Good Morning Vietnam!

Crossed the Cambodia/Vietnam border by foot/bus. This was a much quieter affair although being a Socialist Republic (Communist) country, I wasn't surprised when they took videos of us and rucksacks were examined. Bit of a tip on this front, Asians regard the feet as the dirtiest part of the body so I place my flipflops at the top of my rucksack to avoid too much investigation! There were no vendors on the other side jostling for our dollars, just a few trucks, and as we walked along people kept shouting "hello". When we said "hello" back, they went into peals of laughter which was very infectious! Have a good feeling about Vietnam already.
