Southeast Asia

I'm posting a series of emails I sent my friends over the course of my post-bar-trip through Southeast Asia. Well, through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Hong Kong (although we stayed in Hong Kong for only a few hours while we awaited our connecting flight).

I hope these emails help and add to the information on Lonely Planet, which I highly recommend. We used the Lonely Planet series for Thailand and Cambodia, and it was great. We used the Rough Guide to Vietnam for Vietnam because it had higher ratings on Amazon.com, but it was a disappointment. First of all, we had gotten used to the information on Lonely Planet. Second, it's called the "Rough Guide," as in cheap, no frills travelling and, thanks to the guide, we ate at a very expensive restaurant (good, but expensive).

Anyway, here they are in sequence. If anybody reads this and has any questions, please feel free to ask.
