went back to the airport of Guangzhou 3-C15 counter (the Director of the China Southern Airlines check-in counter) and again replaced CZ3109 flights (15: 00 take-off), we save a lot of time to wait.

Phnom Penh-Siem Reap: sit is the MEKONG EXPRESS bus, $ 11 per person (children), the condition can also have the bathroom.

Originally we live only to provide RIVER-STAR HOTEL ANGKOR EXPRESS ($ 8/person), we do not keep this hotel room just replace, impression too bad. Are cancelled in his house and buy the tickets, we own a House lived not far from the small supermarket clause, which you can set of tickets, then you can pick up the ticket, and condemnation.

Siem Reap-Ho Chi Minh: we sit is hang VN82213: 30-14: 30.

$ 140/person $ 110/children, are we to Siem Reap the driver took us to buy. I mainly consider if from Siem Reap – Ho Chi Minh sat coach so nearly 12 hours, our strength is a great challenge, because from the Phnom Penh-Siem Reap's six hours we already feel very uncomfortable, while sitting in the best conditions, MEKONG EXPRESS

Moreover, we also brought his daughter (9 years), so I took a bite, facts prove that day our trip very easily, daughter and husband after breakfast also in the hotel's swimming pool, play, 4 pm we had in Ho Chi Minh's street stroll.

Ho Chi Minh — beautiful Nai: when sitting in the bus SINH CAFÉ, 90.000/person (children), back to Ho Chi Minh's time because living hotel is close to OFFICE T.M BROTHER bought his house SLEEPING BUS, $ 5/person.

But it's not too late, said to be 13: 30 departure, ate the drivers, wait until the fast 14: 00 before departure. To 19: 00.

Accommodation: Phnom Penh: RIVER-STAR HOTEL, website: http://www.riverstarhotel.com/ADDRESS: Building # 185, street 118 corner with Sisowath phnom penh blod, a total of 2 night stay, strongly do not recommend this hotel.

$ 273/day, 4 night stay, domestic payments. Conditions are very good, each day from Angkor sweat back we all want to jump to his home to relax in the swimming pool. Husband's favorite is a kettle in the room, you can drink tea. From the old market, bar street and is close to the night market is, every meal we were strolling back to the hotel. Is it strange that we CHECK IN, the receptionist told me the extra payment every day children are $ 6/day breakfast, we are also recognized. But every time we directly after breakfast in the dining room to the payment of the $ 3/day breakfast. In addition to one morning at Sunrise breakfast didn't when packaged as a child, such as our billing to leave the front desk but also we pay $ 24 for breakfast charges, as there is no communication between the front desk and restaurant, but we note the circumstances no longer want.

We went to the United States when the big Al baggage at his house, et al, from the United States and he came back home, leaving from Ho Chi Minh earlier because of flight is let them transfer to airport for $ 8. If you go to Ho Chi Minh selected family hotel, is a good choice.

Beautiful Nai: live is SUNRISE RESORT. website: www.sunriseresort.com.vn .ADDRESS: 72 Nguyen dinh chieu street, Ham tien ward., this small resort to our family so much surprise so I look for in several of the Web site of the US-Sinai hotel, receive recommendations to select predecessors West Coast Hotel, but the room was expensive, either because a child to pay extra bed costs cheaper without swimming pool (with swimming pool is the children's conditions).

Until you see the hotel, I ask by mail, you have $ 40/3 room (breakfast included). it is in line with my request, and so we have found this small holiday village is really good, very clean, very large room with a large and a small two wooden bed very strong, there is a small fridge can be bought fruit.

Has its own private beach, beach chairs, pool side with chaise, there are several dining table in the middle of the pool and beach, our daily breakfast and lunch are all here to eat, blowing sea breeze, watching the sea, ate breakfast. Cozy! this is in the restaurant do not feel that it is his family buffet breakfast is not, is the point of the menu, each person can only point to a meal and a DRINK. There are probably five varieties it is relatively simple. The staff is very professional and every day the two fan floor glass scrubbed clean, the room cleaning is bare, the whole hotel is very quiet, all guests are quietly on the beach or swimming in a book orThe Sun, we stay in the beautiful Nai 4 days almost all of the hotel, the husband said that this is at the seaside, on the morning of the last day on the beach we also see the local fishermen fishing scenes, let his daughter excited! if shortcomings are his shower head water small. In general this pub is worth I would like to go to beautiful Nai friends passionately recommended! he home OFFICE near BROTHER T.M, walk or less than 5 minutes. So back to Ho Chi Minh's time sat a BROTHER of SLEEPING T.M BUS. Want to go to the beautiful Nai friends to his home to live lives, through the mail can be scheduled, does not require any deposit and the deduction of payment in advance.

Visit: Phnom Penh: only stayed for one day only in the morning and went to the Royal Palace and silver Temple.

Weather very hot and we hurried back to the hotel at noon, to negotiate with the hotels, for the room at noon in the room supplement, afternoon to go to Siem Reap's bus and go to the drugstore central market. Muggy central market, the air is extremely bad. We quickly came out, but go to a house next to the shopping mall, the shopping and eating at the top of the pot. The most important thing is to look at the top level of the city of Phnom Penh, is low, the old House, Phnom Penh, nothing good impression, it seems the palace nearby also.

Siem Reap: because it is free, Angkor Wat tour mainly I bring a book the Cambodia and Angkor Temple "in Beijing have time out to look at, and everywhere the temple I read it to her husband and daughter.

Let the husband and children to enjoy. The driver was when I was in domestic advance, Chinese drivers: jinsha wood meassavuth@yahoo.com, TEL: + 855-12822473. Is a very honest, trustworthy people. Chinese say good night, and now also to study Chinese. I was at home contact him by mail, he will get 3 half day trip to the mailbox. And so I went to Phnom Penh by phone after informing him that I was sitting in the company's bus and time, he would get to the station to meet us. We pack up his CAR 3 and a half days, including pick-up and transfer to airport, 2 day noon lunch break, two morning sunrise (except our own free time), there are half-way took us to buy a ticket, a total of $ 120. August's Siem Reap stuffy wet, we sweat a lot every day, and her husband play said this a few days out of sweat fast to catch a few years out of Khan, also good in the car will be briefly blowing cold air, full with CAR or worthwhile. 3 half days trip is full to his arrangements, not many in here, I shall not repeat them here and her husband are relatively uninhibited, think local drivers experience than us, and all come, courtesy of our trust in him, the whole Galaxy is hard wood, on time and on time. It is worth I recommend to everyone, but he is very busy, I'm ahead 1 1/2 months in advance. To the last day of the walk, have a Taiwan guests Pack to outer ring his car, he did not take us to the airport, but delegate a TUTU car friends to send (and little meets the wish of her daughter sat TUTU), Midway also Cust intimate asked whether we are successfully connected to the head. In a few days to visit frequently to daughter buy a pineapple, Khmer of cookies, we eat bamboo rice, etc, we are back to please him, let him go and eat local hot-pot. Finally we gave $ 125. In short a few days in Siem Reap, we had a good time.

Here also to go to Siem Reap friends sincerely say, never with the group!, Angkor Wat beauty your heart to feel quietly.

In women the Palace we encounter group tours, see mood all the time. See Angkor's sunset time all tours are gone, they left in Angkor is more fit to witness the splendor of the sunset, setting sun sun shines on Angkor temple on a working day, around the camera quickly pressing the shutter, and only a short period of less than ten minutes of Angkor Temple will also restore the original color, there are high Dobbs bin and disintegrating mealea, tours to tourist attractions, while the two spots I identified as subject to Angkor, essence, watching the day many so many temples and frescoes, the eyes are somewhat aesthetic fatigue. While both of these attractions is a bit like in the original forest adventure that makes people excited again. The collapse of schools across the dense column, let my daughter also feeling the original there are so broken for schools, we took away from the domestic some pencils and Eraser, gave the children, there are schools that from Scotland volunteers, 20 years old young man I admire.

Ho Chi Minh: on the city's most impressive is the motorcycle too much, to participate in the Mekong tour guide that 900 million people, over 600 million motorcycle.

We spent 2 days in total. Participated in the CAFÉ Mekong tour SINH, 210.000/person. The general feeling that her husband's ancient Shiba authentic half days are too lazy to go again. The rest of the day are we holding maps to urban areas the attractions go again, also very random, tired and went to parkson upstairs drink beverage break. Noon meet rain in SAIGON CENTRE of frontage of coffee over a cup of coffee to enjoy the city view. The evening went to Penang market generally at the edge of the night market buy something for your family.

Us-Sinai: Sinai is a quiet, rustic town that folkway is also very simple.

Not too much entertainment, here let people at ease. We almost every day in the hotel, with beautiful Nai half-day tour went, we rented at the hotel two bikes (20.000/car) take the child to ride a SINH CAFÉ direction. According to a few like that in the East of SINH CAFÉ a market to buy some fruit. Every day we take the children on the beach and swimming pool alternately playful, or on the couch and enjoy the Sun and the sea breeze.

Eat: Phnom Penh: nothing to recommend, because they stay for a day, evening and went to the central market House next to the shopping centre's top ate a good meal hot pot, nothing special.

Siem Reap: mainly in the old market and the bar street eat because of amoke series is not used, normally we point 2

A FRID series of fried vegetables, rice is free to add, and then a cup of coffee or SHAKE, General $ 10/piece. In the "forest gold" ate the meal, environment in General. Cheaper but he's skeptical of health conditions. Also ate the meal KFC, taste weird.

Ho Chi Minh: mainly PHO24 and PHO2000, her husband and daughter likes to eat, think PHO24 environment than PHO2000 slightly better point, as if each bowl of rice prices are more expensive than PHO2000 1000-2000 guilders.

There are a lot of stall, the night market is also having a lot of foreigners in eating, you can try.

Beautiful Nai: is a family of three of the most interesting of stuttering.

This is mainly thanks to the BOKE House SEA FOOD meal, we in the United States is in the SUNRISE each day Nye Beach ate a light breakfast, midday Brighton fruit meal to focus of pitaya, watermelon, and then to 4 p.m. after a half bath, along the beautiful Nai only one path to BOKE House for SEA FOOD meal, BOKE of open gears are hard to find, in the OFFICE from T.M BROTHER go my way, SINH CAFÉ seemed to leave the OFFICE closer to T.M, we walked from SUNRISE RESORT probably 10 minutes away, just across the street, where you can see the sea, in the beautiful NAI's three in the afternoon we went to eat the seafood is fresh and also very cheap, daughter likes to eat his scallops BBQ, dip mixed up with lemon juice and pepper, then a locals eat leaves Pack (I feel like pepper leaf), eat into mouth taste very good. Her husband is on his family's fish pot (FISH HOT SPOT) praise, a fine kettle of fish soup with a charcoal stove served, proprietress of a plate of rice noodles and a dish of vegetables, rice noodles pour fish soup, sweet fresh whole account, and then drink the fish soup and eat fish, vegetables, like vegetables hot pot. The last day we eat a fish pot, a dish of scallops with BBQ, a plate of fried prawns with soft, steamed 2 live crabs, a total of only 273000 shield (RMB 110 million). Let us feel very values, each finished are belly drum drum and back to the hotel, go back on the road and then take the first 2 days of fruit bought at noon, and of course the hotel also sells (didn't buy too don't know price). Maybe BOKE House seafood gave us the impression was so good that we worked for 3 days to go to his home to eat, you might also eat I can only recommend the place to go. His house every day at 4 p.m. opening, female boss English better than the men who, mainly responsible for guests. Want to go to the beautiful Nai holiday friends have to taste his seafood.

Shopping: Cambodia: Siem Reap major shopping is at night, Phnom Penh central market didn't go in, too messy! Siem Reap's old market is a mess, Siem Reap's night market environment better limited, scarves offer $ 4, $ 2 transaction, bought 5; Ms. package price of $ 15, $ 8 close, bought 1; bear the name bracelet Cambodia bid $ 1/a, $ 1/2 a deal.

Siem Reap's *: $ 1.5/kg, expensive than the supermarket in Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh I in SUPERMARKET-bought fresh mangosteen LUCY as many only $ 0.8, whereas in Siem Reap to my $ 1.5.

Viet Nam: mainly in Ho Chi Minh's Penang market and night night market to family bought.

Daughter of a Mayele offer 250.000 shield, shield deal; husband 100.000 round neck and short sleeves (chest with 3 capsules buckle) offer 180.000 shield, 80.000 contract; Dad's belt offer 410.000 shield, shield deal; wooden 260.000 of Viet Nam girls offer 260.000 shield, Ms. 85.000 deal; silk surface package offer 180.000 shield/a, 170.000 shield/2 transactions;

Coffee: for the first time in Penang market to buy, buy 1000g, 425.000 shield, last transaction to 260.000; however careful clerk switching, we are all about good price after was about to pay, the little girl is going to put a package offer low coffee-we pack a little expensive coffee, we stopped in time.

The second is bought at the night market, 200.000 shield/500g, last 130.000 shield deal. By Viet Nam's shopping experience is to price pressure in the lower, the better, and think that I bought there is also the price of the room. Just my limited ability.

Exchange rate: Cambodia: no need to replace the local currency, dollar General, just less than $ 1 to you real, is basically a $ 1: 4000 Riel.

Viet Nam: Basic is 1 USD: 17819 shield, we at the airport for a maximum 1: 17850, basic in Ho Chi Minh City is within 1: 17819, but is limited to the greater than or equal to $ 50 denominations, small denominations of the exchange rate is very low.

We want to trade in the United States and Nigeria $ 20, asked T.M OFFICE, is 1: 17000, we live in the hotel front desk for just 1: 17800, so we better impression SUNRISE RESORT. Then superimpose in Ho Chi Minh for $ 15, the exchange rate was less than 17000, is the most kitchen sink once.

These are our family in Cambodia and Vietnam 14 days travel summary, hoping to go to the local friends provide some recommendations and reminders.

This would also like to thank the many ctrip predecessors, I give up before leaving a lot of help.
