In the coming weeks:
I will hopefully finish the story of India with the last part of 'The Road to Delhi - Bardia to Delhi & Away or Kia in a KIA'. I know how many of you have been waiting for the last part. Well none to be precise but that will not stop me anyway writing the post.I just left Vientiane but how did I get there and what about Luang Prabang and beyond.
Those of things I have done but what are my plans?
I am slowly heading down to the South of Laos and Si Phan Don 'The Four Thousands Islands'. The Mekong is my constant companion as the Road from Vientiane to the Si Pha Don follows the course of the river, with Thailand a presence on the other side of the Mekong.
When I left Thailand 8 days ago, I did not realise that I will not be returning. Since I arrived in Laos, I have decided to stay longer than planned and to go directly to Gambodia directly from Si Phan Don. Si Phan Don is close to the Laos/Gambodia border.
Then into Gambodia to Seem Reap - the base town to visit the ruins of the Temples of Angkor - and Phnom Penn the capital. Then head to Vietnam and Ho Chi-Minh City. Here I have made the first alteration to my initial flight itinerary. Originally, I was flying out of Ho Chi-Minh City to Hong Kong. During the travels, i have met other backpackers who have already been in Laos, Gambodia and Vietnam. I was recommended that from Ho Chi-Minh City I should Head north to Hanoi by the coast road. Stopping on the way of course.
To cut the waffle, I am staying a total of 3 weeks in Laos, 2 weeks in Gambodia and 3 weeks in Vietnam. I fly from Hanoi to Hong Kong on the 9th February, then - at the moment anyway - to Seoul on the 12th February, to Tokyo the 5th March and to Perth the 18th March.
Lets move onto the subject of my blog. How are you all liking it? Any changes? What would you like to read or see more of? or less? Love to have your comments. If people do not wish to post a comment then they can email me at dan@thetravellingdan.com . Don't be shy - especially you French. I am also curious to how many different people read the blog. Again you can email me
I have to make a comment about the horrendous spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. I am always in a rush to type the posts. I type fast and have no spell checker installed. I do a quick proof read. Sorry for that. it seems I have chosen quantity over quality.
To finish off - at last I hear you all shout or think - Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Hanukkah

I totally agree with DrG (and Anai!)... seems I often agree with you Dave... except sometimes when it comes to books.
Your blog is excellent Mr Whyman and does make me feel very boring and safe as I worry about whether or not to buy yet another box of chocolates for another family member's Christmas.
hi Dan, regards from Poland where I have returned safely, indeed, two weeks ago... I'm glad you are now in Laos so I expect you to put some additional pictures on your blog very soon:) Reading your blog reminds me of my good times in Asia and actually I've already begun to think about my next visit there... hopefully sometime in the middle or at the endd of next year... and talking about it, Happy New Year and many many great adventures in many interesting places around the world... Good luck!
