“The photo was taken on the Mekong Delta in Cambodia. I was on a boat and the family passed by in their canoe. We waved from the boat and the boys started to blow kisses. They were so cute and almost fell out of their canoe laughing! I think the highlight of my trip were the people: so friendly and gentle. A very memorable holiday!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations Richard! You are the lucky winner of a Nikon D3300 SLR camera! We felt that it really summed up the warmth of the locals in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

“The photo was taken in November 2016 on your Vietnam and Cambodia Discovery tour. \u00a0It shows a grandmother and child in one of the Dao houses in rural northern Vietnam where our group were treated to a delicious home-cooked lunch by this lady\u2019s family – an unforgettable and delicious meal giving us an opportunity to experience Dao hospitality and culture. One of the highlights of the tour!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
