Hà Nội: 04/06/2011

Sắp khởi hành đi chơi cùng công ty rùi. Mình cũng thấy vui vui, nhưng lại thấy nhớ anh quá. Từ ngày yêu nhau tới giờ mình chưa xa anh cách quá 20km. Mình luôn có cảm giác được gần anh. Nhưng hôm nay đi chơi sẽ cách anh mấy chục cây số, giá mà có anh đi cùng thì vui hơn  nữa. Nhưng không được mình mới vào công ty làm sao mà mang anh đi cùng với mình được ngại chết. Chẳng biết anh có lo lắng nhiều khi mình đi về 1 mình không chứ để anh đi đâu 1 mình, mình không an tâm. Mình luôn muốn chia sẻ cùng anh tất cả mọi chuyện. Và sợ lắm khi nhìn thấy anh cực nhọc. Nhìn thấy mồ hôi anh rơi là mình thấy chạnh lòng và thương anh nhiều lắm. Nhưng cuộc sống của hai đứa còn nhiều khó khăn và sau này còn nhiều khó khăn hơn nữa. Mình mong anh luôn vững vàng để đi cùng mình hết con đường đời này. Em muốn nói em yêu anh nhiều lắm anh ah.
Thui chuẩn bị thêm vài thứ cho chắc để đi chơi thui. 1 ngày nhanh thui mà. Chiều mai mình lại được gặp anh rùi. hihi

Cycle Indochina & Angkor

14 Days - from $1910

Cycle between Bangkok and Saigon, through Angkor and the Mekong Delta
This journey takes us across three countries with contrasting recent histories and subtly different cultures. From the busy streets of Bangkok we make straight for the rolling limestone hills of Thailand's largest National Park, Khao Yai. Moving into Cambodia we head through shimmering paddy fields to Angkor, the magnificent temple and city complex at the centre of the former Khmer Empire and one of the world's great historic sites. We reach Phnom Penh, where we encounter stark reminders of Cambodia's more recent past. Arriving in Vietnam, we enter the Mekong Delta, a criss-crossed patchwork of rice paddies and waterways, the so-called 'rice bowl of Vietnam'. We complete our journey in the vibrant city of Saigon where the frenetic pace contrasts with some of the rural areas we have cycled through.
