Boring Mekong tour
I leave early in the room, the luggage at the front desk.
All the way to go, sinh café still see some pieces back in Angkor were familiar faces, smile nods, if not improbable in another town, a few surface of edge be born out of this kind.
Sinh café entrance, car into a long queue of people waiting for the bus, is crowded streets.
The nearby restaurant to wantonly price increases, bread expensive believable. Fortunately, the time it is still early, never tolerate such devious, walk to the hotel near the bread spread, long staff of bread, can clamp sausage, cheese or fried eggs, price 3000 guilders to 4000 shields. Bought one, a few slices of sausage, and sprinkle the fish sauce with chili sauce tomato, cucumber, a meal to eat vegetables, probably worth the amount of the previous days. Think of yesterday that gnawing a day of dry bread, xinchoujiuhen floodingback, quickly will attest to this and other delicious in-place.
7: 30, the departure time.
At the front of the car and keep left, still haven't seen waving the Mekong tour of font size, ask the person sinh café many times, again, and so on. Also hear someone beside Windows greets from, the original is our day flying Kung elain them, already sat Mae public tour of the car. I was specially, so a group of people, from Phnom Penh a plane went their separate ways, but common today on the Mekong river trip, but from their last night too greedy, arrived at the Mae public sinh café tour of mission already overcrowded, not only with the Mission of TM BROTHERS, otherwise to
You can join on the River.
And so the waiting people walked almost, our car is coming.
In Viet Nam the annual Spring Festival holiday, this city still immersed in an atmosphere of leisure.
Red flag fluttering seen everywhere, but few open shop. Just the street, as always, crowded, blazing fast motor occupy so fierce posture, the cart can only try best to trumpet of ultra high-decibel of spite.
While waiting for the bus when I couldn't wait, this did not sit for half a day really can't.
11: 20 parking, a craft their seat to sit down.
Turbid river water, the shore beside the House, close to the River rhythm rhythm rock boat, with Oriental face simplicity boat child. Sat morning car, and finally, here are some gentle, mouth reservoirs hold smile full of looking forward to the upcoming Mae public-tour.
If the short wait, be regarded as carrying the feelings of the brewing, but dry, and so on more than 20 minutes later, just feel anger was trying to find the tour accounts.
In the café blitzed sinh, this tour and tour of the mission, sharing two cars.
Just now the guide told us on board, with the rest of the body and the return of tourists, leaving behind was «the local youth, not only in a different language, but also an innocent face.
11: 50, do another car came afeng they got into the boat, two ships do full, finally able to start.
Ask the original while their car has always been ahead, but because the driver with one of them causes lost girls chat, full-circle to find quickly. With this old land chat to get lost, the charm of Chinese MM visible, as in Viet Nam.
Waves cut River, Mekong River journey begins in disappointment.
The first station to go to see the process of making rice paper, at first listen to really iffy, but still there are the expensive paper, simply is a calligrapher of the Gospel.
Shore walking into the family of humble shed, a large group of people surrounded-cranes made chicken skin of the old woman, she will be a spoonful of rice paste, and then flipping into pizza lifted air in bamboo baskets, into a translucent round full moon. See here, the same as the Oriental we rely on a solid foundation of life, the guess the clues of the bar, on the Guide still to take the benefit of hindsight, "said: this is a skin, Viet Nam, spring rolls.
Catch a morning after seeing the above situation, don't get busy with inverted, the Guide still warm up anything you like try.
Small vegetable market in Mount spring rolls with leather, the streets of package pancake sell package feet cloth, although commonplace, really disadvantages are exposed, like try really didn't do much like a presentable. Westerners to be reserved to our mentioned fans and drivers of UC 78 MM, and roll up their sleeves, demonstration of traditional virtues of Oriental women. Vaguely also had some pizza, mortgage after the dough. This is a poor surface being soiled old too open for all stages of soy sauce, or no to Hospice. She was not ashamed, laughs later a Taiwan wife, even the dough is made.
Farewell to the home of the spring rolls with leather, the next station, even poetic good name was also declining.
Put rice and heated sand with burst open, plus into liquid of sugar syrup, embossing and cut into pieces. Still eat the stuff in China to more unrefined. A cup of tea, sugar, sat on a popcorn, foreigner pondering over dinner, mood around, watched the time already had 12 points, but can only rely on these free food first cushion pad belly.
If it is not a positive value of the Spring Festival, water market landscape should be very spectacular.
Unfortunately, today, only a few, with a watermelon pumpkin boat, not the original shengshi texture, from mooted, if not a guide to remind, unconsciously they missed most worth looking forward to today.
Day 3-pole, finally ushered is said to be a Viet Nam flavor lunch.
The shore that family, the Windows of the wood carving, eaves of red lanterns, it really was a very Oriental, busy, up on the shore have to take a guided tour, how to have it next to the fork. Along more narrow river, is planted with vegetation of the quiet little restaurant. Gazebo by the purple flower silhouettes, cage bird colorful talks, don't have a turn country flavor, finally didn't let us this group had lost two more convinced that through heart cool.
Table five people sitting, typical Viet Nam restaurant menu as follows: three root and Southeast Asia were generally small spring rolls, a longtime torture water evaporators dry roast pork ribs, some apparently green after war
Losing the yellow upper hand staves, bean, a small pile of soil strong rice, plus a bowl not see content but tasty soup of exception.
To drink yourself to pay, each table a plate of fruit fall is also one of the free content.
At the same table only a foreigner, in stop the knife and fork and rice's difficult struggle, start talking with us.
For today's farmhouse tour, he may not like the US complained, but also gently tell us they yesterday in Hoa sacred and ancient Shiba authentic tour, its taste is only limited to history.
Half day trips for a half-day of the Holy Land visit Hoa, sounds really poor, balancing our discontent.
14: 30, get round to leave the hotel, although not dare butt down journey then reported to expect, at least for curbing hunger, don't expect it to end.
The last station, visit coconut sugar production process.
In humble small workshop in taste the coconut passed sugar, thought of the day is coming to an end, or buy back a souvenir. Side pocket on one side and sighs, hardly doubt yourself is not participated in the Mission of Hainan's shopping. While sad, purse $ 1 coins in the fall, I do not know where, in order to tumble shield a pack of 8000 sugar, lose about 1 800 guilders, on pain of cutting and pain.
Next stop is a visit to the coconut sugar processing, crude bamboo booths but suffuse, makes you have purchased, trance-thought it was participated in Hainan shopping tours.
Pay when you accidentally lost $ 1 coins, a shield with 8000 packets of sugar, usually negligible amounts, suddenly raised to the height of 1800 shield weakened, not then have a counting the solid pain.
Thus, today in the Mekong River, on a journey to an end.
Ship-shore, the Guide let us finally visit the land market. Memory in Shanghai old small farms, but so, brilliant but let people telling you they have to feel a twinge. Say it with nothing, just like today visited all places, perhaps interesting, but not worth spending the whole day.
Leave the car still have some time and sit in the open-air cafés along the River, take out little book or vent.
Lunch of the foreigner is sitting beside me, smiled and asked me to do as just mentioned, to complain to the LP complaints. So I also couldn't help but laugh, angry at Cadence.
He coffee from spilling a drop in the Cup a trickling filter to the glass, gives out simple environment not phase contrast of incense.
When the aroma of coffee began drifting, bring the headphones, mellow voice inside Lovelight gleams low asking: are we really happy in this lonely game we play?
Elections take recordings, this Valentine's theme song, is today's preferred.
You cannot expect today belong in the sunlight, the hem on eyes blue qiaolan Oriental men. Just all the novels and movies, as the legendary River, creating a beautiful but sad atmosphere.
Searching for the answer, we are lost in this field in the masquerade.
How do we hide the Masque, camouflage for too long, I do not know how to do it for.
And all the colors of the imaginary, the Mekong's Masque, is we have to wear it yixiangqingyuan, then refused to drop.
For those moments-sur-happening story, we have no interest, born of woman, ordinary firm depends on without us.
We believe that beauty is a day through the wooden gaps wisps of light, with mature men's polite not age of exotic girl stubborn obsession with eyes, and all with regret the tragic end of love.
Perhaps we are looking for is a mask that followed the story of the ubiquitous, but lost the title of the romantic, poignant and loses for Halo around the container.
Turbid river water on afloat duckweed, bloom purple hyacinth-like flowers.
If you did not expect that the real will of the Mekong River with these small charming details to me moved?
More than 20 years of experience, have not yet novel old Shanghai brilliance of the mystery, the hours of the Mekong River journey, the staggered in time and space in time, how can they reach.
Back to Saigon, hear from the mission that TM Brothers, was the most fun is watching monkeys.
Think of us for dinner and getting off the rest see Python orangutan thrush, don't know, I thought we were going to visit the Zoo.
But then elain they said the tour had a great time though.
Specifically how good although it is not clear, just changed many transport, all kinds of boats are sitting up. And a small village, child turned out that folkway simplicity of a smile, so they moved. But before I heard the famous Vietnamese jungle, but is not satisfactory, see who focus on the lift.
Saigon Nha Trang
19: 10, finally went back to Saigon café, of sinh 20: 00 to Nha car departure before, there are a lot of things waiting to be done.
In the ancient sinh café back Chicago 1-day ticket, although loss of 10%, but was too late.
Today's Mekong tour, the scenery is also not Surrey cave Lake, it is a waste of our positive from reading, listening to music in good mood, has always been Word-good sinh café lost confidence. Midway as the waiting while the delay time, but in places of work in a hurry, time is earlier than the scheduled return, be regarded as a misfortune, to go to the hotel took some luggage, left little time to fill the stomach.
The roadside stalls to eat fried rice noodle of others recommended, 6000 shield, very tasty, and think there really can be regarded as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, so the roadside a casually's little supply of cheap rice still lying in a prawn.
Then back to the gate, sinh café for the NHA's car has filled most.
The overnight train to more expensive than the car during the day 1 $, that is a sleeper, the window at found that everybody was sitting, heart and a cool, this eight-hourDo sit down and really not fun.
Air-conditioning is still very poor, and to depart before the full turbid, air con, increasingly hot.
Put on headphones, his isolation in music. In the car have a free coupon, car window remains busy.
Still do not see a feast for the eyes of Viet Nam beauty, they hide in the riddle face behind a mask.
Still in the arms of the children, with a long yarn hood, since small cages in mystery. Although not seen temples, but modern monk sat on a motorcycle, with wool hat, in Angkor see children with this hat is surprised, want to come but their brains need special protection, most are expensive.
Many of the signs is the sign of urbanization, weird Ruby way, familiar letters out of impermanence.
No Chinese, few understand English, in the city although for two days, to me, is still unknown.
Roadside open-air cafes, even the surrounding trees are hung up in the lights, flashing a vague outline, in the night fade simple coat.
Those light projection of the sky, stars, night, under Hui ying died in early morning light.
Windows Mobile landscape, heavy eyelids, tired beat all uncomfortable seat position, the Chair will still be able to sleep.
Probably all full 8 hour journey is expected, every two hours, will stop and rest.
Only the cars stopped, only a little air conditioning to be rested, sultry always wake up from obscurity.
12 o'clock, second time stops, as usual, down Active breathable.
Fatigue with dry heat of battle, victory or defeat. Drivers into the alongside small hotel, it appears that this break is half of salaries. The hotel has lost no time in the table and put many chaise, sit in comfort, they'll buy the drinks and food also. Many people point out the mountain hot rice noodles, beef, even the night appetite be watching feel satisfied the palate. The fried rice noodles, Sai Kung, said to also support a lot of time watching other people eat sweet, very much like to ask if it is not unlike the domestic parking spot hotel, expensive and hard to swallow?
This night, from hot tempting rice flour on the go open eyes, more attractive, but the sky full of stars.
See constellation of distribution, forget the Moon azimuth, everything is just a star studded with.
No special bright talented, confused and variety, can be seen everywhere, mutual Hui ying, is a bustling reunion. Living in the desert, though you can soar over to this piece, Nebula, nowhere to avoid, in the heart of the first was born out of some inexplicable. Their beauty, belongs only to the sky belongs to the wilderness, the quiet, ignite and fall, and who without stem. Some of the heartache, the sky is expected to reach the night elves, to me staring watching, can disrupt their privacy.
One hour after departure, steal quiet in the night sky of stars, quietly noise in the dark quiet compartments in the eyes, thinking that they were drunk I wake up alone.
Like a coach, feel that the process itself is the fun of travel.
Enjoy your comfortable position, on a window on another yourself with Walkman music on the chat, the scenery along the way, is the busiest time of the decorations, is lonely narration; when is the focus of the eyes to sustenance, is in the mood to relax. Always feel isolated in the Windows world, mobile and wonderful; isolation in music in mind, there are not subject to interruptions.
Always wanted a solitary travel, surrounded by strangers, but with a slight fear and excitement, you can expect some surprises.
However this time travel, there are familiar around total sight and sound, often forgotten in a foreign land. But now, you can still listen to music, listen to the voices of the deepest of my heart.
