We took the night train from Hanoi (which was actually really comfortable, it had bed I nearly fit in) and arrived in the morning to Sapa. There we caught a bus and were despite of the misty weather able to enjoy some of the stunning views of the mountain, which look like huge stairways because of the rice terraces. I expected...

As I arrived at noon I decided to make a small detour to see Van Long, another of our project sites. So it struck me even harder when we arrived in Van Long and they told us that we cannot proceed to Cuc Phuong as it was flooded. I have never ever cursed to so badly in my life (and this means definitly something ;)) But fortunately I met our local program supervisor Catherine and her assistent Dong, who wanted to...

Unfortunately (there it is again) I arrived on Tuesday just a few hours ahead of a typhoon. At the beginning it wasn't so bad, just raining all the time, which is not so special for Vietnam, as you might have read from my last blogs. Phong Nha is similar to Cuc Phuong, it is situated in a mountainous area and as well is pretty far from every major traffic hub, so once... Blogger.de ihmsen Copyright © 2007 ihmsen 2007-10-04T10:27:54Z https://tobiinvietnam.blogger.de/stories/925118/ I finished working in Cuc Phoung some days ago and I'm now travelling around in Vietnam. I made the plan some time ago, but I changed it nearly a dozen times and decided on the night of Tuesday that I would finally leave on Wednesday noon leaving my big bagpack in Cuc Phoung and fetch it on my way back to Hanoi. I took the nightbus from the provicial capital Ninh Binh to Hue, the old imperial capital. This was a pretty weird experience, because I went by a sleepers bus, which had rows of beds instead... Blogger.de ihmsen Copyright © 2007 ihmsen 2007-10-01T07:39:29Z https://tobiinvietnam.blogger.de/stories/925112/ I saw him, the KING, the king of snakes. I came early after the lunch break and was walking around to visit some of my favorite monkeys, so my view was fixed on the cages and not on the path. But when I heard a noise in front of me I looked and saw a big king cobras making it's way into the bushes, just a few meters ahead of me. Damn,I was pretty shocked, especially because it was arm thick and at least 3m long. If one of these bites all you can do is go to office and call all your friends to... Blogger.de ihmsen Copyright © 2007 ihmsen 2007-10-01T07:05:42Z https://tobiinvietnam.blogger.de/stories/909132/ The last three days I made a trip through the famous Ha-Long Bay and it was truely awesome. REALLY touristy, but the scenery is just incredible. We spent a night there on a junk and another in the national park of Cat Ba, where we did some cycling and cayaking. Next time in Hanoi I'm gonna upload some pics to give you an impression, because it's hard to describe it. So tomorrow I am heading back to Cuc Phuong and my daily routine. I just bought some things that make live there more convinient,... Blogger.de ihmsen Copyright © 2007 ihmsen 2007-09-14T15:27:20Z Search this site: q https://tobiinvietnam.blogger.de/search
