Tonight we will spend on the coach, tomorrow morning we will arrive at the second stop of hue!

Our line of farmers ' markets, first after taste out local rice noodles.

First stop, go to the last night of theater is visited, bought today 4 point of puppet theatres tickets. Then go to the opposite also sword Lake, Ngoc. Famous Kiem's allusions: Le Ngoc also sword on for this is because this woman! Hi Providence, also on the temple are not too interested, that the purpose of this visit. Mess around in a circle, you start to swing POSE from the Lake, by the way, waiting for you.

Soon after, we decided to fight St.Joseph Cathedral would s, stops, eat ice cream, I and Kay jinwozi gold can not miss the girls love shopping.

Joking way, soon to! Church looks very simple, all the way around and finally the Church of the right hand side to find the entrance. Just a group of kids in, according to edge 2 gweilo guide said that, in the Church usually there is no active when we're Kids Garden. after a while, the children started rehearsals, estimated to have the activities performed. Inside look at a club came out.

Next stop is the temple!

This woman dressed in Shanghai when he and his friends said, going to Viet Nam.

They asked, are you going to look at what Viet Nam? I would never want blurted out, where there is a temple of! there is. .... At this time, he was a friend Rob White said that, there's something wrong with the strategy to a temple to! my doorstep grindstone, the tickets I bought you! also ran so far away dry, full support. This time they decided to let you see exactly what's different strategy!

All the way through arduous journey finally arrived from the Temple of the Church, during which I and Kay jinwozi gold using body language instead of Viet Nam, bought a water and rest for 2 minutes.

Passing a sell garlands, wreaths and China is a bit similar, but they are all fresh flowers, and are slightly oval! passing life in narrow-gauge train tracks 2 sides of slum district. There are said to be very famous but seems nothing human food Street. Finally after Thailand Embassy entrance guard GG's point, we have to find a row looks like pure solid yellow pen MM (known as: people shoot people different Pan Jinlian, pen is also. The greatest discovery of mankind, is our fat WW Discovery drops. The Confucius Temple in the side of the handle).

Since we found the side door, of course, you will find the main entrance of the LOR! (known as: walking in the door! hee hee we but normal tickets, as Viet Nam tourism contribute) to say that this temple and we Shanghai what different Mody. .....

Bigger than Shanghai, door pool, there are fish.. ..... In fact, it seems like nothing different. That's why we want to? this is for our team to answer, this is not a cultural trip? we m cultural strategy! Tibetan incense Silvestri said, this temple! but having the oldest university in Viet Nam, Oh ~ ~ College strategy!

Confucian temple, has been faster than noon! and hungry and top with a large sun, unanimously demanded sacrifice vital Temple.

So we ran back to the lonely food Street for lunch, I do not know is over the lunch hour, really is a one metre. Our line of finished drink, ready to go to Ho Chi Minh Grandpa. Go to the Memorial Hall, just think, in the end is. ..... Real or fake? approximately 15 minutes away, you see a big lawn that's square. Alas, it seems not open yet. Also good! I'm very afraid of these two immortal drop. ..... Then, a group of us bypass to the back of the Ho Chi Minh's former residence, a look to buy a ticket, do not hesitate to get in? really intend to shoot some photos of the door, only to discover that no one seems slightly PSAs! so a group of us went to visit the swagger. Ho Chi Minh comrades Ah ~ ~ really good comrades, how simple the communist comrade, carry forward simple quality. Live with the yard there is a Lake, there are also private cottages you can enjoy the lake view, like a park. There are 2 vehicles imported cars for his use. People, after all, the President?

The overnight train frightening

From the former President, we hurried to fight to the theatre, 4 points will start the puppet shows.

Side hatch with air conditioning, listen to cannot understand the words sung by Viet Nam Viet Nam minor, watching puppet in water moving to move to. Side 2 side around and also the shuaishuai ET and Tibetan incense Silvestri discussion is what principle strategy! 1 hour, is not stuffy, passed quickly. Finally, all of the curtain, yanzhi staff out and we guess the principle really. A happy, look at how clever occasionally are slightly! however, yanzhi staff really hard, to soak in the water?

Well, at this point, we travel to Hanoi to put an end to the LOR almost! finally back to the hotel, we planned to have time to hue.

嘿嘿! while waiting, we completed the last night and didn't want to do, perhaps in opposite the hotel to eat. 8 wrong wrong, no stay 8 nothing regret!

Evening 6: 30 we booking van company sent a car to the hotel after we sent us to the hue of the bus.

It's my 10-year-old first time doing the overnight train to start a little luck! little excitement, East look West, also in the suburbs of Hanoi see bus overturned. But this scene was also almost happened in our own way.

Things ïanswer:

Gradually, this woman could not resist the boring and sleepy, asleep.

Don't know how long, suddenly felt the car shaking, and hear the screams of Kai jinwozi gold. I woke, the car also pitched in, I tried to pull the front seat in balance, still do not know what happened. (I seem to have asked edge shuaishuai ET:? 8, m to answer me. ), And other car calm down, I saw the car outside the narrow-gauge trainTracks, and think that drivers when driving a car, not careful dozing off her car to the track. Soon, the car began to calm people down, it is estimated that this time is 1 minutes! this woman to continue to the header in the sleep, the mist of window eyes saw red small train, just ask: we will not be open to Rails? sleep, it seems that someone answer me, rest assured that someone will look at, so that sleep! about 12 point car after a rest stop everyone off, many people just in Exchange, they know things ïanswer is not!

(This section is purely personal feelings, lollipop clout if not true, please refer to the article or, where appropriate, supplementary plot!.

Thank you * _ ^)

South travel insurance to witness a true Viet Nam (part five article 6 days)

Sixth day: morning Hanoi, Pavilion Plaza at the ceremony, visit Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh's former residence, military Museum (flag Tower), sword Lake in the afternoon continue also, 36 Street, with the spring market shopping, near Hanoi Cathedral.

Today we travel to Hanoi in the Pavilion area visit, here is the seat of the Government of Viet Nam States, equivalent to Beijing's Tiananmen Square and the seat of the Zhongnanhai.

In order to be able to see in the Pavilion Plaza, Viet Nam's national flag-raising ceremony, we got up early, CGS Mengmeng bright grin spread kunyi climbed up, had breakfast in hotel (and similarly in Viet Nam rice flour plus porridge), drove to.

But we arrived at the bus station Plaza flag-raising ceremony when nearing a close, the flag has risen, is the national flag of honor class.

We are on the square in front of the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum photo, after also in Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, visit.

As Ho Chi Minh mausoleum also wait an hour before the door opens, we begin to walk to the bus station square, near the oldest temples in Viet Nam — — single-column Temple visit.

Single-column temple as the name suggests is a pillar of the temple hold up, have a thousand years of history, was built by emperor Taizu Lee. Single-column temple area although is very small, but the eyes of the people in Viet Nam has a lofty position, when the first and fifteenth here are many pilgrims incense.

From single column temple we walk to the Ho Chi Minh's former residence, this is also the seat of the State Council, Viet Nam.

The following figure, this figure is Viet Nam State Office building.

This is the way in Ho Chi Minh's former residence and buildings.

The following figure of the Automobile Museum are on display in the 1950s heads to Viet Nam former President Ho Chi Minh, Viet Nam in the early days of poverty, national exceptions cannot be the production of cars, even the national Chair by car are the heads of the donation.

The following figure this second layer of high foot cabin is at Ho Chi Minh President's residence.

In General, Ho Chi Minh's former residence in landscape very beautiful, warm and quiet, there is a large artificial lake, green tree complements the huts along the way, the road is full of tropical plants, where walking is enjoy!

Visit the former after Ho Chi Minh, almost to the door of the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, we line up on the day after the security check, becoming the first to enter the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum internal visitors tourists.

Ho Chi Minh mausoleum's appearance in front of the picture I have show you. Enter the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum is to first of all, through the security check of the tourists of all electronic devices are confiscated, cameras, camcorders, cell phones, etc. are to be taken in, are not allowed to take photographs inside the mausoleum and the video.

Through the security check, we followed the crowd slowly entered the Tomb, the place is very small but it is the cold pressing, this is not the manufacturing of air conditioning and natural.

It is said that all Ho Chi Minh mausoleum is used inside India produced natural gem inlaid, these gems to create a natural "limbo" so that it can play a role in saving the coffins. Enter the address in to the tombs, we just walked around in a circle, place small most only 60 square meters, the median is a sunken open and placed in a stone coffins, sleeps one person above (I'm sure it should be a sculpture, made of what is not clear), stone coffins four corners have a soldier standing guard, tourists are not close to the stone coffin, can only be seen through the railing. As people we must go out, the entire visit process less than 3 minutes.

Then we walked to the nearby military Museum of Viet Nam.

Viet Nam is a war trauma, Hanoi is also a war is a profound mark on the city, the military Museum of nature is a must for every visitor to the community.

Military Museum is divided into the outdoor exhibition area and indoor Hall two departments (front page of the photo is the outdoor exhibition area), where tourists can clearly understand the Viet Nam war vicissitudes of history. We are now imagine, when the people of Viet Nam is to use the old bike keg shells on the front of the people to play with the United States, a dozen is 20 years!

US military aircraft bombing Hanoi, the capital times, the entire city into a clearing, it left a figure of this flag Tower.

Hanoi people swear to defend then this flag Tower, their slogan is "flag in the Tower of Hanoi,!" in flames, rolling smoke will have smoked black tower, tower still stands tall banner, the flag remains high, the US imperialist aggressors shows the Viet Nam national spirit and soul!

Although the war had already gone, standing in front of flag Tower I seem to be able to feel the cruelty of war, to defend the country against Viet Nam people's dignity against external aggression and heroic sincerely respect!

In military museum I also saw a car, but unfortunately it is not possible to buy it back.

If you can open in Shanghai in the streets of a such a car, really super pull the wind Ah! haha!

Military Museum after the visit, ArvinMeritor also especially took us to the Chinese Embassy in Viet Nam.

It is said that the Chinese Embassy in Viet Nam is all the more national embassies stationed in the largest, stretching a street, but the floor is very short, maximum of two floors, this may be all the characteristics of the Embassy, in order to prevent the target too high vulnerable to attacks.

At this point, our team of travel has been all over; after lunch, we begin a true sense of the free line, no wonder then accompany our tour guide, we have to go around Hanoi.

Last night's shopping desires to have not met yet, we decided to return to the City Centre also sword Lake 36 rows along to play, let drivers and guides the way drive us to also sword Lake, and they temporarily parted. Free line follow before said OK, we want to take a taxi or a motorcycle to play, the travel agency is no longer assumed our car, accompanied by a tour guide also no longer. Consider today is a special day, December 31, 2009, the people of Viet Nam to new year, had a late tonight back into the hotel, go to may not call a taxi, and take a taxi, you might as well make a car now, heart, like pay anyway. After deliberation, our drivers willing to earn tips, weIntended for his car, a total of four individuals to give him $ 100 RMB, and so we play well, or we are in the car and the driver then we now take us back. In this way, the driver and tour guide ArvinMeritor simply does not go, they parked the car in Kiem nearby car park, near here, too, and we played together back in the evening.

Real free line began, we came last night stroll along the 36 rows, only one or two last night shopping street, continue shopping trip.

Viet Nam's exquisite handicrafts, paintings, lacquer painting, art works too let people like that I have always been good this estuary, this will be like fell into the honey jar, happy! 36 rows along really messy, originally we have mood took the map the map, and finally throws open the map, simply to go where the operator where! anyway, this area shops, a House to a House, full of shops, have visited; go tired everywhere can see small ambience of the Café, go in for a cup of coffee taste a little dessert then stroll ...

Along the way, we want to see with the spring market, according to the strategy on a targeted specifically at Hanoi locals shopping sites, things are very cheap, off the map view from 36 street not far away, can walk past, so we walked all the way to ask, it is hard, the map is in English, the road is full of Viet Nam, go over to find a will English ask where at the moment, and then walked over and then find someone to ask where, finally let a travel agency staff to help us put the map around with spring market a few street names are translated into the language of Viet Nam, and all the way to find in the past, all in all seven of the eight turns, turns out it is not far away, but come looking for it took quite some time, and finally came to the market with spring.

I was surprised, not to be shocked! while watching Raiders said here is a rundown of the market, mainly in Hanoi locals in this shopping, not for visitors of shopping; here's purpose may not be true, but shopping for a taste of the old streets of the city of Hanoi taste! we have prepared, but the later or shocked, here is basically like a gate of chicken farmers ' markets, and the dog to jump, fly at sixes and Sevens, noisy freak, the shop is also twisted twisted seven, eight have piled indiscriminately.

Do not dare to go in, that is at the door station a few minutes, I have a strong feeling like is going to be robbed, everyone has a strange eyes looking at us, I don't dare took out his camera filming machine (sorry, can not be for everyone to see photo), because I am worried that my camera was snatched away ... Not to mention the girls, even our line of the two men also felt very afraid, companions all said, we'd quickly run away, it too is not working properly ... But we just managed to come here, don't go see? while we hesitated, then there are two foreigners backpackers, Europeans (I used to have them call the foreigner, in fact, we here are foreigners), they should openly into the same spring market. This scene has given us a little encouragement, rushed, so come on in and take a look, even the foreigner can enter, we do not dare, if money was also robbed of their first, they take us more of us! we after some want adventure impulses and fears of kink, decided to go in and look; I also proposed for security reasons only entrance and nearby shops around not to in-depth market inside, if there is risk there fled and more quickly, unanimously endorsed. We have a road, there is still the market is a mess, the channel is extremely narrow, booths and stalls can be passed between even sideways. Not far from the entrance has a booth at the booth was a shisiwu-year-old girl in Viet Nam (only one girl), which makes us feel more secure, this girl can speak English, her stand on a lot of fine arts, we purchase in her here. Here's a very cheap price, arts and crafts than our 36 rows before shopping street, the same thing at least half the price is cheap. I bought a Viet Nam characteristics of lanterns, as long as 60,000 Viet Nam shield (equivalent to 21 million). Here I also bought a nice paint box with six coasters, prices are as long as the shield of Viet Nam 60,000 (equivalent to 21 million). As with the spring market too bad shopping environment, we still do not have the courage to stay here, but it is indeed quite cheap, but that is the cheapest market in Hanoi; if visitors can stand, here you can buy what you want any Viet Nam travel souvenirs.

But we cannot adhere to it, or to withdraw, leaving the booth girls in Viet Nam, please help us to call a taxi and talk about good price, we then went to Hanoi Cathedral, near the Church Street and Church Street, is the Occidental relative gathering place, West restaurant border are, many fashion shops, shopping with characteristics of the environment is good, of course, price is the price of super expensive, than 36 rows neighborhoods twice as expensive.

Hanoi Cathedral looks very strange, this is the largest Catholic Church in Hanoi, appearance was made black, looks old.

We here at a nearby Church Street and Church Street, has been around in the evening, is here to find a home environment good restaurant to eat dinner.

Time running out (we booked cars were back to hotel at nine at night), we go back to the Kiem Lake here and meet the driver and tour guide ArvinMeritor, go back to the hotel to rest.

Today's harvest, purchase a lot of fine arts and crafts.

But this also had a very unpleasant thing I must mention, my travel experiences to share with you all do what we want to go a few because the Ho Chi Minh City tourism and did not go into almost and tour Arabic noisy up broke. This, the still mentioned earlier, the first before the North Sea travel agency Liu deceives us say our visa only to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, can go to the South. We were with a grain of salt until starting in Mount Street crossing is good for us to handle Aling visa, we see only after confirming the Liu Hao was lying, our visa can go to any place in Viet Nam, stay for a month. Visa is like this

In Mount Street

When we confirm transit deceived, then just like that so you can go to Ho Chi Minh City, visa is, why not drop by to Ho Chi Minh playing days! wait to Hanoi, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, can be booked directly from flying to Ho Chi Minh City tour for two days. Tourist guide-language know we're going to Ho Chi Minh City idea (now it should be a North Sea travel and Viet Nam travel agents colluded with good), in order to prevent us from going to Ho Chi Minh City, ArvinMeritor from Mount Street transit has been holding our passport does not have to give us (he was helping us to do the "double check" in the second time after the visa and passport custody by his uniform), in fact, the way we have been asked ArvinMeritor to Passport, can he find a variety of reasons lying to us without your Passport, first said he came to help us provide Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh's return air ticket, air tickets reservation, we just need a passport in Halong Bay enjoyed, he helped us on the phone to solve airline tickets, passport, his uniform custody; later led us on that side of the storm, the city plane fly no flights (he lied level is too low, we already know Ho Chi Minh City, now is the dry season, foretold), and then later told us it was new year's day new year, air ticket booking not and so on ... Before you get to Hanoi, we only experience judging language in lying, and there is no conclusive evidence. Viet Nam's underdeveloped tourist information, before you get to Hanoi, we can only listen to one person say ArvinMeritor is nothing, because there is no network, no radio, television could make no sense, no newspapers or other media can learn a little about the weather, flight information.

To Hanoi, the situation is completely different, here is the capital of Viet Nam, English-speaking people in relatively more, 36 rows along many Trevel (Travel Club) and airlines shoupiaodian, today we stroll along this line 36, found several Hanoi local travel agents and airlines shoupiaodian asked, reaffirmed our visa can go to any place in Viet Nam, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi round-trip air ticket is quite adequate, and there is more than one period of flight can choose.

We then call the ArvinMeritor to airline ticket window, he clearly we are going to play, now Ho Chi Minh City is your Passport to give us good tickets.

ArvinMeritor see never cheat, this is with our Viet Nam travel showdown, told him to think of ways to stabilize our some visitors that don't offend nor can we put us to the Ho Chi Minh City.

Two reasons: first, the travel agency to guarantee that our security, frequent Chinese guests take advantage of the free line time secretly went to Ho Chi Minh City play a month back, if there are any accident, their travel agency is responsible, in order to prevent the escape of tourists, travel agents are usually collected off the tourist's passport. Secondly, we travel through China Beihai book Viet Nam travel confirmation of itinerary is arrived at Hanoi, trip do not arrange to Ho Chi Minh City for pleasure, so they offer is based to Hanoi's quote, if you had to go to the itinerary, the price of Ho Chi Minh City will not be is now such a cheap price. If we now want to change the trip to Ho Chi Minh City, first to notify the travel agencies in China in the North Sea, and then we will which by ArvinMeritor provides Hanoi Viet Nam travel round Ho Chi Minh City tickets, their travel agency quoted price is 2500 RMB per person (this is extortion, airlines shoupiaodian ourselves with Passport directly booking price only 1200 RMB per person, Viet Nam travel to on make money).

We are angry, face to face with ArvinMeritor noisy, but is unable to communicate with everyone thinking too far.

It is our understanding that we are the free line of guests, we just took the whole car, drivers and tour guides, Viet Nam travel agency cannot interfere in our travel free, we want to go in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, is our freedom, our own decision. To ArvinMeritor's understanding is that we are a row of four separate missions, although only four people is also a small mission, all to the team's itinerary, we provide trip before departure is to Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City without saying, so now we can as scheduled in Hanoi free line, Passport routinely by the tour guide to custody; if you want to change the trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam travel change will press the itinerary mode of operation, as they offer plus money.

In short, our quarrel to finally unable to reach a consensus, ArvinMeritor insists on not giving us passport, we certainly won't get killed by his offer to pay double the money to Ho Chi Minh City.

We broke up. Of course, we also can take extreme forms brought back the passport itself booking flying to Ho Chi Minh City, we can assure the Embassy of the people's Republic of China in Viet Nam, the guide is not entitled to alert the detention guest's passport, but we thought that we were to travel not to fight, even if we use extreme styles have their own passport to fly to the Ho Chi Minh City, according to the calculation of the time we returned home, most can only in Ho Chi Minh City for a day and a half (this time it seems too short), it is better to give up the idea of going to Ho Chi Minh City, comfortable stay in Hanoi tour, then have the opportunity to travel to Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam is good fun.

All in all, this thing let us very angry, in the final analysis, the first North Sea travel agency Liu Hao deception and deceit of the ArvinMeritor, although all the way and didn't give us any actual loss, but their behavior we felt wohuo.

The purpose of their partnership spoofing is simply want to earn some money, but finally did not earn a penny, their brains special rigid, it can be said to be causing harm to others and not egoism; we stayed in Hanoi free line they also is not possible to earn money. I wonder if they are too stupid, or we are so smart, sometimes clever nor is it a good thing, saw each other all the tricks but provoked their not happy!

Three, Sai Kung Kung fragment III

Third, the Sai III

Is an unexpected Prize took me to the Sai.

Viet Nam national airlines of Ms. Huang on the phone told me, "Hotel SAIGON in INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, three stars, in the area, but away from the city centre, the first area is also very near. "I started to look up information on the Internet. Increasingly understand the concept zone 1. An Sai almost all colonial splendor architecture focus area; is almost all backpackers collapsed regions; and most attractions in the region. You can see that many visitors to Saigon and they know the Kung this city is actually is only the first area, although there are a dozen Kung. No wonder to be artificially added "Oriental Paris" this creature's name.

Now, after the end of a wonderful journey, I would like to tell Ms. Huang, it could be a perfect arrangement.

From a geographic perspective, the area in the Centre of the city, while the more southerly downtown, near the Saigon River. I live in the hotel, from the first area is only two blocks, walk to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral twenty minutes. Kung Street is not spacious, but a dense, crossroads, as long as the immediately preceding a is large number of motorcycle and Horn sound interference you own quiet, Saigon is indeed a very suitable for walking the streets of the city. I travel every day, with maps, outlining Zangarmarsh, began in no hurry not corrosion.

Happens to the area, so I avoided always and everywhere backpackers, always seen only to visitors as the goal of tourist shops, and more able to see the life of the people in the city itself.

At night, just go to a street corner in the open-air bar to drink beer, as the natives sat in on a small bench and let the mind in its design, the slightest attention to watch their laughter, listen to them that too many use the guttural and nasal language, blowing forever summer breeze, feel than the REX HOTEL roof garden that world famous bar more long aftertaste.

The Church is also a lot more, temples, III at this point there is a great advantage.

The Jade Emperor Temple I also wear ½ö¹ýïï walk to. The symbol of 18 hell of beautifully arranged group sculpture works great, beautiful decor, while four of benevolence and restraining evil on Chinese couplet is straightforward and plain text. All clay sculpture bodhisattva is thick lines, including the face of the sculpture. The door has a bit of heshan Guangdong origin old Mr. amulets in writing. His brush is very poor, but also in Cantonese is quite good. He said, "I'm not out of the family. When escape from war and his family to Viet Nam, nor how much culture, but to write Chinese characters have very little, I just found this job to do. ”

In the last night, and my friends talk to one of the more authentic upscale restaurants, he said that as early as the prepared, when aircraft magazine just tore two ads, one restaurant INDOCHINE, one is the ANCIENT TOWN, is served on the former United States President Bill Clinton's restaurant before.

Two happen to have in the area, from Hotel walking distance to the absolute. Dilemma, in order to show that we are not kitsch, we chose to go to the latter.

Despite everything, the modernization of the city's corner, blinking eyes, its temptation to Sai GON III, and the Sai Kung, no decent high-rise buildings, we stayed in the hotel, although with a great name and a European-style, only three stories high.

This is so many Chinese people and superiority. But I'm not sure, Sai Kung, they really need is not something we found? — past in her body left too many traces of both proud and glorious, helpless, humiliation, suffering, one by one, Sai Kung never erase ... Many Western building rooftops, to stand a statue of the great statue of the goddess of too human ... Saigon in own way disseminated its charm. In Viet Nam short stay, I understand a truth, the quality of life, and is not cumulative quantity of life.

2/6 Kung

The happy life

Or overnight train, and came, two hours or so is going to stop and rest.

The world is a car, boat, ship or vehicle replacement, toss enough can, must have the most difficult part of the body and not the legs. Because you can't have a bath and body also residues of seawater, shoulder also bring some sunburn pain, some are considered from NHA brought back to the present. Tired beyond the limit, no matter where, just rely on sleep for a few minutes to feel refreshed.

00: 30, the car has stopped.

Get off, rub the eye, belongs only to find that the vision is so Dim that the implicit row left eye glasses do not know when to leave me. Your favorite gaoxiaodianying said, cock-eye can focus, but now want to focus, but can turn a blind eye to eye.

Theosophy and vision are not clear, this small hotel looks down to the very last night stopover sorta similar.

Sitting in a Chair or looking up at the night sky, because look fuzzy, anti sleep star soft better than yesterday, and scattered in the sky, arrange the infinite possibilities that are visible but not and happiness.

Have also some car over, just to see someone from the car window on I desperately waving.

Come to see, is a neighbor, led by MM. Go to Nha ago farewell, they will continue to experience of Viet Nam, Sai, however, that time through mutual road treasure, said goodbye and good back to Shanghai. Tonight, to go and stay in touch, so all dramatic accident is the journey of surprises. Found lying in the back seat of a neighbor, not in band world's Palm greeted him some force, henceforth went their separate ways, remeber in Viet Nam.

5: 50, back to Saigon café, four of sinh dark only a few lights.

Sorry to disturb our guests in the morning the hotel, I give you in small stalls to eat noodle right when the breakfast. Although early in the morning and not much appetite, beef noodles inimitable flavor or surprising. In half-tranced-relaxed vigilance, forget asking price in advance. Grilled Steak "next to the kind people," tells us that the two bowls of rice flour 1 u.s. dollars, the price of the original here or with the booth of language ability. Ignore her, took some tickets directly than to the old look, a bowl of 6000 shield deal.

No matter how to chew swallow, but it was not clear, most of the Hotel shops or not.

In the streets of Saigon, pending continued wandering the city's recovery.

Pham Ngu Lao Street, District 5 Argyle Street, the most famous backpackers home, cheap hotels and restaurants congregate.

From our hotel in 5 minutes on foot however, the late but frequents assorted shops never visit. Sitting opposite the van 5 Argyle Street, Central Park for the veil is lifted early morning light.

Gradually the light up the sky, to Angkor sunrise in the habit of getting up early today to also wait for the sunrise that purely helpless.

Continuous days oftener, fatigue limit should be there, I already spend the pole should be, if the holiday can extend, the journey continues, no sleep sleeping, tired tired. These days, although they eat not too bad, but I still feel the lack of balanced nutrition, lack of vegetable intake, your nails are due to the lack of calcium become vulnerable. Fortunately, the original fierce cold, because here's the hot, not drugs. While on their way to meet people, from the strange to the familiar, while waving phase after being separated from, and that have met the friendship, understanding is a travel grant of another kind of gift.

Finally, in the original stay hotel bath changing, clean.

7 dollars a night in deluxe room also comes with a number of baggage, to use public bathroom, they could always smiling, murmur, we had some really flattered.

Wash away the body of salt, and refreshed.

Get on the LP, hopes to claim that you want to use the foot measurement of Saigon.

First stop war crimes Memorial War Remnants Museum, the most famous Museum, Sai Kung, although the appearance of a normal, follow the map really not difficult to find.

Tickets $ 0.8, or press 1 USD: 14000 shield official exchange rates give you change, Britain, France, Japan, in brief as ticket.

In order to see the photo gallery, with a literal information proving that the land had been suffering.

War victim's body was riddled with problems of residual, post-war malformations child resignation of numbness, soldier, high-spirited, peoples against the station's call. All war is similar to the process, all the war will leave painful memories.

In poor light, black and white photos and small text in an effort to use in the right eye and you want to distinguish more clearly.

Some dizzy, I wonder if the pain is due to the eyes or the soul.

Small rifle grenades, shell aircraft tanks, here are on display to display.

They claimed the lives of countless people, now see once contaminated blood in the Sun or patchy the rusty stain, clearly visible, but is some copper scraps.

It also has a prison model, compared to the prison Museum Phnom Penh, penalty of diabolical, is gone.

Such a place, no matter how it is foretold, go round, heart health, but more chill, some reflections on human nature does not trust, quietly grow.

Maybe you'll try to forget that have occurred in these tragic scene, but it is silent, is power, is indelible evidence.

Going out, breathing fresh air, adjust the mood.

The streets are being breakfast of local people, even in the morning and eat steak, grilled barbecue and greasy, we look dumb, like today's people have Kung live a happy life.

Sai's attractions, mostly large and small museums, major or visit very beautiful colonial buildings, then go to is not far from Notre Dame Cathedral.

LP's map, it is a bit small, Notre Dame Cathedral Notre Dame Cathedral in central Saigon not marked on the map of the surrounding area while independent record

In Dong Khoi Area of the map, the us did not reverse the direction, while knowing that it was very close, but still only around independent Reunification Palace near the Palace around several circles, ask a lot of people will finally see the Cathedral towering Spire.

In most of the Church's structure, the building did not see how the special.

Only its Scarlet's towering figure, in Saigon and pure transparent azure skies, don't have a turn. Through the years, some light little color, however historical precipitation of elegant, different from the new expensive fancy.

Cannot be allowed to visit, do not know it is there high exclusion of roof and colored glass Windows, Sun shot down will not cross of projection.

Walk around it, the side window fine plaster carving, location is unobtrusive, but let people stay, repeatedly pondering.

Want to come as the name, the Virgin Cathedral, its beauty must be thoughtful and lingering. New repair things even with the same shape, but can't recover some lingering aftertaste of charm.

Through the Church in front of the green space and Christ like, just opposite the Main post office is the Central Post Office.

The post office on the front of the wall there is a lot like Greece myth of statue, it seems more than impressive cathedral.

From the yellow door in went in, spacious lobby, the floor tiles are fine patterns, high roof create a spacious feel. Counter seat, almost all internal facilities by the postal service's golden green and dark. Wall map of the old, Ho Chi Minh smiling head portrait, head of the older fans, all of the furnishings are silently swear it represents history.

Ears from time to time, there was a heavy sound, dressed in various color postmark of Viet Nam Cheong staff busy freely, their clothes are so gorgeous, it detracts from the beauty of their own at home, across from the flashes of the mobile landscape, empty leaves us sounds stunning laments.

Visitors ' attention, they are common, their work, perhaps it is necessary to maintain, this most ancient of the Sai.

Sitting on the couch, but feel calm.

Sun visor on the outside, the body Pro, like shuttle time tunnel, or into the movie screen, you can see the history of the yellowing near circulation reproduce, I exist, they are vanity, how to sign smile, to the post office in solemn and quiet atmosphere, leaving no traces of the next thread.

Stay at the time, the tour will end here.

Bo Tung Xeo Restaurant row in Southeast Asia's first LP, the book says it's Steak tasty shockingly cheap. We the people dead on LP to want to really eat was shocked to find the way in the Sun. 2 dollars more a BBQ, cured in the pulp and juice, beef enough 2 persons, ceramic stove flame burning flames, fresh beef in red barbed wire on the good sound, scent is so big the index finger. Deep-fried frog legs with some cream and sweet, is a rare and delicious. This last day, we pay close attention to eat more delicious, will leave the irreparable regret.

Go in search of the biggest market, only to find that most romantic charm, Sai Kung, and does not consist of so-called spots, but already infiltrated the streets.

In unknown Street walking, there are always surprises.

Decoration is simple but chic shops, display sections of integration and the Viet Nam national characteristics and France fashion elegant style of clothing, embroidered with beads and slippers and handbags, not expecting you come to the door with that face ladies chatter soft sells.

See cowboy t-shirt dress, in this atmosphere is simply to feel small. This kind of shops, most object-oriented like crazy shopping in Japan, the price is the same as the tone here, some out of reach. Here's some environmental style of comparable Shanghai Nanjing West or Huaihai Road, prices on the above sites perhaps buying, just the way we are used to price, most will not exceed the size of the cards, can't stand the list price on tens of thousands or tens of combat, not in vain, the conversion of dollars still under things wanted to quickly.

Occasionally passing a Plaza, white plaster statue, colorful flower beds, four eyes looked to believe is not fantasy, only because that is not true of the United States.

Along the occasional little girl at Paris, is some lover or Harry Potter, nobody would care if these pirated books printing quality is very poor, decorated in this full of classical architecture's long Street, is only the name of Sai such a romantic city will match the picture.

Shopping while the girl's best friend, but when passing the blocks of ice cream shop in a family, we immediately on the table on the various color ice cream to surrender.

Hand glance at the menu, but I have long preferred others were having enjoyed by ice-cream in coconut, 31000 shield. First drinking ice water, the whole only coconut shell filled with ice cream and fruit pitaya, etc, are all nuts and coconut milk, eat the cleaners in one breath, even the coconut shell on white coconut is also linked to a clean. Imagine to inadvertently actually found LP recommended ice cream shop Kem Bach Dang, compared to always read the hard edge of the map for directions, this did not work for all. Had melted in the womb of ice cream, after long sweet aftertaste also echoed in the mouth, is a section of Sai sweet memories.

Walk past many junctions, after how many shop, eyes and mouth are full enjoyment, really to Ben Thanh Market but there is only disappointment.

Or complicated a big market, national costumes, puppets, what foods are sold, there was a side as a rather large snack square. Here clothes shoes irrespective of whether work is rough texture is not pleasing, and the same man and murals, prices are more expensive than outside, here it is civilian environment. But here's porcelain, types and colors are many, many of which I am in China and Japan are not seen by design, very much like a: Middle painted various patterns of dishes, cane into perimeter, put into the holes on the edge of the plate. ForKung hawker's indifference, we have been getting used to, you can here opened the sticker shock after actually bother to listen to your counter-offer, an expressionless face, let us full of chill, boring and leave.

Back to old street near Pham, belong to our relatively cheap shops, make the final against.

Hear a shop proprietress, tosleep with fluent in French, to pay when the front appealed to admire her genius of language ability. She actually used Cantonese declared that she would understand Chinese, as we preach Shanghai dialect is the leading Chinese dialect to cover up their own language of poor, she is also a disdain that how Chinese people do not speak Chinese. Out of the shop, also mad cleaning included.

Fifie of Viet Nam Cheong is also ready, blue with light and shade in the pan with the flow of gold, exciting and fascinating charm.

Replaced by new, outside of the photo of the Sun, the soft silk will be how to care for the skin, so beautiful clothes returned to Shanghai a year on several occasions such as today, in the Sun to shine. Willow is the original that tassels for bow, low-brow vertical mesh Utah reported is unequivocal, and Chinese traditional way of water sleeves are the most class with long sleeves. Viet Nam's qipao, how to use the material, always with some not as resistant to some vibrant wild. Pipe is dust in the third quarter of the autumn leaves lonely figure under the stands, or the heaven and Earth in green boundless Prairie wind flowing skirt instead of holding her cloak, so is there any time left over from the trace, or a face youth pushes me smile, a projected to Viet Nam's gorgeous natural white, in and of itself is the most interesting landscape. So the camera she shy smile, in Viet Nam Women's costumes, tightly wrapped or native Chinese woman.

Also be found on the same plane of Shanghai comrades, but also in the quality of coffee, or shopping, you do not want to leave any regrets here.

Sit into roadside Café 333, and is home to the cafe on the LP, long glass filled with white coffee and fine crushing of ice (7000 rupiah).

Always want to sit on the street, she had many aromatic coffee, at the moment busy rushing for pedestrians. In Shanghai, you will be in a hurry need of scenery to across the glass, drink coffee or you want to journal or with fanben people talk, and even the coffee have brought some utilitarian. Always thought like that dream for the implementation in Europe, is just a Cup at the moment mixing may contaminate some France atmosphere of coffee, enjoying the tourists go by blond, vibes and no more. Full of petty bourgeoisie style Kung, has let dreams unlimited spending power is limited by the person been completely met.

The path in front, back and forth at a different time has go I do not know how many times, now familiar enough to draw a detailed map of shops are arranged.

Eyes skimmed over the figure, perhaps already in staggered Paradies and farewell, countless after might just scratch the moment.

Time can this solidified residence here, not drank, the rich aroma of coffee, ripples unlimited nostalgia; afraid of white space, the bottoms are afraid will recall the journey that was lost at the end.

In the last drop of coffee do not, then take a look at my favorite Sai Kung, spent in the city of happy time as coffee groundnuts, linger in the mind, the aftertaste.

Go to a hotel with good luggage, booked car 6 dollars to the airport.

Examined by the customs officials suspected for a long time to come to passport photos are extremely loyal to the prototype, is this a few days tanned with some suspicion of refugees? was charged $ 12 airport departure tax, used for some of us also jijiao to bargain, it suddenly feels out such a large amount of money and heartache.

And together with the rest of the collection in the waiting Hall, mutual xianbao, displaying procurement.

To the backpack when you already hold a shopping enthusiasm, the hands are at the moment each carrying a few plastic bags, most of this fresh souvenirs. Once the strangers, the country has made his own people, not like today, when we meet again.

Looking out from the Windows, the night of the Sai still brightly colored, the road became straight band of light, is this magnificent mosaic of boundaries.

Light gradually Dim in the night, hand picked up a journal on my computer, headline publishing a popular winter clothing. Take a look at who is still thin coat, finally understand not its outdated, but they have to be familiar with all forgotten.

23: 30, customs, Shanghai long night is still full of coolness.

Early us a few days back Ray drive to meet us, for a short trip in the middle of the way of fate, to Pudong airport pick-up, the statements in turn friendship could not.

Concluded, the bustling at best, can bring back finally only recollection.

Towing heavy bags, walking in the familiar home road, tired, but my heart still immersed in the excitement of travel, subtly ask yourself: will the next station?

Viet Nam 8 v

Viet Nam, Sai is relatively modern and prosperous city, estimated as Shanghai in China.

The Sai Cathedral on Sunday to 4: 00 pm before the door. Finally when the church door, because many people to the Church is not a tour, so we too had the nerve to beat around the camera, just a few quick photos.

Stroll over the Cathedral, we slowly walked through bin Cheng market, stall, solved the supper.

Returned packed bags and back packs to SHIN CAFE's OFFICE waiting for a bus. Viet Nam's OPEN BUS is a bit like China's coaches, no sleeper, but you can bring back down almost 75 degrees, you can now. Go to sleep. To Viet Nam's day so over.

Transfers from MSN space travels-Viet Nam-2

Viet Nam's first day of the night near sleepless, is due to the softness of Viet Nam and the TONY snoring. Less than 8 points in the morning to go downstairs breakfast, see the other players in Guangzhou team: Yuki, Winnie, Celia, Pricilla and Miguel. They are used to communicate with Cantonese, so most of the time I would like an outsider, plug in the sentence. Viet Nam the first step is to go to a ticket agency to buy tickets to Hoi an. The hotel is not far from the little girl said road, we decided to walk past the collective, can be considered a preliminary visit Sai. We live in a pan with the old street is the famous fit ghettos, hotel prices are cheap, along the street there are many shops, bars as well as travel agents. The street is my midnight when the hilarious, Viet Nam's transport motorcycle flotilla, are not to be missed are its streets. But go to relatively spacious trunk, motorcycles of density increases, crossing the Green release, shackled with horses. Then the tour provides the transport data, more than 300 million motor vehicles, and vehicle only 6 000 vehicles. Hotel little means of road seems not quite right, along the way we ask no fewer than 10 individuals, and pulls out of the map itself, almost spent a morning, to find the legendary Agency. Train time is 1 pm, then quickly found a solution to lunch at the hotel. To Viet Nam on the Internet before the local rice flour depicts how delicious, which material point of rice flour no soup without water, the component also rarely, I often in Beijing supermarket-bought bags of facts sour and hot powder. The only comfort is also drink coconut water, which is when I was in Cambodia daily drink. Stop letting go to the station was an accident. First stopped rental, due to the careless parked the car in the hotel diagonally opposite the police station of the door. May be encroaching on the carriageway, just have a Viet Nam police presence, the driver called get dressed up and went straight into the police station and went inside. Forced to find another car, ride a human third man doing sign urged us to get out, Hey, this is the first kind of Viet Nam man. Viet Nam train status let TONY recalls, laments as if returned to China in the 1980s. I smiled and told him, in fact, last year when traveling to the mountains in Shaanxi also travelling in the same train. In fact, just like ordinary trains almost in China, but also in the car layout on the TV. Chairs have a certain slant, feel more than comfortable domestic back benches. 6 p.m. also sent a box lunch. Viet Nam passengers used to be afraid to flattered, often in front of the foot to the Chair, or near the location of the lateral arm, you can clear smell the stink of a unit. If you travel by train from Saigon to Hanoi, takes 36 hours, like such a long journey I now have basic reluctance. Open to Hoi an is 7 hours, I sat with Celia, chat to the weary but unable to sleep, suddenly awakened by 5 cigarettes in the backpack. Two carriages are smoking, and domestic. But many came out a small chair, I began to realize the humanization of Viet Nam. Two sitting in the vicinity of Viet Nam have all the children in the car and laugh, I smoke they just ran to the side. I joke like delivering a give one, but he was sucking up. Later they also went to buy a pack of cigarettes, polite to give me one, I refused. Can't remember some of the evening, day some black. This Harbour City gives people the feeling of comfort, spacious, clean, roads on both sides of the housing (mostly hotels) than we in the residence to be beautiful. But we finally selected Inn is first through a dark alley; as usual is a TONY and me.

(2010-02-11 20: 18: 34) 2, January 30, Hanoi

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.

Have said: "Viet Nam is a paradise for travel, security, low prices yearend, the family hotel thoughtful kindness, travel agency numerous and benefits, along with many other passengers from countries help themselves.

Recommended Sink Cafe, Kim Café http://sinhcafevn.com

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

Viet Nam national North-South span up to more than 2000

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.

Impressions of Viet Nam Street

Feeling old street

Zhaoxue MUI

Old street is Viet Nam in Democratic Republic of the important cities of border trade, and China's Yunnan province estuary County according to the water.

My understanding of the street, it should be said that as early as in the 38 years ago.

At that time, I ordered the troops to the Viet Nam war to implementation of the combat mission.

June 3, 1968, I even from Viet Nam in the North West Province laizhou, no. 12, highway to the East, Liangshan province { B } Highway, passing through the old streets of the city.

Then old completely shrouded in shadow of war. The fleet arrived at about 4 pm, force here in the old streets. Imagine in the urban area, there should be a Warren of bustling streets and a vast swathe of the complex. Unfortunately, to see only the sand road and roadside dilute, soothing and dozens of sparse in the streets, as well as the neighboring markets of cottages. Street not far from the crater and tell the people here have been bombing enemy planes. For air defense, the inhabitants were evacuated to the area. Basic House is empty, has the House doors and Windows to bomb collapse, a piece of stave ruins. Didn't see shops, hotels, restaurants, businesses. General Government bodies and commercial shops all over the road side. Passerby rarely, occasionally see one or two carrying guns, barefoot and bare his people, is also the danger that they face. The surrounding high ground also scattered fabric with our army of artillery. Although no war, but there is an atmosphere of war.

After dinner, I went with several fellow in transboundary river in big iron bridge, bridge awe-inspiring stood two last frontier fighters.

The bridge is not a soul. Standing at the bridgehead of the two upper floors, the rooms available at a glance across the great mountains of the motherland, as if the children saw a long lost mother happy. Children playing in the water in the River, the women were all in the shore laundry, House blowing smoke from chimneys. Are only separated by a river, but showing a peaceful scene.

Last year, I was alone to tour the old streets.

Estuary, cross a lot of people. People are mobile, shoulder carrying large packages, luggage, small package, and some also in handling package. It is said that all merchants in the estuary into Viet Nam's goods, to the street to sell. Walking on the wide friendship bridge, collision, and hurried to crowded. I tried to search for a head of big iron bridge. Tour guide told me that the old bridge from new bridge about 500 meters, only as the testimony of the history of friendship, very few people.

Impression of the old city.

Old mud road into asphalt pavement, around the cottages have long gone, open fields, put up many new buildings, fashionable Billboard can be seen from a distance. Early Street has before replacing the old. Development of new urban areas show in people's eyes, refreshing. Have a sense of a commercial Street, next to a door are written in Vietnamese text signs are designed to write Chinese characters, not note Vietnamese. Most shops in China manufacturing of household appliances, light textile, household and other commodities. Internet cafes, bars, dance halls, video Hall, Sarah, foot bath, shampoo city streets full of modern entertainment services. The new business city with a thousand square meters booth. The assortment of goods placed in the aisle, pedestrians can only slow adoption, and domestic trade market commodity favourably. In a business Viet Nam woodcarving and handicrafts shops, ask about prices, master in fluent Chinese and I talk to. I asked: are you Chinese? Quang Binh province, Viet Nam, he replied. I am surprised Viet Nam businessmen would say Chinese Mandarin linguistic communication is very convenient. More interestingly, a group of Chinese guests are around a pasta shop, see Master do the Lanzhou ramen performances, the skilled movements and hand-pulled noodles skills you don't believe him to be a Viet Nam. The flower market here is also very popular. One attraction of Viet Nam, bought a bunch of red roses, he is shy to tell you that this is for her. Obviously Western romantic wind is blowing through the Lonely Mountain.

Argyle Street, nor did 40 years ago that poverty, trade and economic development, promote the two sides of prosperity for all.

More accurate to say that Viet Nam's old street is the commodity retail market, China's mouth is commodity wholesale market. We are in Viet Nam's old streets, but no body in alien feel.

War is a disaster for the people, peace and prosperity to the mankind.

Hanoi: the first close approach

Walk in love — — a row of six in Southeast Asia

Hanoi: the first close approach

I live in Prince57, 6 dollar fan room, Rm302.

The front desk of Viet Nam kid said, the $ 2 full beds long-term, Always Full. He reiterated that the cracked lips, laughing.

Hanoi.

The capital city. I only stay in the city for two days. Alice doesn't like Hanoi, said it is too messy, too complex, not aesthetic. First sight of Hanoi, I was a little scared to: motorized force really tough, Kiem really is full of top legislator highlights IPR protection of Sinh Cafe, dollar exchange rate is really bad. Fortunately, I have been on the road, on the road, anything can be ignored.

Idly stroll.

Map nearby thang long water puppet shows, wound to is not found. For directions, Viet Nam was enthusiastic. I'm not sure she really understood, probably, even the destination are not clear. But she calls to a group of people, with round, unified views, then a direction. Several times, are no exception. Fortunately, the left think wrong, how can it be farther? Prince57 of Viet Nam kid said just a few steps road.

Then ask for directions.

A settlement of the daughter of Hanoi, "going wrong, exactly the opposite. You go back, play fine road Tsai is next to the monument. "In multicultural heard Cantonese, suddenly felt very cordial. Introspection: striving to secretly first day out on the committed homesick? quickly suffice. For tourists who first arrived in Hanoi, thang long water puppet shows home theater has almost become a ritual. The prices rose, the price has doubled. At five o'clock in the evening, bought the first ticket is 8 pm the, seat, 40,000 shield.

Where to go next? "is not a destination, I'm just 36 rows of narrow alley wander back and forth.

Evening markets, is bound by the crab no day of their dwelling, cooked food so placed, fruit vegetables are all day long, so faint light, a breath of town life.

I didn't expect to see in the supermarket outlet Huy Hung Gallary.

Impression in this Studio, the and the supermarket isolation far. The Studio master, is a young woman, I lift the camera to the eyes. She only smiled, nodded, "Help Yourself." I didn't set up earlier, just sit and watch. Studio, two young men, not only in the creation, in the copy. Thick subtle paint, painter's hand, deeply shallow lingers, fresh into the dust in the third quarter in a fiery red maple leaf. These pictures, I'm from North to South, read all the way, never gone. Or big love those wearing a cloak of ao dai women, and those with orange monks, and red orange blue green purple house complete with narrow. In the blue sky and white clouds of complements, what do you think are worth.

The city has its own personality, Hanoi at least inclusive.

Maybe here, so-called Jacob and vulgar, inseparable in itself. Later, in the depths of the lane, see many such copying Studio. It is part of the city.

Night water puppet shows, no big surprise.

It is only the water puppet version of Viet Nam. Cowboy cattle in playing on the water, farmers planting, children playing in the water and the fish, the celebration for the Crown, or even ancestral Festival of Dragon and lion ... Of these, all roads lead to Rome, the Pearl River Delta, Viet Nam, and not too much different. However, performers half dipped in water, dancing puppets, such dedication definitely worth applause.

11 p.m., Kiem encounter short outage.

Prince57 point candle. I look at the ground floor, with Viet Nam kid learn Vietnamese. Hanoi, Hanoi. He has been trying to correct my pronunciation. Your pronunciation is not like Viet Nam people, not Local. He said, his face on prosper's smile. This lovely boy, every time I saw I would use only the Chinese say, "Hello, I love you. "I smile, he explained that the three words mean, he just smiled, laughed more happy," It's OK. I love you. ”

Perhaps, it is we want too much.

The three words that could be simpler.

(Huyhunggallary: intermediate that is the shopkeeper mm, I loved this little)

(Orange red monks: I like this kind of elegant gesture, as in ordinary reality walk)

(Prince57 not distant lights mist pub: hover into vague red, are all foreign)

Date: 2009.09.11

Weather: sunny, rain in the afternoon, go

Stroke: Kiem area-Temple-Viet Nam Art Museum-booth area

Seven hours of crazy bike?

A storm of motorcycle array?

I and the car in the roadside shelter from the rain.

Rain of Hanoi, motorcycle array so shocking. This has nearly 20 years of age are No.1 cycling masters, crawl in the rain. I can't read Viet Nam bus license plate, and love stops, so choose a bike around the city. Kiem streets in the vicinity of alleys make, feel free to go, no need to consider the direction. If really lost, tricycles and backpackers can go out.

Cycling.

Passing through 36 rows. Are narrow streets, bustling, past, row only sell a range of items. Now, of course, is a hodge-podge. Kiem, was, Orange, yellow, European House, occasionally in the depths of the lane will be chic cafes, inside and out, Viet Nam, aliens, sat in on a Pouffe cups of drip coffee, mixing a leisurely day in the afternoon. Holiday travel, what what? you can in this way.

Hang Be road all the way to the West, high height dwarf House, new, old, repairs, and discarded.

Everyone said that Viet Nam was the dividend, every family has very good House. Our read travel cinema come out of thinking has been fixed-lens-Tran Anh Hung's films is of Viet Nam Viet Nam, Viet Nam du Barry is in Viet Nam, beautiful European-style house in ChamThe blue sea of Viet Nam is Viet Nam. However, such as chemical most basic element, the mixed CHONP polymorphisms of Viet Nam is Viet Nam.

With the Confucian temple, the world out.

Called for all ages of Sage, slightly fatter, seclusion, sight; both houses four disciples, is Mencius, Yan Hui, had a child and think of a child, there is no old people have a preference for child road and ran with it. Booking through the door, the only time I met tours, the group is a group of middle-aged of Taiwan. Every signboard in the gate or stay, they were all before the sentence by sentence reading Chinese-dominated, Viet Nam, as well as the inscription or couplet.

And Korea, Viet Nam has endeavoured to cleaning the trace of the Chinese culture; however, the cultural influences sometimes drill down into a city and a country's blood.

In Viet Nam Museum of art, culture, the statue, calligraphy, ceramics, bronze containers are clearly visible. I love the most is the bus station. This is the most solemn of Hanoi's most political region, Ho Chi Minh trail. Police, Ho Chi Ming, every few steps would have seen. Suddenly frightened, and China were too tired.

I love politics, but was unable to control your life around by politicians.

Only with a smile.

In the evening, from Ho Chi Minh Hang curtain to Be road reentrant.

Get lost, ask for directions, is wrong. The original, not bars Avenue-Hanoi. Rain is too big, I and my car at the grocery store of eaves shelter from the rain. Who did not think morning skies, then rain in the afternoon. Grocery store's uncle, aunt was very busy, from time to time there are riding a motorcycle of mother and daughter, couples who come to buy disposable. I also want to leave, to catch the evening to seven to Hue of Open Bus. However, I can't tell Southeast Northwest, just has been standing on the roadside.

Rain.

Always stop.

Hanoi, I only spent two days in a hurry.

It really is not good enough. However, it is the breath of life, strong. Here, there are many unique buildings and Café; here, there are abrupt and reasonable temples memorial arch; here, everywhere is lingering traces of China. I have always felt that the paper printing history can easily be authorities tampered with. However, the construction does not lie, it is the living witness, even to be covered up or will leave marks. This city, the ubiquitous European House mixed with absolute between Chinese ancestral temple, at first glance is very abrupt, they live in existence.

There is reasonable.

Harmonious, very good.

Next stop, hue.

(Color bright cooking ingredients: lemon, ginger, garlic, etc are sung in wooden nest)

(Viet Nam War Museum: in the rain still fluttering flag.

The same bright red)

2/4 Mekong

Boring Mekong tour

I leave early in the room, the luggage at the front desk.

All the way to go, sinh café still see some pieces back in Angkor were familiar faces, smile nods, if not improbable in another town, a few surface of edge be born out of this kind.

Sinh café entrance, car into a long queue of people waiting for the bus, is crowded streets.

The nearby restaurant to wantonly price increases, bread expensive believable. Fortunately, the time it is still early, never tolerate such devious, walk to the hotel near the bread spread, long staff of bread, can clamp sausage, cheese or fried eggs, price 3000 guilders to 4000 shields. Bought one, a few slices of sausage, and sprinkle the fish sauce with chili sauce tomato, cucumber, a meal to eat vegetables, probably worth the amount of the previous days. Think of yesterday that gnawing a day of dry bread, xinchoujiuhen floodingback, quickly will attest to this and other delicious in-place.

7: 30, the departure time.

At the front of the car and keep left, still haven't seen waving the Mekong tour of font size, ask the person sinh café many times, again, and so on. Also hear someone beside Windows greets from, the original is our day flying Kung elain them, already sat Mae public tour of the car. I was specially, so a group of people, from Phnom Penh a plane went their separate ways, but common today on the Mekong river trip, but from their last night too greedy, arrived at the Mae public sinh café tour of mission already overcrowded, not only with the Mission of TM BROTHERS, otherwise to

You can join on the River.

And so the waiting people walked almost, our car is coming.

In Viet Nam the annual Spring Festival holiday, this city still immersed in an atmosphere of leisure.

Red flag fluttering seen everywhere, but few open shop. Just the street, as always, crowded, blazing fast motor occupy so fierce posture, the cart can only try best to trumpet of ultra high-decibel of spite.

While waiting for the bus when I couldn't wait, this did not sit for half a day really can't.

11: 20 parking, a craft their seat to sit down.

Turbid river water, the shore beside the House, close to the River rhythm rhythm rock boat, with Oriental face simplicity boat child. Sat morning car, and finally, here are some gentle, mouth reservoirs hold smile full of looking forward to the upcoming Mae public-tour.

If the short wait, be regarded as carrying the feelings of the brewing, but dry, and so on more than 20 minutes later, just feel anger was trying to find the tour accounts.

In the café blitzed sinh, this tour and tour of the mission, sharing two cars.

Just now the guide told us on board, with the rest of the body and the return of tourists, leaving behind was «the local youth, not only in a different language, but also an innocent face.

11: 50, do another car came afeng they got into the boat, two ships do full, finally able to start.

Ask the original while their car has always been ahead, but because the driver with one of them causes lost girls chat, full-circle to find quickly. With this old land chat to get lost, the charm of Chinese MM visible, as in Viet Nam.

Waves cut River, Mekong River journey begins in disappointment.

The first station to go to see the process of making rice paper, at first listen to really iffy, but still there are the expensive paper, simply is a calligrapher of the Gospel.

Shore walking into the family of humble shed, a large group of people surrounded-cranes made chicken skin of the old woman, she will be a spoonful of rice paste, and then flipping into pizza lifted air in bamboo baskets, into a translucent round full moon. See here, the same as the Oriental we rely on a solid foundation of life, the guess the clues of the bar, on the Guide still to take the benefit of hindsight, "said: this is a skin, Viet Nam, spring rolls.

Catch a morning after seeing the above situation, don't get busy with inverted, the Guide still warm up anything you like try.

Small vegetable market in Mount spring rolls with leather, the streets of package pancake sell package feet cloth, although commonplace, really disadvantages are exposed, like try really didn't do much like a presentable. Westerners to be reserved to our mentioned fans and drivers of UC 78 MM, and roll up their sleeves, demonstration of traditional virtues of Oriental women. Vaguely also had some pizza, mortgage after the dough. This is a poor surface being soiled old too open for all stages of soy sauce, or no to Hospice. She was not ashamed, laughs later a Taiwan wife, even the dough is made.

Farewell to the home of the spring rolls with leather, the next station, even poetic good name was also declining.

Put rice and heated sand with burst open, plus into liquid of sugar syrup, embossing and cut into pieces. Still eat the stuff in China to more unrefined. A cup of tea, sugar, sat on a popcorn, foreigner pondering over dinner, mood around, watched the time already had 12 points, but can only rely on these free food first cushion pad belly.

If it is not a positive value of the Spring Festival, water market landscape should be very spectacular.

Unfortunately, today, only a few, with a watermelon pumpkin boat, not the original shengshi texture, from mooted, if not a guide to remind, unconsciously they missed most worth looking forward to today.

Day 3-pole, finally ushered is said to be a Viet Nam flavor lunch.

The shore that family, the Windows of the wood carving, eaves of red lanterns, it really was a very Oriental, busy, up on the shore have to take a guided tour, how to have it next to the fork. Along more narrow river, is planted with vegetation of the quiet little restaurant. Gazebo by the purple flower silhouettes, cage bird colorful talks, don't have a turn country flavor, finally didn't let us this group had lost two more convinced that through heart cool.

Table five people sitting, typical Viet Nam restaurant menu as follows: three root and Southeast Asia were generally small spring rolls, a longtime torture water evaporators dry roast pork ribs, some apparently green after war

Losing the yellow upper hand staves, bean, a small pile of soil strong rice, plus a bowl not see content but tasty soup of exception.

To drink yourself to pay, each table a plate of fruit fall is also one of the free content.

At the same table only a foreigner, in stop the knife and fork and rice's difficult struggle, start talking with us.

For today's farmhouse tour, he may not like the US complained, but also gently tell us they yesterday in Hoa sacred and ancient Shiba authentic tour, its taste is only limited to history.

Half day trips for a half-day of the Holy Land visit Hoa, sounds really poor, balancing our discontent.

14: 30, get round to leave the hotel, although not dare butt down journey then reported to expect, at least for curbing hunger, don't expect it to end.

The last station, visit coconut sugar production process.

In humble small workshop in taste the coconut passed sugar, thought of the day is coming to an end, or buy back a souvenir. Side pocket on one side and sighs, hardly doubt yourself is not participated in the Mission of Hainan's shopping. While sad, purse $ 1 coins in the fall, I do not know where, in order to tumble shield a pack of 8000 sugar, lose about 1 800 guilders, on pain of cutting and pain.

Next stop is a visit to the coconut sugar processing, crude bamboo booths but suffuse, makes you have purchased, trance-thought it was participated in Hainan shopping tours.

Pay when you accidentally lost $ 1 coins, a shield with 8000 packets of sugar, usually negligible amounts, suddenly raised to the height of 1800 shield weakened, not then have a counting the solid pain.

Thus, today in the Mekong River, on a journey to an end.

Ship-shore, the Guide let us finally visit the land market. Memory in Shanghai old small farms, but so, brilliant but let people telling you they have to feel a twinge. Say it with nothing, just like today visited all places, perhaps interesting, but not worth spending the whole day.

Leave the car still have some time and sit in the open-air cafés along the River, take out little book or vent.

Lunch of the foreigner is sitting beside me, smiled and asked me to do as just mentioned, to complain to the LP complaints. So I also couldn't help but laugh, angry at Cadence.

He coffee from spilling a drop in the Cup a trickling filter to the glass, gives out simple environment not phase contrast of incense.

When the aroma of coffee began drifting, bring the headphones, mellow voice inside Lovelight gleams low asking: are we really happy in this lonely game we play?

Elections take recordings, this Valentine's theme song, is today's preferred.

You cannot expect today belong in the sunlight, the hem on eyes blue qiaolan Oriental men. Just all the novels and movies, as the legendary River, creating a beautiful but sad atmosphere.

Searching for the answer, we are lost in this field in the masquerade.

How do we hide the Masque, camouflage for too long, I do not know how to do it for.

And all the colors of the imaginary, the Mekong's Masque, is we have to wear it yixiangqingyuan, then refused to drop.

For those moments-sur-happening story, we have no interest, born of woman, ordinary firm depends on without us.

We believe that beauty is a day through the wooden gaps wisps of light, with mature men's polite not age of exotic girl stubborn obsession with eyes, and all with regret the tragic end of love.

Perhaps we are looking for is a mask that followed the story of the ubiquitous, but lost the title of the romantic, poignant and loses for Halo around the container.

Turbid river water on afloat duckweed, bloom purple hyacinth-like flowers.

If you did not expect that the real will of the Mekong River with these small charming details to me moved?

More than 20 years of experience, have not yet novel old Shanghai brilliance of the mystery, the hours of the Mekong River journey, the staggered in time and space in time, how can they reach.

Back to Saigon, hear from the mission that TM Brothers, was the most fun is watching monkeys.

Think of us for dinner and getting off the rest see Python orangutan thrush, don't know, I thought we were going to visit the Zoo.

But then elain they said the tour had a great time though.

Specifically how good although it is not clear, just changed many transport, all kinds of boats are sitting up. And a small village, child turned out that folkway simplicity of a smile, so they moved. But before I heard the famous Vietnamese jungle, but is not satisfactory, see who focus on the lift.

Saigon Nha Trang

19: 10, finally went back to Saigon café, of sinh 20: 00 to Nha car departure before, there are a lot of things waiting to be done.

In the ancient sinh café back Chicago 1-day ticket, although loss of 10%, but was too late.

Today's Mekong tour, the scenery is also not Surrey cave Lake, it is a waste of our positive from reading, listening to music in good mood, has always been Word-good sinh café lost confidence. Midway as the waiting while the delay time, but in places of work in a hurry, time is earlier than the scheduled return, be regarded as a misfortune, to go to the hotel took some luggage, left little time to fill the stomach.

The roadside stalls to eat fried rice noodle of others recommended, 6000 shield, very tasty, and think there really can be regarded as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, so the roadside a casually's little supply of cheap rice still lying in a prawn.

Then back to the gate, sinh café for the NHA's car has filled most.

The overnight train to more expensive than the car during the day 1 $, that is a sleeper, the window at found that everybody was sitting, heart and a cool, this eight-hourDo sit down and really not fun.

Air-conditioning is still very poor, and to depart before the full turbid, air con, increasingly hot.

Put on headphones, his isolation in music. In the car have a free coupon, car window remains busy.

Still do not see a feast for the eyes of Viet Nam beauty, they hide in the riddle face behind a mask.

Still in the arms of the children, with a long yarn hood, since small cages in mystery. Although not seen temples, but modern monk sat on a motorcycle, with wool hat, in Angkor see children with this hat is surprised, want to come but their brains need special protection, most are expensive.

Many of the signs is the sign of urbanization, weird Ruby way, familiar letters out of impermanence.

No Chinese, few understand English, in the city although for two days, to me, is still unknown.

Roadside open-air cafes, even the surrounding trees are hung up in the lights, flashing a vague outline, in the night fade simple coat.

Those light projection of the sky, stars, night, under Hui ying died in early morning light.

Windows Mobile landscape, heavy eyelids, tired beat all uncomfortable seat position, the Chair will still be able to sleep.

Probably all full 8 hour journey is expected, every two hours, will stop and rest.

Only the cars stopped, only a little air conditioning to be rested, sultry always wake up from obscurity.

12 o'clock, second time stops, as usual, down Active breathable.

Fatigue with dry heat of battle, victory or defeat. Drivers into the alongside small hotel, it appears that this break is half of salaries. The hotel has lost no time in the table and put many chaise, sit in comfort, they'll buy the drinks and food also. Many people point out the mountain hot rice noodles, beef, even the night appetite be watching feel satisfied the palate. The fried rice noodles, Sai Kung, said to also support a lot of time watching other people eat sweet, very much like to ask if it is not unlike the domestic parking spot hotel, expensive and hard to swallow?

This night, from hot tempting rice flour on the go open eyes, more attractive, but the sky full of stars.

See constellation of distribution, forget the Moon azimuth, everything is just a star studded with.

No special bright talented, confused and variety, can be seen everywhere, mutual Hui ying, is a bustling reunion. Living in the desert, though you can soar over to this piece, Nebula, nowhere to avoid, in the heart of the first was born out of some inexplicable. Their beauty, belongs only to the sky belongs to the wilderness, the quiet, ignite and fall, and who without stem. Some of the heartache, the sky is expected to reach the night elves, to me staring watching, can disrupt their privacy.

One hour after departure, steal quiet in the night sky of stars, quietly noise in the dark quiet compartments in the eyes, thinking that they were drunk I wake up alone.

Like a coach, feel that the process itself is the fun of travel.

Enjoy your comfortable position, on a window on another yourself with Walkman music on the chat, the scenery along the way, is the busiest time of the decorations, is lonely narration; when is the focus of the eyes to sustenance, is in the mood to relax. Always feel isolated in the Windows world, mobile and wonderful; isolation in music in mind, there are not subject to interruptions.

Always wanted a solitary travel, surrounded by strangers, but with a slight fear and excitement, you can expect some surprises.

However this time travel, there are familiar around total sight and sound, often forgotten in a foreign land. But now, you can still listen to music, listen to the voices of the deepest of my heart.

The "Paris of the East" — Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, France colonial era, the capital of southern Saitama, there was the "Paris of the East".

Ho Chi Minh City French building, hotels, churches, and other French architecture with rich French cultural style and highly ornamental value.

Transfers from MSN space travels-Viet Nam-1

Sai 9.28 is leaving for Viet Nam's largest cities-Saigon. Ascend from the fangzhuang departure airport bus discovered that ignores the issues, which may be a big mistake! Beijing Road starting from one week ago, and the Flash blocking every day driving I even forget about it. The bus driver tells us the previous day he drove to the airport spent 2 and a half hours, you have 6 points, but my flight was 20: 30.

With the machine, there are probably two groups go to Saigon, a group of three women and a man, a group of couples. My seat at the emergency exit aisle side, you can easily stretch the legs. And the Indonesian people sitting next to a few pleasantries, I started looking at newspapers. Air China offers simple dinner was not to my taste, the only advantage is free. Had to sleep not five hours after the aircraft arrived in Saigon. Window floating drizzle, I had just learned without any rain gear-this is not to blame the United States has recently produced what Nice of the Vietnam war. According to the "Viet Nam Vietnam and the United States" on the sat after I on lease to drivers play table, the hotel price was less than his claim, but he still did not change by corruption to the few I probably in excess of RMB. The hotel is located in the pan with the old street, into 10 m saw iron fence telescopic doors. Give me the girl whisper I peer at 401 room waiting for me. Go to the stairs, I found that a white man sitting on sofa, so excuse me her walk, very sorry Ah. Knocking on the door, a 401 with beards buff Guy Standing in front of me.

Pictures: tour of Saigon

«Ò» ¡ ¢ first impressions

Departure from Singapore, our line of 6 people take Singapore flights direct to Viet Nam Sai.

Visit Kung, we can't help with curiosity, even some mysterious mood.

Because, in the junior school, we know there is a South Viet Nam "Sai" city.

At that time, the impression is: the United States soldiers, Gibson girl, noisy bars, glamorous nightlife · · · · · ·.

Now, Sai has been renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

To tell the truth, at the aircraft, the first impression is not very good. First, the opening time is too long to wait for 40 minutes. Secondly, feel too old Kung international airport. Airport entrance Plaza, ruckus, mess, Shanghai railway station square.

Sai a friend to the airport to meet us, sending us to the city centre accommodation.

From the airport to the city centre, the road is narrow crowded. Along the way, mostly short House, but three or four layers. However when close to the city centre, people feel good.
