Hello from Chiang Mai. In a case of I'm Not Even Supposed to Be Here Today, last week I was all set to go to Vietnam until I had visa issues. I wrote about that here. Not that being in CM is a bad thing, as it’s one of my happy places. It just meant a bit of last-minute reorganisation.

After 6 weeks of solid travel, I now have a month in one place to write about this trip. I started with my arrival in Sumatra.
