The lost ruins of My Son
From Hoi An, I visited the ruins of My Son today. These relics of the ancient Cham culture have suffered a lot during the Vietnam war, but are still a charming sight. Continue reading The lost ruins of My Son

City of (Lantern) Lights
I am not quite sure whether I like Hoi An: It has without doubt a very pretty old town – but it is also sooo touristy. Continue reading City of (Lantern) Lights

I am on a three-weeks long trip through Vietnam, which I have started in Ho Chi Minh City (the former Saigon). Walking through the streets here, it is easy to forget that one is visiting one of the last communist countries of the world. Continue reading The communistic-capitalistic Saigon

My first trip to Africa
