Funny things that happened during my TransIndochina trip 2010

Well after some time off in my blog....I shall return with more journal in my blog! Here is one of it:-

During my first ever back pack trip in Indochina....some unforgettable incident occurred like these:-

1) Our log book/ journal of our trip lost and found in the LCCt terminal. Found on top of the X-ray scanner!

2) Our flight to Ho Chin Minh city was delayed due to some technical glitches but we arrived at Saigon on time and safely!

3) I lost my hotel access card at a road side beef noodle restaurant in Saigon.....rush back and found that the staff actually keep it! OMG....I am so @#$%% happy to get it back!

4) One unlucky woman tourist has her handbag snatched by motorcyclist right in front of my eyes in Saigon distrcit 1!! She yelled like hell but......This is Vietnam......common!! be-careful when u r in Vietnam! 

5) We rush like hell from Siem Reap, Cambodia to Vientiane, Laos by pass Thailand with car, bus, tuk-tuk and bus again for more than 12 hours only to realize at the end of the day, we miss theborder crossing time and force to stay in Udon Thani.

6) Our journey from Vientiane to Vang Vieng in Laos....is not without untoward incident......our #$%^& reckless driver knocked down a Laotian lady....rush her to the nearest hospital and I hope she is alright by now!

7) 200km jouney inside a Hyundai MPV through winding, twisting & hilly road brought us to Luang Prabang from Vang Vieng. One of the most dangerous ride in my life....and I am glad to survive it unscathed! One of the most scenic ride though! MUST TRY!!

These are some of the incidents that I remembered clearly....I believed at the end of the day...I am more that happy to write it here for viewing and sharing! One of the best trip in my life YET!
