The world as we discover it: its places, its people and everything it changes in us.
“What if we stayed two more days?” That’s the question we end up asking ourselves after a few days on Koh Rong, Cambodia. With its white-sand beaches, turquoise water and little bars right on the sand, the island quickly wins us over. We came for a few relaxing days, but feel so at home that we decide to extend our stay by two nights. To reach Koh Rong from…
Our first surprise in Phnom Penh wasn't the Royal Palace, but our hotel room. After several hours on a bus from Ho Chi Minh City, we arrived in the rain at the Ocean Hotel, where we were told we'd been upgraded. Always good news! Except that our new room was in a corridor where several guests seemed to be competing in a smoking contest. Doors wide open,…
“Hello!” Early in the morning, Sébastien gently pokes his head out from under his blanket and finds a little boy looking down at him from the upper bunk, wearing a huge smile. Not quite how we expected our first day in Saigon to begin! Little Quynh, around four years old, is travelling with his mum in our compartment. Ever since we left Quy Nhơn, he has…
“Would you like to join the workshop?” A few metres away from us, a man in his underwear is hanging from ropes in the middle of a bar. All we wanted was somewhere to have a drink and discover Kaohsiung’s gay scene. We had noticed it was a gay bar, but apparently we had skimmed over the “BDSM” part of the description a little too quickly. This evening is…
The first thing we see when we arrive in Xiaoliuqiu is not a turtle, but a sunset. After a ferry crossing of around thirty minutes from Donggang, we arrive on this tiny island off Taiwan’s southwest coast. Xiaoliuqiu is famous above all for one thing: its sea turtles. They are exactly why we came. But on this first evening, we are simply happy to see a…
