Intro

Here you can find some notes about my trip to south east asia. I was travelling through China, Vietnam, Cambodia and a little bit of Thailand from August to October in 2006. It was a wonderful trip. You can see a selection of photos on the Nice Photos page and most of them in the gallery.

During these six weeks, I visited the following places, staying about one to four days in each:

1. Germany - Organisation

• Beforehand, we organized 3 things:
  • the flights from Frankfurt to Hongkong and back from Bangkok (www.opodo.de)
  • vaccinations
  • visas for mainland China and Vietnam. Hongkong and Thailand do not require one and a Cambodian visa can be easily obtained at the border.
• There was no time for anything else, since I had to finish my Bachelor Thesis ^^.
