Ha Noi, Vietnam






Arrived in Ha Noi saturday morning. Surpisingly easy to get thru customs which is to say they stamped my visa and i was off to the old quarter. Unlike HK, Ha Noi is filled with backpackers but not US, mostly europe, australia and canada. Ha Noi is a crazy city - scooters everywhere and no traffic laws. Everyone just goes when and where they want to. Reminds me of a human frogger game trying to cross the street. The streets are an absolute maze and change names every few blocks. Great city to get lost in. Saw Uncle Ho in his mausoleum - a highlight for sure. Also visited the Hoa Lo Prison (or Hanoi Hilton).
