Some new videos taken from my iPhone – Saigon and Cambodia
I hate carrying a camera around and the few times I’ve carried a video camera I found it a bit unnatural and a hindrance. Lucky for me my iPhone can take both pictures (albeit of dodgy quality as you’ll have seen elsewhere on this blog) and videos. The videos are a bit grainy but I like the fact that my video camera fits easily in my pocket.
When I take videos on my phone it uploads them to an account on a website called livecliq. I’m having a lazy (and slightly hungover) Saturday afternoon so I’ve just posted a couple of new videos there.
This one is of my apartment in Saigon’s district 7. http://www.livecliq.net/streams/284892
This one is of the temple of Beng Mealea in Cambodia that I blogged about here. http://www.livecliq.net/streams/285052
This is a video from the top of Mount Bakheng in Cambodia. http://www.livecliq.net/streams/284992
This is a street scene in Saigon. http://www.livecliq.net/streams/284922
The three coconut ladies outside the Opera House. http://www.livecliq.net/streams/284952
It’s official, your apartment is the Waldorf compared to my school-supplied place!

I agree with Expat… I haven’t seen his place, but I think your apartment looks pretty swell and pretty big too! I love all the multi-colored houses / apartments in your neighborhood.

it is an interesting neighbourhood … from quite poor dwellings to some wealthier ones. The streets are a bit like the Hutongs in Beijing with little shops and hairdressers and places where people line up to watch footbal games …

I should add that I have my own place in the city that is quite nice, but the place the school provides is, uh, well maybe I’ll put up some photos of the place once school starts.

You need to have a jailbroken iPhone then using the Cydia app download a program called livecliq.
