The Prettiest Train Ride I Slept Through
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 19 December 2010
Vietnam is a bigger country than most people expect, and backpackers will at some point find themselves traversing from one length to the other on some form of time-quickening transport—plane (for those who didn’t go bust in Hoi An), or … Continue reading →The Prettiest Train Ride I Slept Through is a post from: Nilikuta Shani

A Feast On The Table
Blog: Ottsworld - 24 November 2010
It’s Thanksgiving and that means Americans all over the world are giving thanks and stuffing their faces with turkey. Every time Thanksgiving rolls around, I fondly reminisce about the time I was in Sydney Australia for Thanksgiving and was treated to an amazing turkey and stuffing feast. Plus the strange and inexplicable dinner entertainment of [...]

Finishing the Journey/ A word of warning
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 9 July 2010
If the past three posts on this subject of motorcycle touring through Vietnam’s Central Highland region are any indication, I loved that trip more than any other experience I’d had in Vietnam yet. The Central Highlands are such an incredibly … Continue reading →Finishing the Journey/ A word of warning is a post from: Nilikuta Shani

A Boozy Sunday Brunch/ You want me to eat what?
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 6 July 2010
I thought I had learned all about Vietnamese food before my trip to Vietnam. Cookbooks and restaurant visits taught me that the Vietnamese are adventurous when it comes to eating: anything that crawls, slithers, grunts, or howls goes into the … Continue reading →A Boozy Sunday Brunch/ You want me to eat what? is a post from: Nilikuta Shani

Days 2-5, Motorcycling Through Vietnam
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 1 July 2010
By the third day of my Central Highlands motorcycle tour—after two gentle days of worry free cruising, after learning about the Vietnamese countryside from the local perspective—I start to see why this area is so significant in current Vietnamese society.

Something is vibrating between my legs
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 23 June 2010
It’s not what you think. Somewhere along the four-hour bus trip between Saigon and the hillside town of Da Lat, I decided to try my hand at motorcycle touring. Admittedly, I have never driven a motorcycle, and had ridden one … Continue reading →Something is vibrating between my legs is a post from: Nilikuta Shani

What to expect in a Vietnamese Restaurant
Blog: Ottsworld - 16 June 2010
Going out to eat at a restaurant is easy, right? …not always. Often when you find yourself in other countries, even though there’s a waiter, a table, you are putting food in your mouth, and there’s a bill – there are many things that can be vastly different. As I lived in Vietnam there [...]

Eat Bugs, Grasshopper
Blog: The Heather Report - 26 April 2010
I’ve always wanted to visit Dalat. Lonely Planet describes it as "Bizarro Vietnam" leaving me feeling that a trip to Vietnam would not be complete without a tour of Dalat. Dena was luckily open to the idea and off we went. After landing at the airport, with trees outside still covered in Christmas ornaments, we boarded a bus for the half hour ride through the hills to the Central Highlands town of Dalat. After humid, rainy and cold Cat Ba, the dry, pine scented air of the hills was a welcome relief.

Tap, Tap, Tapioca
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 22 January 2010
1/11/10: Central Highlands, Vietnam It was our third jam-packed day in a row, and I think we all know by now that I hate jam. So as great as our Easy Riders tour has been, Zhou and I are both ready to get back to our bread and butter of getting nothing accomplished. Before we do [...]

1/10/10: Central Highlands, Vietnam K: When you write today’s post, are you going to write about the kid peeing on the floor? Z: I hadn’t planned on it. K: Oh. I would write a whole post about that. Z: I know you would. K: So will you include it? Z: I don’t know, it didn’t seem that strange to me. K: Why, [...]

Tastes Like… Silkworm
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 20 January 2010
1/9/10: Central Highlands, Vietnam I ate a silkworm today. … I was debating ending the post there – it seems very poignant. It would be like George Costanza leaving a meeting after getting in a good one-liner. Perhaps it would have been our best post ever, but there’s just so much more to say that I’ll risk killing [...]

Fruity Vietnam
Blog: Ottsworld - 10 November 2009
I’m a fruit person…I love it, I crave it, I must have it! One great thing about living in the sweltering Vietnam climate is that the fruit is great all year around! I would walk through the markets and my eyes would pop seeing so many different kinds of colorful fruit! Vendors walked the streets [...]
