Updates and art! https://gusbus.space Mon, 24 Mar 2025 12:07:31 -0600 1440 A much needed update to break my streak of no updates! In this post I share my plans for moving forward and sharing the rest of my travel logs and some new stuff, too! Also some fun drawings form the past few months. https://gusbus.space/blog/post-sea-travels Wed, 18 Feb 2026 21:15:00 -0700 Kaila and I fly to Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in the southern half of Vietnam. More good food, some museums, and lots of walking! This is our last stop in Vietnam, so it's a bit of a bittersweet time as we try to enjoy our last few days in this lovely country while also looking forward to what's ahead. https://gusbus.space/blog/ho-chi-minh-city Wed, 18 Jun 2025 22:20:00 +0800 Two more cities in Vietnam: Hoi An and Da Nang. We check out the historic old town with all the pretty buildings and paper lanterns in Hoi An, and also spend some time on the beach there and in Da Nang. Some more good food too! https://gusbus.space/blog/hoi-an-and-da-nang Tue, 17 Jun 2025 21:15:00 +0800 We move farther south in Vietnam and come to the biggest city we've been in since Hanoi. We eat some good food and see some different kinds of relics to time. https://gusbus.space/blog/things-left-to-time-hue Sun, 10 May 2025 22:30:00 +0700 We leave the coast and head a bit south to a region sometimes described as "the Ha Long Bay of the Land" that features similar geology that isn't flooded. We get to see some more caves, and these are way more extensive then what we floated through in the bays. https://gusbus.space/blog/swimming-underground-phong-nha Sun, 27 Apr 2025 14:30:00 +0700 After spending a chilly few days in the northern Vietnam mountains, we head to some islands off the coast. This leg of the trip has everything: Geology! Boats! Smaller boats! Caves! Monkeys (actually primates)! Bikes (motored and motorless)! A puppy! A lap cat! Even fish between toes! https://gusbus.space/blog/floating-mountains-ha-long Fri, 18 Apr 2025 07:30:00 +0700 The next leg of our journey involves catching a bus leaving Hanoi, and traveling to Sapa, a town in the northern mountains of Vietnam surrounded by smaller villages and rice terraces. We bought tickets for the bus from our hostel in Hanoi, and they said we would be picked up just out front. This ended up being half true... I also introduce Cables of the Day in this post! https://gusbus.space/blog/happy-water-sapa Sun, 13 Apr 2025 14:00:00 +0700 Recap of how we spent our time in Hanoi, the chaotic capital of Vietnam! https://gusbus.space/blog/dodging-motorbikes-hanoi Mon, 07 Apr 2025 21:31:00 +0700 The start of this blog and Gus and Kaila's journey through Southeast Asia! https://gusbus.space/blog/our-journey-begins Mon, 24 Mar 2025 12:07:31 +0700
