First night in Hanoi

After a 45 minute drive from the airport, we arrive right in the middle of it all! The streets are 10 times busier here than in Cambodia. Streets that are the width of a large Europenian car are being walked on, driven through, cycled through, and biked through all at once … with millimeters to spare. It’s impressive. If I was driving I would haveĀ been stressed about the damage, but our driver is obviously used to it.

We got out the taxi and were greeted by this. The street was so densely packed with people, the atmosphere was fantastic. Food everywhere, beer everywhere, people everywhere.

After dumping all our stuff in the room, next on the agenda was dinner. We had a wonder round the streets near our hotel and sat down at one of the many placed that offer food. All the place you can eat or drink at have tiny tables and chairs for you to sit on! We went for Salt & Pepper Chicken (grissle or feet, we are not sure). We tried it, but didnt eat all of it as it was basically like eating cartilidge. Great experience, though.

The hotel room has a laptop in it. Total Good send, as using my mobile all the time is wearing thin. A previous guest was clearly a connaisseur of the adult material, with such a specific search term to get right to it.

This is what walking around the temples will do to you.

The water we got tonight

Water we got with dinner tonight. If I ever need to ask for this in a shop, I won’t be able to keep a straight face.

Found some sound Travel Happy advice

Whilst looking for some information on how much money we should be expecting to change in to Vietnamese Dong… I found this gem:

http://travelhappy.info/vietnam/how-much-money-do-i-need-in-vietnam/

This one stood out to me because of the language that the author decided to use. I was expecting an informative and useful article, but instead I just wanted to share it here for completely different reasons!

A couple of direct quotes:

“Laos will dong you up if you’re headed east.”

But your first dong will probably spit out at you from an ATM

Why would this person write like this if not by accident? Slipping in a cheeky sexy pun doesn’t hurt anyone, but was this person trying to be funny and inject a little humour in to the mix or were they oblivious to their hilarious way or writing? Especially on dry subject like currency,… Can’t blame them for spicing it up to keep you engaged.

Anyway,… made me laugh!

p.s. For anyone thinking of travelling to Vietnam, this information is now unfortunately out-dated and the prices and exchange rates mentioned will not be accurate.

What did the upper class haddock say to the sauce pot when it was leaving?

“Tartar!”
