A Journal to Asia - Part 2

On arrival in Osaka, Japan, we stayed at the wonderful Hilton Osaka.  Highlights in Kyoto and Nara, Japan included: NIJI Castle, the Golden Pavillion, and the Imperial Place. 

We boarded the Diamond Princess in Bangkok, and after a day at sea, we arrived in Singapore.

 After a city tour of Singapore, we flew to Cambodia's Angkor Wat.  It appears that after centuries, Angkor Wat is becoming a destination location for many tourist from all over the world.  There are many new, modern hotels with others under construction.  We were told all bombs have been removed. Please do a Goggle look-up to learn more about this historical area.  

A visit to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, was most interesting.  There are millions of motorbikes and two or three almost ran over us.  Sites which are reminders of the very long and costly war were numerous.
