Hanoi Street Hotel

... cuts in front of the bus just as it was exiting the intersection. My foot was jabbing at the imaginary brake on my side of the car for the entire journey! The only reassuring (?) thought – it wasn't just our driver driving like a maniac. They were ALL driving that way! Kuta (Bali) is a stroll in the park compared to this! (Watch the video in this blog entry to get a sample!)

As we drove along, I was horrified to see a stack ...

Hello everyone,

Hanoi is Vietnam's capital and that is certianly reflected in the hustle-ly, bustle-ly nature of the place. The traffic is out of control and you must be careful even when walking on the sidewalk as motorbike tend to skip the traffic by riding the pedestrian zones! The is a constant "honking" here, at all hours, near and far. But it is an interesting place with lots of people watching ...

I loved Hanoi.

Before I arrived at the city, I imagined it must be the bastion of communism, full of dogma and lack of fun. Well, as it turned out, my vision was dead wrong.

Hanoi is a beautiful city with a lot of history and even more lively citizens; in and around it are beautiful sights. I made good friends here, visited many beautiful and interesting places, ate good foods. Some of you may want to put me in the dog house though, because one of the good ...

... which truly inspired me to visit Vietnam. (I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I fell in love with Vietnam's landscape by watching the Amazing Race, reality show!) Three hours outside of Hanoi, Halong Bay, home to over 3000 incredible islands, is designated as a World Heritage Site. And it's no wonder, as the site is truly a natural wonder. Carved by wind and waves, limestone karsts, of all sizes and shapes ...

... dels turistes te un 'dong' (moneda local de Vietnam) per comprar aigua o menjar.

El primer que sobta al creuar la frontera es que sembla que s'hagi perdut la màgia i l'alegria de la gent de Laos. Els vietnamites son una mica secs i esquerps, de tracte una mica auster i distant, i la primera impressió no es gaire bona, sobretot si un esta avesat als somriures gratuïts de la gent de Laos. He sentit dir a forca turistes que la gent de Vietnam fan el viatge en aquest país ...

... out of the hostel so had to sleep on a sofa in the reception area, getting quite a few looks from passers by! When I awoke, the others were nowhere to be found and I felt very disorientated and dizzy. I made my way across the street and found them playing cards in the bar and looking at me as though I really didn't look my best! They had tried to find out how much it would cost us to cancel the $110 each trip if I was too ill to go and the manager had said it would ...

Vous vous rappelez que j'ai abordé le fait que les filles de notre groupe se font souvent pointées du doigt, se font rire d'elles a cause de leur problème d'embonpoint (sans AUCUNE retenue de la part des Vietnamiens, AUCUNE). Il y a deux semaines, je disais que j'essaierais de comprendre leur comportement...j'essaie encore. Ayant moi-meme eu un important problème ...
