I am soooo god damn happy to have left Hanoi...it was a shithole. I had a fine time, but it was definitely incidental to the location.
Not a lot to offer, dirtier, nosier, & with more pollution that Bangkok. No where near as cheap as Laos, or in many instances Thailand & populated predominantly by rude pricks that are keen to give you short change or try to steal your shit.
Thankfully, I have headed south. Hue was great, would have liked to stay longer...people friendlier...less traffic...more smiles. We booked a motor cycle tour & I spend the whole day being carted around on the back of a bike owned by my new friend Loc...it was great...beautiful country side...met lots of locals...I could do that every day for a month.
I am now in Hoi An for 4 days...no agenda...just free time, this is definitely the place to shop in Vietnam...but I am committed to try to keep travelling light & to come back with photos, memories & experiences...rather than souvenirs.
The connection to Blogger always seems painfully slow since arriving in South East Asia. Further north everying was slow...now I can access everything except the one site that I want (ie my own)
I promise to update site with photos as soon as I can.
