3/12/2008: After traveling over 17,500 miles, enjoying over 120 meals (between the two of us), and sampling more than 10 different types of local beer (in various quantities), we somehow still managed to lose weight over the course of the vacation! (Move over Jennie Craig, here comes Rispy Noodles!)
We're happy to be back home, and couldn't wait to treat ourselves to pizza, burgers, and the other tasty dishes we've grown accustomed to here in the states. Grease-laden american classics aside, there were several meals we experienced that we won't soon forget.
JM's Top 5 meals:
- Cha Ca in Hanoi
- Crab in tamarind sauce in HCMC
- Fried fish (on the boat in Ha Long Bay and on the beach in Railay Bay)
- Hoan Thanh Chien in Hoi An
- Cambodian style table grilling in Phnom Penh
BDM's Top 5 meals:
- Tom Kah Gai in Bangkok
- Hoanh Thanh Chien in Hoi An.
- Cambodian style table grilling in Phnom Penh.
- Cha Ca in Hanoi.
- Fried Sea Bass on the beach.
BDM's Top 5 beers:
1. Tiger Beer
2. Beer Chang
3. '333' Beer
4. Saigon Special (w/o ice!)
5. Beer Lao
Some of our favorite media memories:
- Tuk Tuk ride in Phnom Penh [video]
- Kayaking in Ha Long Bay
- Sunrise at Angkor Wat [video]
- The beach at Railay Bay
- Various communist propaganda
We really appreciate all of the comments and well wishes from everybody. It was very comforting to hear from our friends and family while we were half way around the world!
See you next time!

Thanks for food blogging the trip guys! I was fun to check the RSS feed on occasion and find new posts to check out. I would have liked to have seen some BDM/crocodilian water wrestling. Also, check out piclens.com as it works with picasa web albums and is a very cool way to view images like you guys posted...cheers!
