Off we go!

Well, we’ve been in Vietnam since the 22nd of October. To be honest, it hasn’t been easy on us. It’s been a mix of reasons, and while I won’t solely blame our troubles on this, the fact we are an interracial couple (with me being Asian) has proven to be difficult here. However, that’s not why we’re leaving… the floods in northern Vietnam (and the promise of more rain) mean that we just don’t have the stamina to deal with wading through knee-deep water.

So, we’re off to Laos now. We will be arriving in Savannakhet in about 10 hours. I’m really excited about Laos because I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, though we might not have internet access for weeks… Off we go!
