I know it’s been a long time since my last post – almost two months – but I’m ready to get back to a more regular posting schedule. We’ve been incredibly busy with the sale of our current home, buying a new home, traveling, and planning for the move. 

However, I still think of our Southeast Asia honeymoon frequently and have so much more I want to share. Being the foodies that we are, we went on a nighttime food tour while we were in Bangkok and it was a great way to experience a bit of the city during our very short visit there. We had a funny, lively and charming guide who was passionate about food and excited to share traditional Thai dishes with our group.

We left Pnomh Penh for Vietnam December 27th and immediately noticed a difference in the scenery as we drove through the country to Saigon. It was much cleaner in that there was less trash along the road and storefronts, and things seemed a bit newer. It makes sense since it seems that Vietnam is more of a developing country and Cambodia is still a third-world country. Even from the window of the bus, it appeared there was more infrastructure in place in Vietnam.
