    Pangapsumnida

    After traveling all over South-East Asia with visits to Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam lying already behind me I decided it’s time to move on. Until recently this whole travel except from Myanmar was based on vague ideas and the wish to travel as much without a fixed schedule as possible. But now things changed.…

  • Ho Chi Minh City

    Ho Chi Minh City

    The two days I spent in the southern Metropole of Vietnam were super relaxed. Some walking around at night time, a visit to the unification palace and admiration for the unwritten laws that keep the traffic participants alive. From this point onwards I am on my own once again.

The place feels distant and one can imagine how much more estranged the places in Pyongyang must look like. I should definitely investigate those socialist…

  • Hanoi Scooters

    Hanoi Scooters

    This city runs on scooters. A larger percentage of the traffic consists of scooters in all different shapes and conditions. You’d see a whole family with 2 kids on it as well as the local farmer carrying chickens to the market. Crossing the road means ignoring all European precautions and walking slowly but surely across…
