0. down clock dial up

To enter the territory of Viet Nam, the first thing to do is to watch over one hour, Viet Nam time than Beijing time by one hour.

The Hanoi, I think that this behavior has a special meaning: time reversal here, about life in the 1980s. (Not despise, any survival are its rationality, just a feeling. ) So as to look at that time our own life. Familiar, done that.

1. lost in motorcycle River

3: 40 to Hanoi.

Get off at the beginning, the complete cultural shock. Out of the driver of the motorcycle lanhuo surrounded, tossing around a travel agent at get a business card. At that time did not think of this card. There is no way to be found, no language is available, there is no information to guide. As a result of a prior too much about the whole of the routes and methods, not on the city too. In accordance with the LP, "a book of advice, to motorcycle traffic lane. Practice has proved that a stranger arrived early, it is impossible to find in Hanoi. "Old? I want to go to the old city. "Street motorcyclists became belligerent!:" motorcycle, motorcycle. "Finally, called a" traveling in a taxi "(all of the guidelines have emphasized that, to avoid being slaughtered), to find my coach shoupiaodian.

Open the two travel agents — Kung Trup Hanoi and the whole bus ticket, you can check a station, a bus is very good.

Km, to save time, generally the traveler is at night, take the bus, passenger base are self-help tourists, there is no need to worry about security issues.

Operating the line of travel a lot, it is worth to remind that try to buy these two travel ticket, other company's condition and service comparison has gaps. ”

2. the authentic open bus

So, I just ran the authentic "Sinh Cafe", the driver, the old city with in my Pocket went around to that place than Pan Tuo village complex, I know that was him play live, because the sun flower in my different direction.

Oh, and when he took me to stroll around the old city. Finally, the little old man would I in a building number similarities aside, after your I $ jibing, knock back is household, Chin Chin was immediately Khan. Go out and then call the second taxi, take out the second LP recommended home authentic "Sinh CafeOffice" (52 Luong Ngoc Quyen St.Hanoi City) address, is to 1 million. Add up to 6 million found a building number! to keep money in a few subsequent "0", later adapted to, not just 22 RMB?

There are photos to prove it (top right), the storefront and older users pointing as well.

Take the door, Miss playing with Viet Nam version of "happy network", I do not know if it is piracy. That all of my trip, jumping up and down, $ 42. Decides that night to leave, but the kitchen sink drivers brother detours I generally look at Hanoi. Hanoi to hue, overnight train, theoretically to 12 hours. Subsequently, in the old streets of the Hanoi important spots throw pocket, 2.5 million had a beef Bowl, a very small quantity of powder, results on the road in the middle of the night spent $ eat a bowl of chicken with rice.

Airfares (if you really have this concept), 18: 00 the over and over an hour later also do not know where.

As a result, an open motorcycle brother pulls me away. For the time being, I carried military packages, wearing a helmet, he set out at me in the river barge, the first time in Viet Nam by motorcycle, feel the power and prestige. To a centralized point on the overnight train, a train foreigners become colleagues. The sleeper, quite good, headrest in the descendants of the foot, the foot in the predecessors of the head, blanking, actually can hold 30 people, air conditioning, toilet, what for has also in complex.

After the practice has proved, that the "Sinh Cafe Office" is a good way to change more than once, with all the quality sleeping car, and has not been "sold" to the other.

Unfortunately, did not realize this until later. This is the way down the line.
