Some considerations on China, Vietnam and Laos (not to mention Macao and Hong Kong!):
- In China 99% of things and 'Tarot, often happens to see young Chinese with tremendous shirts signed Arnami Jeans
- Hong Kong is a spectacular city, but if you have a budget of € 20 a day, it doesn't make sure your
- Macau is nothing special ... It's like China but with lots of casinos and Even a fake square San Marco (which I refused to visit) - During the Chinese national holiday, at the beginning of October, every year there is a greatest migration of humanity history. A billion people moving to the most famous places in China.
- If I have not misunderstood the Laoitian is a rather easy language as it has a very low vocabulary (eg ice is said hard water, bathroom is 'water house while eclipse is' frog eat moon)
- Liane in the South East Asian forest can hold up to four people (even 6/7 if it comes to rooms)

- The articular mobility of the Chinese is monstrous, if they do not have to sit they can stay for hours in full squat position (squatting) ...
- in Kunming, China, I met for the first time a Buddhist who spoke English. This in four hours, besides having massacred at ping pong, has overturned all my most rooted life concepts

- Arrived in Vietnam I'm going to change a hundred euro ... the type in return gives me two millionicinquentomila Vietnamese dollars ...

- In Laos, in every hostel and also in many rooms it is mandatory to take off your shoes to enter
- to the Hue market in Vietnam I found myself by chance to eat at a table with two Americans on the sixties ... during the Meal is jumped out that was their second visit to Vietnam. The first time, forty years ago, but they were not there on vacation.
- The most famous Italian in Vietnam is clearly and clearly Roberto Baggio
- In the forest in Vietnam more than once I happened to me Exchanging a butterfly for a bird
- In Laos It is considered very serious if a man and a woman kisses or give his hand in public places. Even in the rooms of some hostels I found signs written explicitly forbidden to have sex

- The jungle in Vietnam is so "dense" that you understand easily because the Americans lost
- In Laos use banana leaf as a map for smoking
- in Vietnam when it starts raining, if you don't find shelter within fifteen seconds, you find yourself more wet than after an icebucket

- In sixty days between China, Vietnam and Laos, I've never seen a pissed off ... Indeed, especially in Laos, they smile all
- The premises in Laos closes all at 11.30pm, while Restaurants generally at 8.30pm/21 ... The hairdressers are open until 22 and there is always some customer
- in Laos nobody has the watch and in their vocabulary there is no word stress
