I and my friend were dealing with Google Maps in such crazy hot weather. We must choose between driving in 2 hours and driving in 45 minutes by shortcut as we were supposed to travel a whole circle based on provincial road number 662. However, if we choose to go based on shortcut, we just have to go straight. The provincial road number 662 was about 60 to 70 kilometers. As for the shortcut, it took us a very short time to reach Kong Chro district. After we had driven about 30 meters following the shortcut, we saw a crossroad which was different from what we search on Google Maps. \u00a0Eventually, we decided to follow the shortcut. We asked local people whether we are going the right way. Luckily, they nodded their head and looked at us as if we were aliens.\n<figure id=\"attachment_1890\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1890\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gialinhtravel.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/gia-lai.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1890\" src=\"https:\/\/gialinhtravel.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/gia-lai-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"It was 12:00 then and I was in Gia Lai based on the road from Buon Me Thuat to Quy Nhon\" width=\"800\" height=\"547\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gialinhtravel.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/gia-lai-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gialinhtravel.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/gia-lai-600x409.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gialinhtravel.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/gia-lai-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gialinhtravel.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/gia-lai.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1890\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It was 12:00 then and I was in Gia Lai based on the road from Buon Me Thuat to Quy Nhon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The shortcut was full of sand, which made it difficult to move. We had to depend on Google Maps for road instructions. Suddenly, my friend shouted \u201c Oh shit, we have lost mobile phone signal\u201d. I started to panic. Then an ethnic man driving a kid with black skin as result of sunburn appeared. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c Hey, this road leads to Cong Cho district, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d I said to him<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They didn\u2019t seem to understand what I was saying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cKong Chro?\u201d the kid asked me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYes. That\u2019s it, Kong Chro district\u201d I tried to spell exactly like the kid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then we followed them but we could not keep up with them. We drove on many sandy roads in the first 3 kilometers. Then we had to drive on slopes of 45 degree covered with many rocks. This road was for farm vehicles only. We could not overtake the farm vehicle in front of us as the road was too narrow. \u00a0Consequently, we had to suffer from its emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is only 20 kilometers off road, but sometimes I wonder what happens if there is something wrong with my motorbike. It is quite a problem being stuck in the middle of forest. It is the first time that I have experience \u201coff-road\u201d. In fact, there are moments when I am afraid and want to give up. However, I try to eliminate such negative thoughts and keep on driving. It is conquering, isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Some interesting tours to Asia are\u00a0<span><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gialinhtravel.com\/typologies-packages\/Vietnam-and-Cambodia-tours\" target=\"_blank\">Vietnam and Cambodia tours<\/a>,\u00a0<span><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gialinhtravel.com\/typologies-packages\/Cambodia-Thailand-and-Vietnam-tours?post_type=packages\" target=\"_blank\">Thailand Vietnam Cambodia tour<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<span><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gialinhtravel.com\/typologies-packages\/Vietnam-Laos-and-Cambodia-tours?post_type=packages\" target=\"_blank\">Vietnam Cambodia Laos tour<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was 12:00 then and I was in Gia Lai based on the road from Buon Me Thuat to Quy Nhon.
