Translation of aphid in German

Then we went to a street where most backpackers would hang out as we wanted to make reservation for a trip that we planned for the next day. There were a lot of travel agents on that street.
In the end we decided to try something new, and although we are not great "fans" of South East Asia, we agreed on going to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and if there would be enough time Hong Kong.
As my wife is a travel agent, and knows that in certain cases people do not show up, we decided to take a taxi to the airport nonetheless. It was actually not far from the border, about 5 kilometers away.
