A very unusual view of the “Baie d’Along”. How long were you in Vietnam?

I was there for about 3 weeks, starting in Hoi An and working my way north. I loved the place and will definitely return

Asia pulls you doesn’t it? We’ve just been there for over 3 weeks. From Singapore to Penang, Bangkok and Angkor. Left Vietnam and Laos for another occasion. 🙂

I loved what I saw of Vietnam. I’m hoping Cambodia and Burma next time.
But this year I’m heading further north to Korea and Japan
