Happy new year from Hanoi, Vietnam! We can't wait to see what the new year offers up!

Just after the countdown, you can hear Casey break into laughter and say "That's disgusting!". She is referring to the two guys who stripped to their underwear and jumped in the nice-from-a-distance Hoan Kiem Lake, pictured below. Up close, as you might gather from her comment, it's not quite as inviting.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week we made another last second decision to delay our venture into Laos by instead going back to Bangkok for a few days (which we'll hopefully get to write about here, shortly), and then reversing our "planned" Southeast Asia route. So, we find ourselves at present enjoying a Thanksgiving curry in Siem Reap, Cambodia with entertainment provided by this guy:

If you're wondering to yourself, "Gee! Is that a man jumping through a double metal hoop ringed with inward facing knives that have cigarettes on the end and three flaming torches attached to it? And is it all happening in the middle of the street?" then you are correct. Happy Thanksgiving!
