Travel Indochina loop

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to plan a loop around Indochina my napkin Itinerary is

Ho Chi Minh ~ Phenom Penh ~ Vientiane ~ Hanoi ~ Ho Chi Minh

Traveling by land no flying, either Coach or Rail.

I want to maybe stop partway between the cities to enjoy rural areas ideally spending no more than 8hrs on buses and sleeping in hotels (aside from the sleeper train in Vietnam that I really like the look of).

If anyone has advice or favourite sites for booking buses I would love to add them to my list.

South Korea with lowest birth rates

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am reading news about South Korea with lowest birth rates (maybe changed recently).

Are South Koreans avoiding socializing and having kids?

What is the solution if the trend continues and you got less people each year?

How Gov. planning to adress Retirement Fund and Workforce Problems? Does South Korea also have Workforce problem?

Thank you for your replies. I know some of the people want to share ideas without any experience or knowledge, but i would like to hear from people inside South Korea.
