Did you not literally just fly Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi?
Ah
This is just as inefficient as me going to the airport and back today, and also going to the airport again tomorrow
🤔
But this is to drop off my dad so that’s a valid excuse
Ah
And I’ll take the public bus back which will cost me €1,85 instead of €7-€13
Hanoi had a streetcar

We could’ve had it all..

Average Jordi Watch
The watch front is marked "Water Resist",[6] but Casio reports different values for different variants of the watch. The black version (F91W-1)[8] is "30 meter / 3 bar" (i.e. 100 feet / 44 psi), the ISO standard meaning of which is: "Suitable for everyday use. Splash/rain resistant. NOT suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkeling, water related work and fishing".

@upbeat raven opinion?
Vielleicht
you should
Good map
max tashkent
Cashtent
It’s so random as well because this is just a small airport in Vietnam that even doesn’t have a lot of domestic connections either
@warm basalt any specific wishes before I leave Vietnam? I’ll basically have done the whole famous north-south line by train
Yeah I still need to book that ticket but it will be closed
hmm
The only actual gap that will probably remain is between Hanoi and Ninh Binh
it would look good on the map if you went to the southern tip of vietnam
It’s not a super long distance but I don’t like Hanoi, don’t really feel like going back all the way to Hanoi or Ninh Binh just for that small distance
True
also overland connection between vietnam and thailand
You can apparently take a ferry from the island where I’m on now to the mainland, west
That’s Cambodia
Same same
where are you off to next
The plan for now sort of is Laos (fly?), China (LCR, Laos China Railway), Hong Kong (train), Cambodia (fly), Malaysia (fly)
But it might make more sense to cross to Cambodia via land and then Laos via land
I don’t know how I came up with that order because if you plot it on a map it’s kinda weird if I’m in Vietnam anyway
max china
this order does indeed doesnt make sense
maybe do like loas cambodia malaysia china hong kong
hmm
Wouter moment
@warm basalt remember this
HSBC
They’re based
This is very moeilijk
Actually damn @warm basalt I am currently working on getting a Vietnamese bank account and maybe I can pay in Thailand then
Hmm
why do you need a vietnamese bank account
dont they accept dutch credit or debit cards?
and if they dont couldnt you take out cash at an atm
no they do
did you follow my advice about getting Revolut btw, I can send you a referral link lmao
no
But in Vietnam, even more in Thailand, they only accept cash or QR payments. These QR payments only work with Vietnamese (and Thai) banks. In Thailand it's not possible to open a bank account as a tourist, and apparently you can do it at one bank in Vietnam, so I will try that. It would be funny if I could finally pay with QR, because sometimes it's quite convenient if you don't have enough cash or don't want to spend cash
it's quite odd. the smallest street vendor will not accept card but they will always have a picture of a QR code so everyone just pays each other using their phone, but us tourists have to use cash
do it
Some places in Thailand take card. But it's rare, mostly the expensive (western prices!) places do
And hotels and hostels always charge 3% extra for using your card
why should I do it
Convenient international payments if you meet others and want to split a bill or whatever (a lot of travellers have it, if you don't believe me just wait and see until you meet others lol) and better exchange rates / low or zero fees for ATM withdrawals and foreign currency conversions
good. financial advice from max sounds dumb.
no this is good
you want to make dumb financial decisions while you're young, wild and free

@rough burrow @warm basalt opinion on how late I should arrive at airport? Flight at 13.15, check-in closes 40 minutes before, gate closes 15 minutes before. I expect no long security check, quick passport or visa control (this island is visa-free, the mainland isn’t )

I want 8 hours of sleep
well go 8hr in adcvnce and eep in airport then

Vietnam 56%
Still second place
Alright if I complete the journey from Nha Trang to Da Nang I will have done 76% of Vietnam's railways, I'm happy with that
I don't think Hanoi really has any stoptreinen
They only have 2 stations with like 4 trains per day or so
These ones will be difficult, except for the Ninh Binh - Hanoi part. The line to China is rare I think and the one to Ha Long Bay (most right) is not even in use right now! And maybe never..
Yeah we were in Cat Ba and took a bus directly to Ninh Binh
To go to Hanoi would’ve cost us more time
But I really dislike Hanoi so to go all the way back up for that section would probably be wasteful; it’d take more than a day by train or a flight to Hanoi. If I fly I’d end up in Ninh Binh, meaning I’d probably have to go back to Hanoi to fly out of there anyway

yes but I’m missing the tvv part so I’ll be doing this route that took me two days again, the other way around, in a week or so
how long is the entire train
But then the problem is that the train is so slow
That you’ll miss out on a lot of views

@warm basalt
tomorrow it's happening
are you hyped
if the tunnel does not collapse again
I will have 100%ed the whole North - South Railway
All the way from Ha Noi to Ho Chi Minh City
from https://vr.com.vn/en/ban-do-duong-sat-viet-nam.html, and if you hover over the stations in the list it shows you where it is on the map. And if you click it you get to see a crappy picture of the station
Yes
100% Cambodia might happen
100% Laos probably not because of a small railway line across the border to Thailand (I was literally at that border station on the Thai side before I left Thailand) but I reckon 95%+ must be doable
because in both countries it's otherwise just 1 single railway line iirc
Your online travel diary
https://trainlog.me/public/Max/countries/kh the only thing about Cambodia is that the train apparently does not run daily. So I need to do some good planning
Your online travel diary
https://trainlog.me/public/Max/countries/la I will miss this little track across the border to Thailand
Your online travel diary
Are there trains there
yes, twice a day, but it's not super convenient to cross into Thailand because my plan is literally to go the other direction, into China
but I will definitely 100% one day, I only have to go from Laos to Thailand or vice versa, maybe next year. Thailand 100% is way more of a challenge because Thailand actually has branch lines and junctions. They have a proper network. Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam basically only have one or two railway lines and they all originate from the capital city

@crimson juniper my bus
Yes and the weather was so good, loved it so much, that I decided to go back
And the Vietnamese recommended me this bus company and it’s much cheaper than all other buses. Quite fancy
The route is also really nixe
Well actually
This will allow me to go to Mui Ne
And from there take a branch line to Ho Chi Minh City

@warm basalt opinion on bus drivers that suddenly take your phone and then take photos of you with the bus company’s logo on it

I love how you’re just in full veilleicht merch
gotta stay on brand when they least expect it
also, I ordered so many things to try that I thought it would be a waste to never wear them, so most of my wardrobe in my suitcase consists of vielleicht merch whether I want it or not nowadays
Well you must a good salesman
I mean two Canadian girls did just ask me if I work for Vielleicht
They’re also German so that figures
Maxrit time today! I’m taking my last train in Vietnam and completing a new branch line as well

It could’ve been if I spent €1,40 more
This is horrible
At least I got a whole row to myself

Weird, my GPS isn’t updating properly. My phone reports it can’t get a fix
@warm basalt I’m again making idiotic travel plans that no one else does just to be able to complete more of the train
Everyone just takes a direct bus from Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw
No one takes a train to another city and then a bus and I can’t find any resource on how to do so
So I’ll find it out in the spot
I’ll take a train to Muang Xai, stay there for a night and book a local bus at my hotel
The next problem: accommodation in Muang Xai
Dude I can’t find any website that will let me book a bus from Muang Xay to Nong Khiaw lol
Laotians
09:57 - 10:41 [Lao China Railway] [D88] Luang Prabang - Muang Xay
@warm basalt this is good. I made it to the bus station
There is no bus to Nong Khiaw from here
I have to take a bus to Pakmong, wherever that is, and when I’m there I need to book a new bus to Nong Khiaw and hope I can all make it within one day lol
I can’t buy a ticket for the 10:30 bus tomorrow, I’ll just have to show up and buy it tomorrow morning
Amazing
this is all improvised. nothing is booked in advance
Oh my god there is no bus to Nong Khiaw
There’s a tuktuk and it will cost me 300k

@warm basalt I took the train yesterday from the city in the bottom centre of this map, you can see that my route is not very efficient

From 🇱🇦 Nounsavath - Luang Prabang to 🇱🇦 Nateuy
Ah great minds think alike
Why arent you china maxxin
yeah I thought it would be cool
and my original plan was to take the bus back to the station I came from today
But the bus was just too expensive and unreliable because of the Tuktuk connection so I can’t risk doing it in reverse
The times for the direct bus to Luang Prabang are known and it’s even 3 times cheaper than that damn Tuktuk
So I booked a train that connects to that bus
Max this is the only year you can china max without visa
Pretty much unlimited stay
You must china max quickly
Soon
Apparently an old colleague of mine is going to Hong Kong next month so I might exit China to say hi to her and then go back in
china is just one of those places I have no interest in visiting any time soon
Max take the chinese ice 3
good idea
dat is drieënzestig eurocent
Wat zijn je volgende vluchten
waarschijnlijk Hong Kong - Cambodja of Hong Kong - Taipei
afhankelijk van hoeveel tijd ik heb tot eind juli
en dan Cambodja - Taipei eventueel
of ik skip Cambodja en ik ga naar Indonesië, lekker duiken
Thank you

Okay now I need to go to Houy Xay tomorrow
This is 4 hours by bus and you can’t book it online either
I went to the bus station in town and they told me I need to go to the interprovincial bus station
Only there can I buy a ticket, so I’ll have to go tomorrow morning. If the information online is correct there should be a bus at noon

Wow unexpected, Thailand are introducing a remote work visa! 🇹🇭

You can extend for another 180 days for the same price 🤯

I think I’ve gotten onto the wrong metro
What not how
Transferring to another line now
We’re aboveground
This is good
They have local and express lines on the metro, like in Korea
1: what
@warm basalt monorail metro
I’m the only one I’ve seen so far
China has a lot of treinen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liziba_station famous station!
Liziba is a monorail station on Line 2 of Chongqing Rail Transit in Chongqing municipality, China. It is located in Yuzhong District and opened in 2005.
The station is located on the sixth to eighth floors of a 19-story residential building. It uses specialized noise reduction equipment to isolate station noise from the surrounding residences.

Harbin when
Hmm if I want to go to the 3 Gorges Dam I’ll have to take a local train
Yes father
5 hours on a stopper 🥰
Considering the scale of China I think D trains are just intercity trains
Wait
It’s actually a high speed train

https://www.chinadiscovery.com/china-trains/d-high-speed-train.html Christ these distances are enormous then
Good website actually
It recommends some nice routes
Good luck deciphering this Rico

lol people wouldn’t wait for me to exit the train first so I started shouting 
They just don’t care
Chinezen
Peper
@rain swan sick posters
Cool indeed thanks
How long are you in China still
Can stay 15 days maximum but might go to Hong Kong in a few days, stay there for a few nights and go back to China for another 15
this country is huge, already got a bunch of tips for beautiful national parks and cities and places, all hundres of kilometres away from each other
Cool loophole
this is sinds kort yeah
15 days visa free stay
good because applying for a Chinese visa is a crime
Extended to end of 2025
oh
guess I'll stay here forever
I will just have go to Hong Kong and back some 26 times or so
@warm basalt
Pijlen
yes that's to make sure you know where I'm going
What's that black bar thingy?
china
Is that the independent nation of Taiwan, legally known as the Republic of China
That is indeed Taiwan, a province of the People's Republic of China
AliExpress has spoken
It's cool how they pretend it's china but still put it in lists of countries consistently
Same at the airports
it's kiond of an ongemakkelijke situatie
I wonder what the average Chinese thinks of this
They're not allowed to
I only know gay Chinezen so idk
funny how this is the olympic delegation flag
Indoor positioning including floor recognition
yeah it’s pretty insane
the city planning, architecture but also the nature outside of the cities is insane
I just think Chinese food is nice
I only really know the chinezen that tried to do a PhD in Amsterdam
Absolutely impossible to communicate with
Going to Japan as well, I guess?
I accidentally selected that I’m drunk?
Not this time! Not enough time left until August
I see
