  • Sick! I want to be able to do one of these one day. Also, check out where the ending video was filmed ;) http://t.co/E3k76mwv #

  • Wicked photo from NASA. Two crescents: Venus and the Moon http://t.co/78YS4EM3 #

  • Off the beaten track I go. Riding through Vietnam on the Ho Chi Minh trail, dirt and mountainous roads. See ya #
  • Nearly got into so many accidents already. Ho Chi Minh is a death trap for motorists. At least I'm out now! http://t.co/WZS20D7A #
  • Lost my water bottle. The one that has accompanied me on all of my trips so far. Oops :( #
  • People in Can Tho are so much nicer than those in HCMC. They still try to rip you off though, but at least they smile back at you. http://yf #
  • No other foreigners in sight since I got here. Also, found this little lake in the middle of the city. http://t.co/3MC8vcQg #
  • This is a typical reststop in Vietnam. http://t.co/AuISIzll #
  • A twn whre theres only 1 or 2 hotel is a plce few trvlrs go. Ppl here don't speak a word of English & all the bttr http://t.co/SVRrGcHC #
  • Damn. I can't take my motorbike across the Vietnam-China border. Also, here's a rough plan for my Vietnam mototrip – http://t.co/oWtvYpIB #
  • I've been eating Pho for almost every meal since I've gotten here. That includes breakfast. I can't get enough. http://t.co/7wh8lIxi #
  • I've never seen so much blood in my life. Eery how many scenes of a road accident here always has blood on the concrete and one lone slipper #
  • Go to the Ben Duoc instead of Ben Dinh for the Cu Chi tunnels if you want to go where the locals go. No foreigners in sight! #
  • Well then, I'm a complete ditz. Lost one of my leather gloves today when riding. #
  • Suddenly there's a thunderstorm and I'm stuck sitting inside a convenience store waiting it out. I can see how these places flood so easily. #
  • Here's a photo of the thunderstorm. http://t.co/nxfTM5Ed #
  • I need all of my clothes to be quick dry. http://t.co/cSSQ3oxF #
  • Great feeling waking up, going to a nearby street stall & drink great coffee to prepare u for the rest of the day http://t.co/Cu3f8YTV #
  • It's an incredible feeling riding through a road cut through the forest where the temperature sways +/- 10 degrees in a split second. #
  • Well it started pouring rain. Forced to stop at a restaurant. Hope the rain stops soon… http://t.co/rvjC5e7s #
  • Also, stopping early today. I can see thunderclouds slowly creeping by. Too bad! Crocodile Lake will have to wait. http://t.co/biaTDXdq #
  • So I just realize the insect I saw in the Ho Chi Minh under passage is a whip scorpion. Good thing it's not dangerous though it sprays acid. #
  • Just signed up for a wikitravel account. I think I'll finally contribute to it! #
  • Omg, first time eating green veggies since I got to Vietnam. So happy :) http://t.co/EiJ24Adm #
  • Holy crap this is some good rice! /meaningless_update #
  • I can't wait until we have more commercialized nanotech. Stuff like this will change the world http://t.co/e8mUcARg #
  • Going downhill on a mountain is not when I want my brakes to stop working! The nearest town is still a ways ahead. http://t.co/iwZZ5f8V #
  • Today did not go smoothly. Had to get my rear brakes replaced and my route hasn't been built yet! Lost at least 2 hours with the detour. #
  • Another beautiful and quaint city in Vietnam. I really like the city planning in this country. http://t.co/C9VLo7GZ #
  • I'm eating vegetarian food today! http://t.co/WqDjdQy1 #
  • Vietnamese people in general have some serious difficulty in extrapolating meaning behind my hand gestures. They always ignore the context! #
  • About half of them uses the turn signal to signal the opposite direction of where they actually intend to go http://t.co/OkTHZus2 #
  • I like Vietnam but I dislike the people. There's a disproportionate amount of greedy, lazy and rude people. http://t.co/GHpFLfqU #
  • "thx so much for your email.hihihihi.you right.welcome to your hotel every time.have a nice trip.see you my friend hihihihi.see you later." #
  • That was the email sent to me by a Vietnamese hotel staff in response to me asking for my mail to be delivered to their address. hihihihi #

  • Living with a Laos family during Songkran has opened my eyes to their culture. The behavior of young adults here is the most surprising. #
  • I’ve been drunk every night for the past 3 days now. Laos people during Songkran are nuts. I actually enjoyed dancing with the locals! #
  • I can eat beef rice noodle all day long. Aw yeah. I don't think I can get sick of eating this stuff! #
  • This is the most planning I've ever done for a trip. For once, it doesn't feel like a chore. This is going to be an epic +2 months. #

  • Having a taste of Global Warming – the ice cream flavor. http://t.co/Jqwr231R #
  • Travelling in Asia, I realize how advanced some "less-developed" countries are. Some places are even more developed than North America. #
