March 29 Yesterday we got up at 6am, and were picked up by our diving outfit outside our Guest House at 7.30, after showers and a rice-noodle soup breakfast. We were driven to the harbour, and it turned out we were the only two divers on boat, so we had the crew of three all… Continue reading Nha Trang – Backpacker Central

Ca Na – True VietNam
We were supposed to go dune-sledding the day before yesterday, however due to Annikken’s severe sunburn we decided to postpone our dune-sledding adventure one more day. Annikken just relaxed the whole day mostly inside, while Gjerulf spent a few hours on the beach enjoying the sun and waves as well shopping for beachwear and finding… Continue reading Ca Na – True VietNam
Mui Ne – Tropical Paradise
March 24 Yesterday we arrived in Mui Ne. The bus ride was a bit of a surprise, to say the least! We were expecting a normal, cramped bus, hopefully with A/C. What we found, was a sleeper bus, with beds instead of seats, comfortable, well airconditioned, with pillows and blankets for everyone. No doubt the… Continue reading Mui Ne – Tropical Paradise
VietCong’s Cu Chi Tunnels
March 22 My plane was an hour late, but I got through immigration without problems. Annikken was waiting for me when I arrived, and we took a taxi with a Canadian woman to the backpacker area De Tham in Saigon (=Ho Chi Minh City=HCMC). We bargained for accomodation, and managed to get it down to… Continue reading VietCong’s Cu Chi Tunnels
Elephants, Rhinos and Crocodiles
19. March The medicine against my amoebas has not presented any side effects so far, for which I am very grateful! I had a pizza night with the teenagers at KICC on Saturday. 11 people had said they’d come for sure, 5 that they might show up. We were 25! It was a great evening,… Continue reading Elephants, Rhinos and Crocodiles
Politics, religion, environment, health, work and commercials
Wednesday March 11 Commercials I’m sure it’s just me that’s blazé when it comes to advertisement but I have a feeling that the ads on billboards and TV down here are a tad on the naïve side. I mean it’s been a while since car and MC commercials back home were fronted by slogans like… Continue reading Politics, religion, environment, health, work and commercials
RP’er LFG in Ktm! WoD, D&D, MERPG, VtM, GURPS, anything!
First of all, an important announcement: the title Uncle Travelling Gjerulf is no longer a lie… On February 27 around noon Norwegian time, my little sister Jenny gave birth to my first nephew! This picture is taken the same evening, sent to me by my mother, the proud grandma. 😀 Now for the heading… I… Continue reading RP’er LFG in Ktm! WoD, D&D, MERPG, VtM, GURPS, anything!
I miss…
Settling down here in Kathmandu for a little while has been great, and it has given me time to miss things. When I’m travelling from place to place every few days, there’s not really any time to miss anything. Now that I’ve been here for over a month, I’ve started to realize that I miss… Continue reading I miss…
Proposal of marriage
It’s turning out to take a bit longer between each time I post, now that I’m not moving around. This is for several reasons. I already mentioned that I don’t have internet access at home, but I’m now at the Higher Ground café, which is the only café I’ve found that offers free WiFi for… Continue reading Proposal of marriage
Kathmandu International Christian Congregation
Jan 25 As of today, I am officially a youth worker in KICC, Kathmandu’s interdenominational church for expats. The Pastor went on a two month sabbatical last Sunday, and I am living in his house. It is a rather big house, at least for one person. There’s a hall, a big kitchen and living room… Continue reading Kathmandu International Christian Congregation
