Bustling Hanoi

Just a quick note to tell everyone that we arrived in Vietnam last Monday (March 23), crossing over the Chinese/Vietnamese border by land via a border crossing called "Friendship Pass." We spent several days walking the streets of Hanoi's Old French Quarter. Vietnam has a totally different feel...

Hanoi - city of mad trafic and too much noice

We arrived to Hanoi this morning. Luckily, we (Michal of course) had arranged the transport from the airport in advance because everybody in this city seems to be trying to rip us off :) I thought one day in Bangkok will prepare us for Vietnam. Mistake. Thailand is much more civilized and more...

City of the Soaring Dragon

Hanoi is the capital and also the largest city in northern Vietnam with 7 million people. Ruthlessly crowded with motorbikes, people and goods-for-sale along the tiny winding roads, my first impression was that this city was completely nuts. Coming from the jungles and mountains, I felt...

Day of Culture in Hanoi

After our day of organisation we leapt into sight-seeing properly. One of the nice things about Lonely Planet guides is that they have suggested "self walking tours" to get you out and seeing the city. We had arranged to meet Russell at 1pm for lunch and then a visit to the Museum of Ethnology,...

Vietnam Phone number

Number in Vietnam is +841213165515, although it seems that text messages are not getting through -- at least not yet. Maybe they're going to be delivered very late, but there is certainly some sort of problem.

Bia Hoi in Hanoi

On the 31st we decided to take it fairly easy and just get to know our surrounding area. I had one main mission in mind: sample the "Bia Hoi". It's a local speciality, so I had to. Bia Hoi is -- means, I think -- "Fresh Beer", which is drunk on the day it is brewed. Apparently there were Bia Hoi...

Arriving in Vietnam

The morning of the 30th I had to admit that my boots had given up the ghost, but at least there would be more space in my bag (for Joanne's stuff)! We caught the bus with no incident and made it through the border, only slightly unperturbed by the long wait for our bus on the other side. In fact...

Hanoi

We left Chiang Mai, Thailand for Hanoi Vietnam on the 10th. The tour desk at our Chiang Mai hotel, Chiang Mai Thai House, had made the Vietnam visa process painless. We gave them some money and our passports when we arrived and before we left our passports magically had visas for...

No me puedo creer que en Hanoi también haya gallinas

¡Están locos estos vietnamitas! El cambio de Laos a Vietnam, aunque ya veníamos advertidas, ha sido todo un shock. Del relax total al Business Business más voraz, rápido y estresado. Hanoi no para, no descansa, y el tráfico es una auténtica locura, mil veces peor que el que ya nos asombró...

Vietnam cuisine, impressive and unforgettable!

Dining on traditional Vietnamese cuisine is part of total immersion into the culture. Vietnamese food is quite unlike any other food in Southeast Asia. It’s even quite different from China. Overall it’s a blend of Malay; Indian; French and influences and incorporates baguettes and pate from...
