Another blogger looking to promote a blog and make money in the meantime. The LP is getting riddled with this crap and its best to just ask for them to be deleted by the Moderators.

@#1 agree Solo....yawn..read 1% of it and got bored.
Title should be "How to suck Eggs for Dummies"
Your description is spot on!

Bored? Were we reading the same blog? It was amazing. The author said some things that I will not be able to get out of my head for a long time. Like...

"Because we didn't want to carry our suitcases around Hong Kong, we checked them all the way through from Anchorage to Saigon, and only took daypacks with a change of clothes for the Hong Kong part of the trip."

Intense!

I know it was a feat few manage with such precise skill in Hong Kong. You know, not to brag, but I flew from Shanghai to Shengzen China, at 930am, took a bus to the HK border, a train to downtown HK, had lunch and went up to Victoria Peak, crossed the bay on a boat, did some sightseeing, and train back to border, bus back to airport, had dinner, and flew back to Shanghai, at 730, and didnt even have a daypack, just the clothes on my back, not even a guidebook, my wife didn't even know about it...Blog That! (Visa Run)

Did I tell the time I was stranded in London during a snowstorm? Have a seat...

Wait for the next blog. He may have photos of his underwear and toothbrush (not sure how they are linked). Also wait ,with bated breath, for descriptions of every item of clothing of packed into the suitcase and he colour of his socks.

the original plan for this trip was to go to Iceland and visit other Greenhouses

I'm off to subscribe to the Iceland branch where my breath will be bated until what looks like an even more exciting and thrilling episode comes out.

Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!

OP: Glad you enjoyed the trip, but...

''We had purchased the multiple re-entry Visas which allow you to exit and re-enter Vietnam multiple times''
You are kidding...

''The toilet paper is pink throughout Vietnam''
Why are you telling us this?
