A travel blog entry from Hanoi by geojoAugust 17 - We are now in Hanoi. We flew in today with no problem. One US dollar = 17,000 Vietnam's currency called Dong.

A travel blog entry from Hanoi by butler2008The one thing you notice coming from sleepy Luang Prabang into Hanoi are the car horns. They are used all day and all night. The streets overflow with traffic going in all directions - and somehow they don't seem to collide. We actually got a beer and sat watching a large intersection - something I wouldn't have expected I'd ever do. It was fasc...
