Hanoi's day

Espence settle down last night was already eleven o'clock in the evening, local time.

For the second day the MSC in Hanoi tour, I didn't care whether late late, give in Beijing over the network, contact the Director of Tropic Tour Tom a call, who told his e-mail to me that I had contact with him again in Hanoi! phone and he asked me to address, and then describes the early arrangements, call me in the hotel, such as his phone.

Awoke in the morning, local time is less than six, but in a far away at the Beijing is fast.

Get rushed a hot bath will go out to eat breakfast. Asleep in front of the duty to give I opened the door, you ask me why, back when it is full.

Day light, alley, people in the door with their infants ready to buy a little earlier: spring rolls, rice flour or something.

I took the LP, look for signs to look for the name of the restaurant bar Café Moca. Streets of Mo's driver active come towards me, asked where to use his car. I said no, pointed at the map on the LP, asked him heelo.which, drivers are kindly give me directions, and not entangled. LP on highly Moca Café, located off the I live Espence however three minutes walk! a cup of tea, five egg bread dip bees wax (honey), eat a lot of fun! sat down large window and watch the locals go there from time to time: carry the hawkers selling fruits, there is also a sink with slippers and a woman in a lazy; in the morning light but it is quiet, lounge-show, undertone busy; completely unlike the sun comes out, packed into a string of infants of galloping, motorcycle streaming song and tutu's motor noise, noisy and dazzling. The day of Hanoi Street, I fear crossing, motorcycle racing, after former coach and a half meters distance apart, but doing it is uniform and crazy line makes me look but balked.

After breakfast, return to Espence, roadway of vendors who have a lot of business, and Tom also send someone to pick me up, I didn't expect quite trustworthy.

Named Son tour guide to take me on the bus, we are a team of 7 people's Coalition: a pair of France old couple, two Canada Lady, a young couple of Korea, the Korea girl looks like playing the big long "Lee. The total love for snacking, mouth not busy Lady of Canada and I mixed together, she said I like big with her daughter, then the total "daughter, daughter" call me, I just called her "mother sang". She saw my LP, ask me where to buy, I said I was in Beijing took over beautiful knife buy and discover the Moca Café only 7 beautiful knife, is piracy. Later in the edge of khu infants on up, and also the price 7 knife, I helped her hard bargain to 6 knives. Only one tool in the beauty she'll want to make me eat sugar, and to give me an icecream!

Today's attraction to me purely forms, like outsiders to Beijing will have to go to a trip to Tiananmen Square, the great wall.

Hanoi those temples simple and small badly, if Hanoi people to go to Chinese temples, must feel dumb!

At the end of the runs, my Son said I'm going to the Office of Tropic Tour, not only because today's tour costs haven't paid, but I need to buy later southbound Bus tickets Open.

Son asked me to leave Office there are ten in meters of a car, you said goodbye to continue sending "mother sang" them back to the hotel. I suddenly thought, they can really trust me, I will fear no me halfway gone without paying! including Espence 08 last night in, the receptionist said no deposit when you Check Out, pay the room rate. So after the Tropic Tour I offered to pay me a tour of the city today, the reception I have Chinese descent boy music, say know I, because last night I called him and Tom. Today's cost to my 15 knife, cheaper than my cabin 3 knife, don't know why. From Hanoi to Sai connection Open Bus fare to 25 knife, I said to my e-mail Tom price is 24. Last total paid US $ 39. I also asked him water puppet where to buy the ticket, he said exactly as he had a night, it was bought for others, the man not to go to the ticket you can give me. It is a very Nice person in Viet Nam.

And then it then, back to Espence (found not far from the Tropic Tour), rest, and to find the Little Hanoi LP recommended for dinner.

The restaurant at the Kiem not far away from the corner of a crossroad. A big bowl of rice under the belly, and a cup of fragrant Lotus tea, let me free to extreme earth products, look out the window of motorcycle stream, from the day on skylight point to consumption lamps; from only one table next to me full of yellow, and black hair of backpackers. Look out the window, now relax even tea, in books write down my feelings at this time, from time to time have a look around the foreign tourists. Wait and then consume a consumption, and later, and then go to the view of the famous water puppet ...

Very satisfied with the local drivers that Mo's total to chat up, but you don't need a car, they would never say anything; you ask, they will be very honest guide you.

Ok, first here!
