Sedona Hanoi

... it the Hanoi Hilton, because of the poor treatment and facilities there. From the photos on the walls of the museum area, it seemed to hold almost entirely Air Force pilots.<br><br>From the prison I worked my way over to the Museum of Revolution. When I arrived I realized I had about 40 minutes to make my way thru one of the bigger museums in Hanoi. It wasn&#8217;t long that I realized it wouldn&#8217;t take long to go thru the museum because it ...

... it does seem to be in more specialised. Loads of places have signs with pictures of a big grinning Alsatian or Labrador on them to &#8220;lure&#8221; the punters in!! Emma gets a wonderful selection of veggie stuff, probably something to do with the large Buddhist presence. I can&#8217;t single out one amazing dish I&#8217;ve had but all have been really good packed with loads of different flavours (a lot of lemongrass, garlic and ginger ...

... and playing the guitar. In<br>addition, there were also pictures of John McCain being captured<br>after ejecting from his aircraft over Ha Noi in 1966, as well as the<br>famous one of him in a medical bed and an arm cast, there is a recent<br>picture from 2000 of John McCain visiting the museum &#8211; we wondered<br>what he thought about this section. Despite the small section you<br>still get a feeling of the horrors that must have taken place here,<br>as well as the long ...

... br>Sauf a considerer que le cyclo-pousse en soit un. Ce qui n'est pas vraiment le cas. Quoique...Un cycliste sur 2 roues et devant une imitation de rocking-chair surmonte d'une tenture de tissu pour en proteger les passagers. Donc...le compte est bon...4 roues ! Mais comme elles ne sont pas positionnees en rectangle, mais bien en T, je les mettrais dans le lot des 2 roues,si vous le voulez bien!<br><br>La ville fourmille de 2 roues en tous genres qui grouillent de partout, emergent ...

... the capital in the south, as they did loose after all. <br>HEAVEN is in Hanoi - 10p a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We drank a lot of this after finding it on our first night, bloody brilliant!!<br><br>We put our passports in for the first chinese visa in Hanoi. Took 8 days! The Chinese have a lot of public holidays to watch out.<br><br>We partied a bit here and met a bunch of people, including an Israeli clown and ...

... hair cut by a guy on the street armed with a cut throat razor&#8230;Tom is still with us. We were being picked up at 11am by our guide for the afternoon, Chi, so we ambled home after the hair cut. Chi was an excellent guide with a good command of English and French as well as his native Vietnamese. He was originally from the mountains to the north of Hanoi and came from the ethnic minority population referred to as the 'H'mong&#8217;. Chi ...

... city, alive and buzzy it's dragging itself out of the poverty created by several decades at war. Despite being on the winning side, the cost of the war was devastating, not to mention the after effects of living under a strict communist regime as opposed to being exposed to the effects of the American way. It's all taken it's toll and heaven forbid ordering something before getting an explicit answer to the question 'how much is this?'.<br><br ...

... for home the next day. For us, we had just bought our return tickets the previous day. With a shrinking travel account, slight traveler burnout, and lots of to-dos in BC before we move to Ontario we bumped our return trip up a couple weeks. We actually picked up an awesome deal out of Kuala Lumpur that is even Business Class! Even with a deal and our first chance to fly in style, the flight booking still meant we are committed to going home... and in only 2 ...

... across the road down a dark wet winding alleyway...this had me quietly wondering about my will and if it was legally binding! We were welcomed to a small cosy guest home that only set us back $10 a night and the best thing...it was quiet, not much street noise. After morphing into the swarm of scooters and spruikers for a couple of days it was time to meet Marg at the airport. We caught the public bus down there in time to see her arrive, she ...

... food could cost but my $6 dinners of freshly blended tropical smoothies and international semi-haute cuisine remain a great value. There are a ton of Western tourists here from all over the first world, and Hanoi's Old Quarter is a staggeringly easy place to navigate for travelers of all ages and confidence levels. Don't be afraid, English is spoken so readily and easily, everyone should spend a few days here. I keep feeling a bit agog at my own reactions ...
