Update in English


After three months in Asia we think it's about time to write something for our english speaking friends around the world.
Right now we're in Vietnam and tomorrow we're leaving for Philippines.
We started in India (Dehli) 20th of August. Stayed there for approximently one month and 5000 kilometers before we went trekking in Nepal. There we went to a peak called Kalar Pathar (5545 a.s.l) and of course Everest Base Camp. We think this was the highlight of the trip so far and for everyone that thinks about going to Asia: Don't forget Nepal you won't regret.
After some "training" it was party/shopping time in Bangkok. With a hangover we went to Singapore because it's the cheapest airport to fly to. 18 hours in Singapore was all we afforded before we travelled to Malaysia and did some jungel trekking. That was a really dissapointning experience so after 4-5 days in Malaysia it was time for Thailand again. We visited some beautiful islands (Ko Phi Phi is the favourite) before we ended our south Thailand trip at a full moon party with 10 000 other crazy backpackers. Back in Bangkok for a day before we went to Shang Mai, a beautiful place with a lot of soul. From there we went to Laos and relaxed for 3-4 days before a caotic time here in Vietnam. Vietnam is the place we're most dissapointed over and if you're thinking of going here - drop Hanoi (the capital) and start in the middle Hoi An or maybe Hu'e (didnt have time to go there) and travel down south along the coast to Ho Chi Minh (or a better suggestion skip Vietnam).
We're finishing our Asia tour with Philippines for 2 weeks and Tokyo for a week before a 10 days stop in Fiji before flying over to Canada to go skiing! After all; we are Norwegians. After that we're thinking of renting a car and drive down the west coast and then to Mexico before ending our world trip with rest of middle America and South America. If anyone of you guys have any suggestions of what we should do, don't hessitate to write us. And if you want to join us for a while you more then welcome to do that.
If you want to see pictures from the trip push the picture on the right side and enjoy. We will try to give you guys more updates in english in the future (hopefully 1 time each months).
