Greetings from Ho Chi Minh City. My three month visa expires in a few days so rather than extending it I will be getting back on the road. Here is what I’ll be doing over the next few weeks. On sunday I will be flying to Taipei, which will be my first visit to Taiwan. I’ve heard lots of good things about the city so I will be spending two weeks to explore and visit as many cafes as humanly possible. From Taipei my next stop is Hong Kong where I will spend two days.

We found an excellent childrens park, the first one weve come across since we got here, so Rune was well happy to play for a while. Hell in Ho Chi Minh..... - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Travel Blog.
