October Il Divo, Cambodia-Vietnam tour of journaling (12)-10/9 Hanoi

9 October-Ha Noi (Ha Noi)

From hue to Hanoi take up to 14 hours by car, but fortunately this segment have sleeper overnight train, or even the iron man also support.

Sleeper car clean is the hotel, go to slippers, then send a bag put shoes to dress up. There are toilets on board, like the kind of on the aircraft. Quilt pillow is very clean and tidy and very comfortable soft. Think of our domestic sleeper, FABI!

Thought you can sleep in the car, the snowfall, flat feels good! car in motion, had less than half an hour is difficult.

Not a car is the way!, Viet Nam is not as good as any of domestic high-speed flat, pitched a lot. In order to be quiet, I was sleeping on the floor, near the window top more powerful. The body does not keep sloshing, left is around a window, the right is the fence, he kept around, get people aching. Also always encounter big pit, that the person will be flying up, then the "pop!" a falling, the pain was called. Stumble arrived in Hanoi, has stood as a tortured, consolation is a night of Thai massage. Despite its sympathy Ah ~

Long heard that Viet Nam farther North Vietnam no fun, and worse, it left a mind.

I didn't expect the end than I thought there was poor. Rains of lvyoumen each met angry thing, to me slowly!

Morning 7 points more arrive Hanoi, feeling the whole urban gray as the capital of the country seems to be less then the point.

The car is no exception, stop at shin café, on the way to let us down. Your car will encounter many soliciting of bringing us their hotel. Is not a bus driver and they are a gang? very is suspected. All the way down, of course, we are extremely confident shin café, heard that Hanoi Office shin café around the many guest house, we offer a Wang Jing and on to Beijing to ass tour couples together is called a TAXI and drove to the shin café.

Another great wonder, Hanoi streets even are more shin café, is too numerous.

Fortunately, we have authentic shin café address, otherwise the driver will either find a home and get us. To do that, the rundown, around any fake than it's more like it, it never ends, confused as real ones, what ghosts! Beijing mix couple bought in shin café summer Bay tour tickets, baggage a hosted directly to play. We listen to the other way, said Charles Bay do not mix them, was a chop-people simply won't go away, decided to play in the city. So we set out to find the hotel.

Shin café around the many guest house, ask a circle, almost all in about 20 knife, amazing price.

But the room was very worn, the unusual smell, not at all worth the price. Because we are carrying a large 3 package, inconvenience after walking, simply call a TAXI. Full 4, 5, and finally decided. 8 knives/night, room generally, most major price live together. Hanoi taxi drivers are chopped, and very little English, communication is difficult. In accordance with the table on the price should find me 7 thousand guilders, he only gave me 2 thousand guilders. I immediately pointed at the table together, this group of people questioned shrugged into the driving position, I thought he would get nothing explained things to me, I didn't expect to "call" a car on the fly like slip away. Leave us three inexplicably standing there.

The hotel is managed by a local couple opened, there are 2, 3, a small boy, looks up the ball and was full of enthusiasm.

At the hotel door hanging shin café signs on again is a fake!! we entered the place packs, sat down to breakfast, the little dude's enthusiasm to face the Rugose, to help us provide tickets. Hanoi to Nanning ticket, Raiders, approximately 140 Yuan, but his mouth out prices redeem is 28 knife (210 RMB), and scare the shit out of us. Few of his sentence, and decided to go out and buy yourself or! Wang Jing to buy a train ticket to Yunnan, and her road to go.

Breakfast, we go to the Red River in the vicinity of the hotel, there is every morning to Nanning bus, in the end is the prices, RMB 125 Yuan/Zhang is bought, the next morning at half past 9.

Red River hotel next to house full of big supermarket, inside bought point local small snacks, ready to bring back home to give as gifts. The hotel breakfast was very nice, the coffee is brewing, bread is rigid, we certainly didn't eat, see a relatively clean rice noodle shop, rushed in. Beef and rice flour is very delicious, compared with other parts of Viet Nam, the only difference is that here the rice flour is equipped with dough, to put the dough into the soup and eat on soft, easily satisfied.

Out of small rice flour Museum, prepare Raiders khu area.

The Viet Nam shield with not much to go and change money. Find a counterfeit of shin café, 10 knife, shopkeeper put 5 Chin shield when 5 million guilders change to me, luckily I fairly sensitive numbers, immediately found. Too much money for good! walk out of the brigands, we looked at the map, about 4 km away from the Memorial, we call a QQ-taxi, start price is 9 thousand guilders (4.5 RMB), just feel cheap, but a moving trolley, meter on the fly like revolve, 2 million, 3 million and 4 million ... But the road is not out of the 2 km! "STOP!" on to the jumper to 5 million 6 (28 yuan), I really can't help uncontrollably, "It ' s run too fast!" The driver did not greet me cut. Finally I still pay out 5 million 6/f, Sulky.

Walk 1 km, the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum.

It should be said that this is the entire Centre of Hanoi, the status will speak to us of Tiananmen Square, grey marble building, and very stylish. Because of this day is October 9, 10, is the founding day of Viet Nam, Ho Chi Minh mausoleum in preparation for the national day, is not allowed to go, we'll have to stay out of the military parade on the goGo. Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, the former four guard wearing a white uniform, and in front of etiquette in China Tiananmen soldiers in nature. You can look at them, laugh we all straight down to the waist. A against the marble wall eyes straight-edged ridges at day; one hide in the eaves and avoid big solar; a slowly pacing ur; there are also a more funny, walked back and forth, see flowers reached for the "pop" pick a flower. I really want to raise your camera to this group of Hanoi etiquette soldiers photographed ecologies, lg stopped. He was afraid I put the camera on them at our might their waist another gun.

Around the khu, closed it was noon time, nearby shopping Shopping.

There is a single-column Temple, a small pond in the Centre of a root cylindrical, above the top of a small monastery, very compact way. Memorial gate side, there is a Buddhist temple, this combination is very discordant, whether it be architectural, or sense. It's very confusing. In the afternoon, the Museum opened, very interesting a Memorial. In praise of great pictures real Ho Chi Minh's exhibition at the same time, the pattern of many to France as the representative of European art history, a bit in the ocean, neither fish nor fowl.

A Memorial Hall, all the way to go to a temple and see.

Get tired, near the Lake of stone Chair to sit down and rest your feet. No sitting next to a little long before women came up and asked if we want to drink, a coconut asked a knife to 1, which can be more expensive than other places, we head down. Unexpectedly, this small booth immediately rushed to get us off from the Chair. Wonder, of course, very angry. I gave her name is "this is a public place, I have the right to sit here!", she ignored me. Look around, find a line along the Lake each stone is placed on a coconut shell, this is the hawker seats available, that bought the coconut to sit here!, sat what regulatory regime, we broke away.

The temple gate, lg thirsty, want to buy his favorite sugar cane juice.

Find a small stall, ask 2 Chin shield, "OK, take a", ready to pay money, the boss of the House rushed out of the mouths whispering straight guagua, see we clamour to understand it, from Pocket took 4 2 Chin shield, so indicate this bag Sugarcane juice to 8 thousand guilders. She look we are tourists, feel free to increase the price. I can heat of the moment, cursed the word "shit", took the lg turned away.

Into a temple, a temple of Hanoi is very atmospheric, layers of progressive, Hall is particularly impressive.

Visible Chinese cultural influence for Viet Nam. Out of the temple, leg already walk, TAXI is not afraid to sit up, ask the TUTU. To Hanoi's most famous city of the Great Lakes is estimated only 2 km away from the tutu driver surprise pleasures — 8 knives than TAXI also chopped badly, we once again turned away and left. Tutu drivers along with us, all the way from 8 cutter price drops 1 knife, but we have suffered harm, "and" not to ignore him. Tired and thirsty, fortunately, see KFC, estimate now only international chain of fast food in Hanoi are the prices. I never imagined in Hanoi's KFC meal turned out to be!

The Great Lakes in the city centre of Hanoi, a bit like the West feel, but scale to much smaller than the West Lake.

Around the lake walk don't have estimated 1 hour. It is very boring, because the scenery is not going to be. We and some nice lvyoumen 8 points in a small restaurant in Hanoi (Hanoi on the Raiders said small is good), so there are a lot of time to kill. We went to Hanoi, near the Cathedral, the Church makes it very like Notre Dame de Paris, old old, since the days of dark cannot be entered. The Church has many features arts and crafts shop, we bought a little gift. There are also many massage places, it's still early, we went to do a 1-hour foot massage, to ease the fatigue of the day to walk. Here's the fundamental than domestic massage techniques, can live together.

Had to wait until 8 o'clock, you have come to the little Hanoi, eat while the Exchange day encounter many other conditions.

Beijing couple went back and forth summer Bay, 8 hours by car, lunch for an hour, really play even 2 hours without a bite! King Jing men go, the camera nearly got snatched a motorcycle!, of course, we all took a TAXI, are being cheated ... Angry, we recommend the Raiders little Hanoi restaurant also raised dissatisfaction. Menu variety rarely, waiter on foreigners obvious than on our polite, serving very slow, and very delicious. We called the spring rolls and sandwiches, taste like La General.

Hanoi's play in all of a piece of complaining about the noise in the end, didn't think our trip to Cambodia and Vietnam will be so disappointing ending.

No wonder there are Raiders, Viet Nam must turn North to the South, "Viet Nam Vietnam and the United States." But this is also characteristic of the city, the experience is the most important, isn't it?
