Hanoi

Anyways, maybe no photos this time as that doesn't seem to be working but i'll add them later. The last day in Vientiene was interesting. I took the tuk tuk again andthought i was getting a sweet deal until i found out when we got back that it was a misunderstanding. damn, i got hit twice, i should have just rented a moto for 24 hours, it would have been cheaper than a freaking 30min taxi ride. Then i decided that i would go watch a movie and have some food maybe but as it was Lao new year, it turned out to not be an option. I was stopped on the way there and fed beers and food by these crazy dancing gang of guys and one girl who had been partying all day and weren't planning on stopping anytime soon. It was hilarious, the had this big speaker pumping out tunes, electronic mostly, which is was better than thai pop and stopping everyone coming down the street to get them soaked as is the custom. The drunkest guy actually physically stopeed people as the rest of us with buckets would soak them, hehe. The one video i got is quite funny. So 4 hours later or so, i'm pretty tipsy, even though i was gonna stop frinking and i had to get on a plane to another country. I had no choice though... Anyways, the flight went off great, so much better than a 24 hour bus ride and there was even a person waiting at the other end with my name on a sign to take me to my hotel in the old town. Went walking around that night in search of some pho, ran into this student who was selling books and maps and such for money for shcool, maybe... and he took me to this place and we hada huge meal, with all types of meats and this big bowl of boiling broth that we cooked it all in. it was really awesome, no matter what the bill was, it was worth it. Woke us the next day to take the day hanoi toor. Saw Ho chi minh, interesting... creepy..., saw some museums and some famous pagodas, tiring day but worht it if your only here for a day. When we returned i walked around the old quarter adn got totally lost of course, the streets here are ridiculous, not much street room, way too many motorbikes and cars and almost no rules, hehe. I have trouble even walking, i couldn't imagine driving. Now i'm writing this entry. Tomorrow morning i will be taking a 2 day trip to halong bay and then when i get back to hanoi, i hope on the overnight train to Da Nang. Well gotta get some dinner, take care everyone. The weatehr here is sooo mcuh better, nice comfy sleeps and no need for air/con, mmm...
