I got back from Vietnam & Cambodia a couple of days ago. The trip was awesome as it is impossible not to love these amazing countries. Prices are extremely cheap, people are the nicest and for some reason happiest I've ever met anywhere, culture is interesting & exciting, food is good and weather was sweet (around +30C all the time), Vietnam offers great beaches and it's easy to travel between Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. However I learned a lot more about the history of these nations and they are really sad. I saw people living in a dump, begging, two-year-old on a street alone at night, really small kids working to get something to eat. I highly recommend taking Cambodia as your next destination. When you go there remember that every dollar is about 100 times more valuable for those kids who try to sell you a book than for you. I've pretty much never before donated anything, but now I promise to give 1% of my winnings every year to charity. I just need to find a channel which takes money to its destination. Cambodia is highly corrupted so it can be hard, but I'll definitely do my best. I challenge every winning player to give at least something to people who need it. If no more, just one big blind in a month can do the difference for some kid.
Poker approach: Maybe it will help me to concentrate and not to tilt when I know that every time I do something stupid it's going to be away from those who need it.
