It hasn't always been easy buying milk and milk products in Hanoi. We have to go halfway across town to buy cheese. Half-and-half is unavailable. I make my own by mixing light cream (also very hard to find, but at least possible) with regular milk.
If only we'd known of this wonderful product.

Sorry, but the link only takes us to the YouTube main page.
Al, if you are using Safari that might be the problem. Try Firefox, from some reason that works better - let us know.
....nope!
I had no problem listening to Milky using Firefox (3.6), but I want to change the subject and talk about your great photos of Angkor Wat.
I have looked at a lot of photos of AW including National Geographic but your photos were the first to give me a real sense of what it is like. I had no idea that it was so crowded - it seems more like Palenque than Tical. And so generically Hindu - I didn't expect that. I also did not know they were doing so much work on restoration with modern equipment - great (and great line and understatement: "Many stones have yet to find a home."
My caption would be: A Jawa fondles his first tree.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you both for the terrif travelog.
The art and copy have been wonderful to follow.
Thanks for the comments. Steve--We thought Angkor Wat had a completely different feel than Tikal as well, and not just because of the more forest=like setting vs. the jungle at Tikal. Angkor felt much more like Copan--light and pleasant as opposed to the thick, dark energy of Tikal. There were a fair amount of tourists at Angkor, including several large groups of Japanese. It has become a major destination for tourism in recent years. The site is so large that, except in a few locations, it rarely feels crowded. One of these was Ta Prohm, where scenes from Tomb Raider were filmed. We saw a large group of Japanese tourists there listen to the guide explain the site at great length in Japanese, finishing with "blah, blah Tomb Raidah." Then the group nodded vigorously in unison, murmuring reverently, "Ah. Tomb Raidah!"
