Brunei was a very fun detour from our time in Malaysia.  It was a bit difficult to get to but we enjoyed being virtually the only tourists, and spending a day at the Jerudong Park – at the time a completely empty amusement park (almost post-apocalyptic!) modeled after Disneyland

Cambodia was a real treat.  We only visited Siem Reap to see the Angkor Wat area, but were amazed at the kindness of everyone we met and would love to go back one day.…

China is one of our favourite countries.  We had a great time traveling around, we were treated very well as independent backpackers, and really enjoyed the sights.  The food was wonderful and the prices were low.…

After visiting China, we found Vietnam a little disappointing.  While the nature was beautiful, there wasn’t the same wealth of cultural sights, and the traffic in Saigon and Hanoi was just a little too much for us to really enjoy our time there.…
