Bia Hoi

Back in Hanoi I risked my life on a motorbike. The roads are insane. I've never seen so many bikes...usually overloaded with people, boxes, huge mirrors, dead pigs, live ducks strapped to the sides by their feet, or even a boat!
Gunta, Craig, Steve and I decided to go to the Museum of Ethnology. It's a little way out of town, so we thought it'd be fun to get a bike there. It was fun, but also incredibly dangerous. We got 2 bikes, so including our driver, there were 3 to a bike. We had to share helmets, so I went without since my head is too small anyway. The journey back was the scariest, because our driver was a little nuts and spent more time checking out girls, as well as naked shop mannequins, and kept looking round to tell us how beautiful we were, instead of bloody concentrating on the road which was heaving with bikes zigzagging everywhere.
Bia Hoi is the local draft beer and it's dirt cheap...so I drank a lot of it! They often serve it out on the street and you sit on tiny plastic stools. I was enjoying it until I noticed that the glasses were being half filled from the keg and then topped up with the slop bucket...so that's why it's so cheap!
