Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Tu Duc's tomb



The Vietnamese are really friendly - once you get past the people who are trying to con you. I guess you find people in every country trying to make a quick fix. But I think people are good by default. I've yet to meet a community of people who are mean.



So I was looking around for an adapter (I did not bother to bring the one I bought on my travels around continental Europe because I thought everywhere in southeast Asia would use the standard three-pin socket), and I popped into this proper mobile phone shop with two young attending ladies. After conveying my message, they actually gave me one for free! I don't even know what force was working to my advantage back there.



That night itself, we met up with couchsurfer Cang and his friends who took us out for Hue's specialty. Maybe karma does exist after all?
