I had breakfast at the hostel with my own bread and bananas. Lately, I’ve been feeling lonely in Siem Reap. I feel like I have no concrete friends to turn to; like I’m just floating around and I have no anchor holding me down. Like I could just float anywhere and no one would be … More 4/4/18: Last Day In Siem Reap
I made breakfast at my hostel with my mango, muesli, and soy milk. One of the hostel staff members saw me with my soy milk and told me to stop drinking it because it’s bad for me. I told him I disagreed, and we got in a bit of an argument. He pulled up all … More 3/14/18: Final Night In Vietnam
I woke up feeling ok– the bloating was gone– so I went for a run. It was REALLY hot and humid and not so pleasant. I ran 7 miles (see my route here). I ran through Tao Dan Park for the last bit of my run, which was nice. I saw people doing tai chi, working … More 3/12/18: Salsa Lessons In Saigon
I didn’t do much today. I went to An Cafe, bought an overpriced mango/strawberry smoothie, and blogged. I went to Thien Duyen, a local vegetarian place, for lunch. I ate pho. I met up with Kaitlyn and Seine, two of my dormmates, to explore the Crazy House. It’s a building made by the same architect … More 3/10/18: Energy Dip
My breakfast at the hostel included bread, eggs, fruit, cereal, milk, and coffee. I gave my eggs away to Kaitlyn, who said they “tasted caged,” which I thought was pretty hilarious (in a sad way). Bellies full, Kaitlyn and I went to town to get the bus to Lang Biang mountain. At first we weren’t … More 3/8/18: Brutal Hike In Da Lat
We arrived in Da Lat at 10 am, after 16 hours on the bus. Kaitlyn, Jacky Melissa and I walked to hostel together (we were all at the same hostel in Hoi An and all booked the same hostel in Da Lat by chance). On our walk over, I ran into a German guy, Bjorn, … More 3/7/18: Feeling Cozy In Da Lat
This is my third “how much I spent while traveling” post. Read my first two: how much I spent Thailand & how much I spent Myanmar. Bed at Tribee Bana: $8 I really like this hostel. It’s clean, the staff is really nice and helpful, and they have a bunch of free events & tours … More 3/4/18: How Much I Spent Today In Hoi An (Vietnam)
I started the day with a run to Long Bien Bridge and back. I had bookmarked the bridge as something to see based on online recommendations, but the bridge was kind of gross. I saw a lot of roadkill, and the river it goes over was really dirty. I got back and had my usual breakfast: … More 2/20/18: Missing Human Interaction
