Two days ago: Thailand. Yesterday: Cambodia. Today: Vietnam.
Unfortunately, the last leg of our Southeast Asia trip got cut short because of Tet, the Vietnamese version of Chinese New Year. Essentially, everything in the country shuts down during this holiday, including most forms of transportation. Our original plan for Vietnam was to take a train from Ho Chi Minh City northwards, taking stops in Nha Trang and Hoi An until we hit Hanoi. But because of the holiday, we would have been stuck in Nha Trang for over a week. On top of that, train ticket prices for the week after Tet were astronomically high. Having to leave early was upsetting, because I desperately wanted to see Halong Bay.
Anyway, enjoy!

Yesterday I posted my Thailand photos. Today I’m posting my Cambodia photos. I was in the land of Angkor Wat from February 1 to 6 as part of my Chinese New Year break. During the trip, my group traveled to Siem Reap and saw the famous Angkor temples. We also ventured out to Phnom Penh to learn about the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime. Some of the most powerful photos, towards the end, were taken at the infamous S-21 prison.
Update: Here’s a separate slideshow for just Angkor Wat photos (all of which can be found in the Cambodia slideshow):

I’m really really behind on this, but my photos from my trip to Thailand earlier this year have been posted. I was in Bangkok just a month and a half before the violent protests started.
