You want motorbike ?

We are in Siagon now, staying with Alex's old boss Greg. The train down from Hanoi was good, slept well both nights. When we got off the train at 04:30 AM there were around a million vietnamese men asking if we would like a motorbike taxi, crazy guys that can carry half a ton or five people on a single 50cc bike.

Bit nervous about the next step to Bangkok, with the coup and all...should be fine.

I had a chance to upload some pics. check them out.

Trains....Yay

Just a quick one. We made the Trans-Siberian, seven days on the train was a push, great adventure though. Gobi desert was mad, and Russian borders guards are terrifying. Beijing was cool, the hostel we stayed at was in the middle of a Hu Tong and there was a dog restaurant. The beers were 630ml bottles for 2 yuan that's seven for a pound !!

Another big train mission ( 2 nights) across China and into Vietnam, which is where I am now. Going to Ha Long bay in a Chinese junk tomorrow, yay.

Will push some pics up when we get home.
