Day 1 – Tuesday 16th of December – Arrival After having sat in different airplanes and airports for a good part of a day – all in all our journey took 25 hours or so: from 6am to 7am the next day (mid day in Cambodia) – it was good to spend some time in relative quiet of our new host town. Or so I thought. After having settled in at our hostel...
Asian Adventure I – 5, 4, 3, 2, 1: Idiots Are Go!
As the saying goes, the eagle has landed – with a sore arse, but happy never the less! DAY 0 Flights The first moments of our trip were filled with blood-shot eyes and plenty of yawns after a healthy 2-3 hours of sleep per idiot.

Asian Adventure vol. I – South East Asia: Cambodia, Vietnam & co – Dec 15th till Jan 8th
To get started with this blogging thing, here’s the kick off of my Asian Adventure vol. I travel blog – the main reason why I finally found enough motivation and determination to fight my way trough the ever so high piles of crap called content management systems.
