Some "Fun" Numbers from our Trip (Episode 2)

We visited three countries during this voyage, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

(The following areas don not include maritime claims.)

Vietnam

Area: roughly 310k square kilometers
Population: 92.5 million
Think about it like: slightly bigger than New Mexico with more people than California, Texas, New York, and Massachusetts combined.

Cambodia

Area: roughly 177k square kilometers
Population: 15.2 million
Think about it like: slightly smaller than Oklahoma with more people than Illinois but less than Florida.

Lao

Area: roughly 231k square kilometers
Population: 6.7 million
Think about it like: Slightly larger than Utah with as many people as Massachusetts.

Basically, the entity that was for over a century called French Indochina, the combo of today's Vietnam, Lao, and Cambodia, is slightly bigger than Texas with a third the amount of people as the US. It's big and it's dense, but there's still plenty of wilderness and remoteness, so, go figure...

Photograph-love Numbers

Number of photos taken with Corrie's nice big dSLR: 2901.
Number of photos taken with my Cannon P&S: 1735
Number of photos taken with my phone: 258

Total number of photographic captures: 4894.

As I said in the 2012 Mesoamerica version: Are we having fun yet?
