In Hong Kong, we chowed down on dim sum almost every day, found out just how spicy Dan Dan noodles really can be (spoiler alert: REALLY REALLY SPICY), and even got to spend a day with our hosts from Warsaw, Nelly and Lukasz!

During our five days in Cambodia, we explored the many temples of Angkor, ate mystery meat at a Khmer BBQ joint with our British buddies, Charlotte and James, grilled up some crocodile for dinner, tasted as much ice cream as we could find, and enjoyed how nice, polite, and calm the Cambodian people are.
With so many people telling us, "You HAVE to go to Sapa and Halong Bay!", we expected big things out of both side trips from Hanoi, Vietnam. Unfortunately, neither destination lived up to our inflated expectations. Read on to find out why!
We let our new friends, Charlotte and James, ask us any five questions they want, and we promised to answer honestly! Read on to see what they were curious about!
In Luang Prabang, we got brave and ate dinner from buffet tables in a dirty alley, watched the Morning Alms ceremony, visited a beautiful waterfall with our new adventurous friends from Britain, and learned that the US bombed Laos more than any other country during the Vietnam War. Read about our eye opening experience in the former French Colony.

During our last week in Budapest, we needed time to rest! While we had a great time with our visiting friends Courtney and Shawn (who we stayed with in Amsterdam) on a pub crawl, Noelle had a tough time recovering from a roofie that somehow made its way into her drink. Our last few days in this great city were spent resting.
The theme of our second week was exploration! Our new friends indulged my wine tasting passion with a day in Eger where we drank lots of vino in tasting rooms that were built into a giant hillside, and enjoyed some traditional snacks like onion bread!
When we got to Budapest, we were ready to slow down and relax! Thanks to Selma and Elliot, we were able to do just that in their beautiful apartment! Read about the amazing food we ate, the beautiful walks we took, and the Belgian Beerfest we enjoyed during our first week in Budapest!
