Of course many foreign language can't be preparing old donkey spent half a month's time on the Internet to go to the National Broadcasting Council, for which you want to happen when visualizing in the Xin. Basic And made a detailed plan, some unfamiliar links; for example: how to apply for a transit visa, how to rent a car etc is done a lot of notes, so that later feel like regular people who do these things. "Not playing without preparation of the war"--this is the old donkey are convinced by the motto! in order to control costs, old donkey each fee are recorded for later trip for reference.

After six months of preparation, and finally to the departure date.

9: 15 pm leaving to the airport, Shenzhen Airlines, Nanjing, Nanning, Qingdao — transit.

To Hanoi bus 9: 00 am, the car seat only half of the people, each person had a bottle of mineral water. The roads are very good full-speed, 11 o'clock to Pingxiang, car in the nearby restaurant to eat lunch, there is taste the dishes of Viet Nam, insipid. But every man also issued a postprandial fruit pear. When someone constantly to peddle Viet Nam shield, asked about the exchange rate is 1 RMB and Viet Nam shield: 2900, completely out of the exchange rate as we know, such high prices we can't believe mongers say because these days RMB, Hanoi is 1/1950. Finally we decided to go to Hanoi, because one is afraid to counterfeit money, anyway, we went to Hanoi as there can be multiple change some, finally proved that this decision is right, because we in the car when I bought a car waiter hands of Viet Nam calling card, then she said, how good and how well that went to Viet Nam later found the phone card can beat the Viet Nam national rather than international, if you want to make international must go to recharge again. It's all too easy and people fooled.

At 12 o'clock to houyiguan, China's largest bus transfer us to the end of the trip here, we want to convert Viet Nam's bus.

The car has a battery car transfer us to the gate, armed police have just glanced at us in the hands of the passport and visa on OK. The Chinese Gate and car transfer us to Viet Nam gate, where we have to fill out the entry form, if you do not fill it does not matter, 10 Yuan he helps you fill out.

That will soon be gone, which knew that day because not many people, the results in the car waiting 2 hours to drive to Hanoi is 17: 30. Waiting for the bus stop in Hanoi, roadside immediately rush up a group of people are found. Opening is 12 dollars, scared and we dare to find them! last after a great bargain, 4 dollar transfer us to the Kiem new coffee's Office of the resident. Full display after the Chinese travel market-places of exercise, Viet Nam people simply shrugged off zaike!

New coffee offices are located in the edge of the sword also city, Hubei Province, and also the backpackers and the CityGuide to congregate.

The price is already here than in many of the Internet increases. Read the N number of later finally chose the new coffee, just opposite the fake new coffee Inn, here are 7 USD/night. The room was simple but air conditioning and a separate bathroom, although in 3 floor, plus a layer of downstairs is actually 4 floor, narrow staircase only one pass. For baggage heavier the CityGuide to run may not be a good thing, because the luggage looks then moved down must not be a good thing.

Settle down after finding a place to eat to Viet Nam's first meal, then go to the door of the new coffee contact tomorrow's Halong Bay tour, new coffee's staff is a young man, expressionless very cold, no good attitude of service, good in the us on the Internet already know this, so it's not about him, watched him higher than the price we know to many, the decision to abandon a new coffee also looking for a travel agency, signed to Halong Bay tour of the tour, 14 USD/person.

Finally go gold store Exchange ratio of 100 u.s. dollars, is 1: 19300 watched so many zero cash, a few hours or a string of zeros and disoriented innumerable, maybe the waiter was already see more strange, teach us how to count the money.

When this denomination huge money ticket pocket, we suddenly feel pockets bulging, all become a Tycoon.

Today's weather is still a drizzle, go to the next Bay car start at 7 a.m., but in the city to tourists from all the connected hotel houses out of town is 8 point later, half-way drivers stop and wait a bit later, it seems that as long as someone is to bring all the drivers.

Smooth all the way at the back, weather it has turned out to be the Sun also came out, but the sky is grey-like a layer of yarn, Viet Nam's weather is so bad? car arrives at the following Bay Pier boat and visit the famous sea Guilin — Halong Bay Islands. Eat lunch on board, lunch (serving fewer poor, can only be symbolic of eating that when losing weight with stomach night back to Hanoi to eat), the tour guide in a floating restaurant tried desperately to everyone selling seafood, unfortunately there is no response, it seems that the Earth is known here zaike badly trompe, the ship stopped many small traders rowing boat filled with fruit to Pocket sales, of course, price is not fei. Here's attractions if not such a strong business climate, Or worth watching. But now look at it than it was originally expected, but it is not known, only when under to this tour.

Cruise ships in the sea around in a circle back to shore, according to a previously visited people said and now rarely a beach scene, perhaps the place didn't tickets no seafood Guide no good, so I canceled the Beach attractions.

But anyway, also don't expect here have more fun, why not leave some ideas to the beach to South Vietnam.
