Right now my granddaughter is staying where you stayed....so great to see it and get input on what she may be experiencing.

Hey
I just wanted to say I loved reading your blog - your style of writing is so easy to read and I love the little 'price comments' all the way through!

We're going to Vietnam and Laos in April for 3 weeks and plan to do your trip through Laos but backwards. I already know that 3 weeks won't be long enough when I want to spend days on end kicking back under a tree watching locals....

Thanks so much for all your tips and well done you for embarking on all of that alone!

Hi Jenny!
Great page! I am embarking on my own adventure traveling 2 1/2 months through basically your route backward from Hanoi through Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Any suggestions on how to do it? Also, how long would you suggest I spend in each place?

why the hell you did not go and report this pheado
They have police notice all over sihanoukville asking you to do so
You blind or what

Excellent description of your travels, Jenny!! I felt I was there with you! And as I'm about the undertake the same venture in a few days (well, Chiang Mai, Pai, and slow boat into Laos and around), it was a great preview! Thanks for sharing!!

Jenny,
The Brit in your pic taken in Suk11 is me! I remember that crazy night, so much fun. I'm at the back of the pic. Funny, I found the pic on the net by chance! I'm heading back there yet again in December and staying at Suk11. - Glenn.

what a great read, having also travelled most of these countries and been through most of what you've done it was great to recapture the experiences so vividly. nice job!

people who are nice to children on cambodias beaches are not always paedophiles....if you are so sure this person had bad intentions , i trust you informed relevant autorities ?

Hey Jenny,
Thanks for the cool info. I am heading over to Bali, Thailand, malaysia, Laos and Cambodia for a month and your journal really helped answer a few of my questions. Thanks and happy travels in the future.
Eric in Seattle

Jenny, thank you for a great travelogue and photos... very entertaining, informative and inspirational. I travelled in Thailand and Vietnam last year and later this year will be returning to SE Asia (from Australia) & those countries plus Laos and Cambodia, visiting most of the places you wrote about.
In Bangkok, I stayed at Suk 11 hostel and also suffered blistered feet from walking in sandals so immediately connected with you on discovering your blog.
I can't wait for July 2008 and all those great places, lovely people and wonderful food (and beer).
Take care, Tom

Jenny, your travelogue has truly been inspirational. I've done a bit of travelling myself but hadn't really blogged extensively about my travels the way you did. I stumbled upon this site while googling "happy pizza" (haha, I know I know) and I got lost in your adventures for about an hour. Thanks again for posting your stories!

jenny, i truely enjoyed reading your travelogue, it was a fantastic read. thank you very much for sharing

Hi Jenny, this is a *fantastic* travelogue you've written about your experiences in SE Asia. I've been doing numerous short hops in region over the years, but your blog has inspired me to try something longer.

Hi Jenny....WOW, i was so fearful of my solo southeast asia trip i am doing next april but come across your amazing travelogue and its so great how you have written it feels like im there already....what a shame i will not get to meet you on my travels it would have been such a pleasure. Thankyou Jenny for writing this it so helps! xx i hope wherever you are now you are happy.

Great storys... i am going northen thailand soon.... should be fun!

Hey Jenny,
I loved reading your travel log! It was great getting some insight into being a solo female traveller in SE Asia, and its also nice to know that you didn't waste away from lack of vegetarian food options as that is something I'm kind of worried about.

Just wanted to say keep up the travel writing, it was quite enjoyable reading your journals, even during work hours I sneak a few peaks to read more. I am planning a similar trip to Asia around March08 for the same amount of time or more.
Cheers!

Jenny..........My daughter, Amalia Miller, sent me the link to your "fabulous" travels.I assume you two knew each other from UCLA days...........I am planning a trip to Laos and Myanmar in January and am finding your diary very helpful. I've been traveling the world for nearly 40 years to over 100 countries and still prefer the back pact method.Do look us up should you find yourself in San Francisco................Randy

Jenny, wish I were there with you. Keep talking about all the food you eat -- I love to hear that! Congrats on becoming a diver. Are you reading any good books? We miss you here!! EVS

Hey Jenny,
I really enjoyed reading your adventures. You've given me some great ideas and I'm looking forward to seeing these magical places myself. My only literary criticism is: Where's the hook-ups?
Let's have some sauce in your next update. lol!

from a fellow bay area native to another, wonderful writing!!!! i did a trip similar to yours. except i started in cambodia-thailand-malaysia-singapore. we were in cambodia at the same time in 3/04. reading your blog bring back good memories. i am suprise you didnt go to ko samui and my favorite island ko phi phi.

JENNY I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED READING YOUR JOURNAL, A FRIEND AND I ARE PLANNING AN ALMOST IDENTICAL TRIP TO YOURS, ITS BEEN SO HELPFUL. IM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

This travelogue is so fascinating and educational. Jenny has taken some great notes accompanied with some pics that bring her writings to life. Thanks Jenny!

You have very interesting journals. Will keep
reading them.

I was recently in Ban Krut and Ban Sapan (Feb 2006) and do believe I enjoyed it as much as you and your friends did I love the small town charm and lack of tourists on the Gulf coast.

Hi Jenny,

enjoyed reading in your blog and totally forgot about the time. I like traveling Cambodia myself and are delighted to see others traveling the country well.

Thanks for taking me there,
Stefan

wow jenny, this is amazing! i've heard stories about SEA from a few courses back at UCLA and from family trips, but it's cool to see how you kept this daily journal with pictures and everything! i wanna go now... hahah. i hope you continue writing journals wherever you go because i'd love to read about your adventures.

Hi Jenny,
Sounds like you had a great deal of fun during your travels. I travelled through viet and Cambodia earlier this year and had some awesome experiences, so much so that I am returning in 06 with a Kayak and going from China all the way to Delta, Anyway hope you manage to get back there again.
Cheers
Bondy

I love your website, great to read about other people's travels! I did the same last year (2004/2005) and loved it, 12 months on the road. I did a travel blog but it has been taken off the server now, although I still do another website for people travelling in Vietnam to arrange journeys with easy-riders in Dalat... have a look at www.easy-riders.net - would be great if you could leave a message or two in the forum about places you've travelled - any useful information/recommendations are always appreciated by other travellers using the site! All the best, kind regards, Luke Wordsworth

Great effort! Just had me glued to the monitor for a couple of hours. Would just like to compliment you on your writing, perseverance and bravery for travelling solo backpacking to some of the places, an Asian would think thrice about going to unescorted. I was at Chiang Khong jetty last Sept and was looking across the Mekong at Huay Xai with travelust but alas did not make to Laos as time did not permit.
Look forward to reading your future adventures and may you be always safe and happy!
Thanks for your entertaining travelogue.

I visited the same places in Laos last year & your photo's are a reminder of a great holiday.
regards

IB

Wow, what a great trip! I really enjoyed your website. I was thinking of planning a similar trip for next year. Your site is a great resource, thanks! and Happy Travels!

Jenny

Thank you so much for publishing your news online. I'm currently travelling around SE Asia, starting in Thailand, N. Laos, Vietnam, and have just arrived in Cambodia... and your tips have been really helpful! I started on one page... and before i knew it, had read the entire Cambodia section!

Thanks.

Claire

Hi,

I don't usually sign guestbooks, but I've spent so long reading your pades, It would be too cheeky not to.

I spent some time in Laos and Cambodia a few months ago and was so enamoured that I'm going back next month. Can't wait to drink a bia lao and take a massage.

Thanks for your stories, you've made me more excited than I already was.

Cheers,

John

As my wife and I are preparing to return to Laos in November I searched Google for Vang Vieng and happened to come onto your website, which I am enjoying very much and contains much good info. Good writing, great photos!

I am heading to Pakse this weekend and you gave really good information about the place! I enjoy reading your travelogue exceedingly.

Hey! Enjoyed reading your adventures & getting lots of tips for my own trip to thailand this summer.

Great site, I enjoyed looking around!

A great travelogue! But Jenny, where is the China part? I'm very interested to read on. I would like to put a link on our website to the China stories as a reference to our clients.

Hey Jenny,

It's been a wonderful journey reading your write-ups about your journey throughout SE Asia. YOu have opened up my eyes on how wonderful the countries of the Indochina are.

Waiting for your China stories.

Way to go girl. As an Overseas Chinese myself, I am proud of you.

Cheers.

jen,

good writing, love your style. been to bangkok only a few times and love the city.

I didnt relize what i was getting into when i started reading......great though!! i love the food descritions, as im a total foodie too. when i do my travels in asia, thats one of the parts im most excited about! you did a great job putting your experience into words

Hi Jenny, great travelogue. I enjoyed every page of it and all the photos too! Agreed with all the good comments from other guests. Hope you find time to write about your journey after Dalat. Thanks for sharing.

great trip

Hey Jenny!
Just wanted to let you know that we are getting a few visits to our website from your travelouge pages, which is great. Steffen is back in Thailand, Koh Tao at the moment, but he'll be back in Ban Krut before too long.
Brings back good memories.....
Hope all is good
Allan

Nice Site. Thanks for the great informations. www.urseiselin.com

Hi Jenny. Just got back from Cambodia myself and your website was a great reminder of my trip. Nice photos and good dialogue. Am heading to Laos and back into Cambodia over new year too (southern Laos and Eastern Cambodia this time), so looking forward to visiting some of the places you mention here (4000 islands etc). Well done for taking the time to do this !!!

Well, took me a few hours to read everything....great report and photos. Thanks for sharing. Im going ravelling SEA in 6 weeks and this has been very interesting and informative reading.

Great Photos Jenny. Especially the LP's photos...on photo 82 & 83, you took few pictures of something that is very close to my heart.

Thanks.

spent the morning reading all your travels. very enjoyable and well written. thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed your pics!

Jenny,
Very much enjoyed seeing your pictures of China. Where was Shilin rock forest? That looked very cool. My guesses, which are probably way off, are that in the beginning you're in Yunnan province, wearing the traditional minority group clothing? And the last few pictures of the old-style architecture- are you on a mountain in Sichuan province? That's what they remind me of. I guess you're back in CA? I'll be back in late August or early July, not sure yet! I'll see you back there!
Greg

Heya Hey-Hey Now! Turned off by the I-net, I've tuned out for over a month now. Damn you and your jungle forays! Curiosity has trumped complacency and compelled me to fire up the ole CPU to check in on the latest Asian AdJenture...*groan* Mixed feelings as I realize the trip is down to its last leg: How to reconcile my desire to see Jen with how much I want to continue my second-hand sojourn into S.E.A.? I suppose above all else, thanks are in order. Thank You for taking the time and making the effort to introduce us, in full sensory style, to the various jungle hamlets and bustling metros you've encountered - you present us the sounds, smells and tastes, the feel of each area, and you submit in photos what words cannot capture. Your personal edification is our collective education, and I'll stop here before I get too mushy/gushy! All the best and brightest blessings to you, and a safe journey home to boot. (And please remember to heed the "Don't Stomp the Sea Urchins" signs! )

aloha...sounds like a great adventure. we are going
to thailand in october...cant wait to here the rest of your
stories.

You must be the best bungalow pimp...EVER!! Sounds like you're having a great time, miss you =)

yo chica. remind me of where ur PIC is at. i saw one, but unsure if that was it. can't wait to hear about cambodia and vietnam. and do tell us about the food there! hehe luv ya.

I've been following your journey with keen interest. But there've been no new entries since Laos. Everything alright?

Jenny,
I love reading your stuff! I've been a lazy schmuck and haven't gotten on your site till now but I'll be following closely now, especially as you go through Zhong Guo! Zhu ni hao yunqi!
Greg

hey jenny, engrossing travelogue. your experiences are inspiring, esp. for corporate minions like myself.

are you passing through hanoi by any chance?

Yo mama!!! What's up with your dialogue with Vietnam. I want to know what you think of my birth country. Having a hard time finding internet, yep, sounds familiar : )

Hi Jenny,
My apologies, if my earlier request for photographs was construed as a critisism of your wonderful travelogue.
I was aware of the earlier photographs from Thailand, however I was just keen to see more of your photographs, particulary from Laos.

Sorry for the confusion, and once again, best of luck.

George

Hey,
It sounds like you're having a great trip!
I went through the same area in 2000... your pictures of Ko Tao are very familiar. Did you go to Vang Vieng (did I spell that right?) in Laos? It's beautiful.
I also went to Cambodia and Angkor Wat. It's not to be missed!

Anyway, have a great trip! This fellow Californian (San Diego) is envious. But I'm going to India (Lakdakh) trekking in June, so I won't be envious for long...
-Ken

hey Jenny!
I can't read this journal becuase it makes me JEALOUS!!!!! here I am stuck in a building and poor as a grad student (that's because I am a grad student). anyways Hang if you read this, are you in London??? and Jenny's gonna be in London too?? I am definitely coming to visit! I will save up from now!

shimi

Your audience is never satisfied! =) I would direct George to the beginning of the travelogue, where you've graciously supplied us with beautiful images of Thailand (still gaga over BucketBoy).

To hell with the missing pictures, anyway...what happened to the past Month?! The serenity is palpable in your writing - I was standing atop Phu Si with you, watching the sunset and holding the monk's other hand.
ATB,
SHW

Hi Jenny,
I'm still enjoying your wonderful and observant writing. But, could we have a some photographs to add to our enjoyment.

Best of Luck

George

I LOVE YOU!!! And I am so proud of you, dude it takes balls to be able to go to South East Asia by yourself for four months!!! Baby you are my inspirations : ) Can't wait to see you in London!

Your diary is great so I have started one as well

See Thailand BKK & USM

Hi Jenny!

brilliant stuff. truly. your pictures are a wonderful complement to the prose (omigod, that boy bathing in a bucket is even more precious than i thought possible), but better than the way you capture and relate your experiences is the wanderlust you exude day in and day out. and i, for one, will never tire of any epicurean embellishments...i so envy you all that fresh food and new flavors and and and! more menus!! =D

take care of you and keep tossing those scraps to your captive audience back home! speaking of home, the winter storms (fierce, by bay area standards) have all but passed, replaced by some of the most unseasonably warm, languid weather we've had. yep - 75 and sweltering in san fran!

Living vicariously through you,
Scott

Jenny, sitting here in bed in Dublin Ireland reading your diary (great stuff, keep it up) & thorntree. My self & the missus are heading to SEA in April, for 3 months, it will be the first time we backpack - your diary sure is making me look forward to my trip!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to your next installment!! PAI sounds great.

Hi, girl!

Can't wait to see you upon your return... we'll swap stories. I go to Costa Rica in 3 weeks!

Love,
Alexandra

Hi Jenny,
I was in SE Asia just last month. I enjoy and appreciate your writings.

Smooth Sailing!

Jenny, wish I were there with you. Keep talking about all the food you eat -- I love to hear that! Congrats on becoming a diver. Are you reading any good books? We miss you here!! EVS

Hi
Great journal, Please get a move on and post the next instalment.
I can't help it if I'm impatient.

Hi Jenny,
it was very interesting to read about your time in Ban Krut! I was only yesterday over there and went for a swim, the water is a bit better than in Bang Saphan, where I live. I once met Allan in my coffee shop, and I'm surprised that even though there are not many farang living in this area, I haven't seen him again. He must be busy! -Next time you're in Thailand, make sure you stop by for a good cup of fresh coffee! - Happy to know you had a good time Ban Krut- Klaus

hey jenny, nice to see you're having such an awesome time in SE asia! i'm actually quite jealous cause while youre living up paradise out there, i just finished a 10 day work week. ah well. hope you're having lots of fun. write me! (and that daniel guy is cute... you should keep in touch with him ...)

ohmigod i can't believe you got bitten by a sea urchin!!!

Jenny- I'm just starting to read about your adventures right now, and they rock! Can't wait to see you in Beijing in the beginning of June so we can share travel stories. I'll give you more details of my plans soon.

Love,
Ray

Hi Jenny!

I just read your travelogue is awesome!! It's like a great book that I can't put down... totally distraction when I was at work. Anyways, I'm very happy that you're enjoying your journey so far... please be safe, be cautious, and live it up! I miss ASIA!

Love,
Steph

It sure sounds like you are having a blast. It makes me think of my good old traveling days and wish I could be doing what you are. Keep having fun over there and Robin and I will miss that you can't make it out to Philly. Oh well.
p.s. my first choice for residency is San Diego so you can visit us any timewhen you get back to the good old U.S.

Jenny! Sounds like you've been having a blast so far! I definitely enjoyed reading about all your almost adventures...hahaha! I'm sorry to hear that the Ladyboy show was not what you expected, things must've changed since I was there. Representing the girls in a game of "footie," I'm so proud of you!! Don't they have basketball there though?? Anyway, take care of yourself and have a good time! Oh yeah, and I hate to admit it but I've also seen that movie with Tara Reid that was filmed at UCLA...sigh. Miss you!

hi jenni! sounds like you're really enjoying your trip so far. i can't believe everything there is SOOO cheap! keep us all updated and don't forget to pick up a few small rocks for me from time to time!

Hey you, well I don't know what to say! All sounds amazing and I think you're very brave to do it all on your tod! I'm just back from Canada visiting Ezechi, where I learned to snowboard and had a fab time, and I think that was enough adventure for me so I'm very impressed to read about your travels. Will be logging on to read more soon, and hope you have better luck getting some non-spicy food! Take care xxx

oh jenny i am so jealous. especially about the ping pong show. i can't believe you actually checked that out! now you know more about those things than me well stay safe and keep us updated. it is great living vicariously through you as i sit at my laptop considering how to get out of working on my brief due tomorrow at 1pm... sigh...

After reading your narrative, we now know that you prepped and primed yourself aplenty for this trip - but did anyone send word to the S.E.Asians that Jen-Jen was on the loose and headed their way?? Email me your itinerary so that I can have a stack of reference manuals ready for you at your next stop...first and foremost will be, "How to Say 'Too Hot!' in Seven Asian Languages."

So happy to trace each of your hot & sticky steps from the cold, wind-whipped gloom of stormy San Francisco; I know infinitely more happens between breakfast each morning and the time you're back in bed than you could ever try to capture for your audience, but you do a great job of pulling us right through the screen and into the daily delights and dramas of your brave new world.

You mentioned on one of your first days how you revelled in the ability to wander around and get lost/discover new things by yourself...but the fact of the matter is that you're not completely alone - we're all right (t)here with you, removed a degree or two, but nonetheless hanging on every word and cursing those noodles soaked in chili oil!

Thanks so much for the detailed updates. We miss you but know you'll be back better than ever! Take care of you and please be nice to the natives.

hey jenni! sounds like your trip is going well so far. i'm enjoying reading your entries. be sure to take lots of pictures! and get me some matches!

Hi Jenny
Just read your adventures so far. It sounds like you're having an great time. I'll keep cheaking back as I told you before you left I am living vicariously through you.
Have fun and be safe if you can do both
Elaien

Eddie told me that your story is nice, I had to say so here. So here you go, your story is very nice.

regards

Peter

Have fun and take good care of yourself!
Love,
YouKnowWho

Jenny -

You have just embarked on an incredible journey. I'm so happy that you've done a lot of research, including finding out where to get your visas en route. I wish I was traveling with you so I too can explore the wild side of Jenny Chu as I once did in Portugal and Spain. But I will have to find another adventure to join you on.

I know you have the street smarts that will guide and help you through some of the tougher countries - so i'm not worried - BUT, if you ever need anything - you have my number... and don't worry about calling collect!

Be safe, be smart, and most importantly - have fun and take a lot of pictures so you can share them with your friends!

thinking of you!

Susan
