2 overtaking Viet Nam Vietnam border road

The hotel is on the national road, the East-West trunk of Nanning scoundrel, are we going in the long distance bus station-bus station to the East. Just boarded a bus terminal for to East 6 bus, to the East. National road is wide skyscrapers, on both sides of the road is very prosperous.

To East bus station in the city's edge, from the city centre to the to the East there are about ten to Station Road, where you can directly buy Nanning – Viet Nam Hanoi tickets, tickets and not very tense, conductor told me 8: 40 and 9: 00, asked me to which class, my natural selection earlier that a ban, price 150 yuan/person.

Breakfast at the restaurant next to the station address, here's a little thin egg congee with lean, tastes like egg lean porridge, not excessive is full, full of a big bowl, ate very satisfied.

8: 50, Guangxi Deyun company bus full of people heading to East bus station, didn't expect long distance buses are also equipped with the Guide, said she is guided tours may not be very accurate, because she does not introduce tourist attractions, and is only responsible for introducing bus itinerary, and for each passenger releases free mineral water, in addition to this, the number of half-way to rest after the inventory is her job responsibilities.

The bus quickly entering the motorway, from Nanning to border Pingxiang full speed, driving fast, 11: 20 to reach the end of the high speed, high speed Pingxiang export areas through a checkpoint, a green uniforms of the soldiers boarding check documents individually, I realized that the border is coming. Car soon opened a restaurant in the former, is actually a small dining room, the Guide let everyone get lunch, original ticket price includes lunch, car several foreigners are just beginning to see the situation get off not dragging, the driver guide repeatedly explained and it is free after getting off to dinner. Many hands holding a dozen Viet Nam shield and calling card already in front of each of the next person will ask you not to change money, don't buy a phone card. I hesitated, decided to eat what to do. Although this is only a simple two vegetable soup, plus an Apple, tableware, table and Chair are very clean, very satisfied. I know that in general the border area to change money is preferable, though do not know how the market houyiguan, but look here cattle so much, I should compare the fierce competition, nor losses where to go, so the decision is here for, exchange rate: RMB1, later VND2750 = proved to be the exchange rate is good, there is also only houyiguan two cattle in money, far more than here. Haha, for money I would become the "millionaires", but is Viet Nam millionaires, Oh. In fact, the highest of Viet Nam shield currency banknotes of 50 000, so don't think millions of rupiah will turn into a sack back is back fixed, some 50 million guilders denomination notes. Later discovered that Viet Nam shield behind three zero needn't look, get rid of this three-zero, the number would be great to read much, but a lot of people in Viet Nam that Viet Nam Shield will also be the last of these three zeros omitted, only the previous number. I think for Viet Nam shield, to change the Chinese people accustomed to million (4%), and readings into English to be accustomed to Chin (3%) of reading, this understanding of the actual price and the conversion is very good, after all to Viet Nam shields, as k, converted into RMB so long as divided by 2.75. 12: 00, arrive at the Terminal and get off at houyiguan, when the tour guide was issued to each one, let us hanging in front of him and informed after clearance may, under the brand by Viet Nam in bus to Hanoi.

Back pack, the official start of transit journey.

First of all for China's departure clearance, delivering on the passport, the border edge to look up the side of the question, "first went to Viet Nam?", "Yes", "push the cards show me", although I feel a little border seems superfluous, Passport no is my documents, but still delivering on ID cards. Exit-splat splat qiaolejixia keyboard, looked up and said, "you first in the next moment. "Then, accosting next. I stood to the side, I don't know why, very confused, and subsequent queued a person see I was stopped by customs, straight towards me, though the face remains lighthearted look at, really a bit nervous.

I stand on the sidelines, watching the frontier inspection of documents, dd dd is obviously very smooth, it passed the border.

Frontier inspection turned to me and said, "you to the VIP room of rest. "Oh, I was the first time in the departure time is invited into the VIP room, the VIP room has 10 to a sofa, sizes, from the armchair to the sofa, sitting on the sofa and quite comfortable, it is a VIP room empty, a person besides me, just started quite curious to go up and down at the VIP room, too soon pants, straight to the outside border control staff there, don't know when to be good. Lenovo to exit from the airport, you will be asked to wait, this time, should belong to a routine check! good in 5, 6 minutes after the alarm was sounded, I was finally able to exit.

With Deyun company listing free sitting car battery to Vietnam Immigration Department, nor how far a walk or go to the trip will pass the last side of the checkpoint, but do not need to get off, as long as your Passport, in the hands of Akira Akira.

Relative to the Chinese border in an orderly, serious, Vietnam border becomes disordered and noisy, immigration is not guard the major traffic arteries, one by one, but rather on the side and let the people make the passport initiative. Walk into the Immigration Department, next to a window, followed by "pass inspection" and "passport check", "quarantine" and "customs", said he set unreasonable, it is in the affirmative, because a passport check, fill in the entry card, entry cards are blank in the "customs" this window; that is, all foreigners must first walk through the first three Windows, the fourth window to get the entry table, fill in and then go back to the first or second window. Check the "Passport" window before it was full of people, the thought that they are queued for a passport check one by one, in fact, this is not the case, they have already paid a passport that is there waiting for a passport, passport as long as direct into instead of Queuing. Every otherPeriod of time, there will be a Viet Nam staff took a dozen Passport outside to call names passport, wait for the passport of the person, and so a batch after batch, and finally get back to the chapter with the immigration and immigration card passport.

In the first homework, "quarantine" that closed the Viet Nam staff often have a charge of suspicion, paying rates also vary from person to person, $ 10, $ 5, $ 2, $ 1, there is no intersection, are waiting to receive the Passport clearance I also observed the land there, almost all leading through passport and immigration card and take in your hands through the "quarantine" window will be stopped for inspection, then some will charge, while others like without paying, not knowing what their standards and many are required to pay dues are paid $ 10.

After much deliberation, we would like to see, since when does not have any on sanitary and phytosanitary requirements, so I understand the "quarantine" nature, should belong to the sampling to smoke, not to get into it too, so we decided to get a passport and immigration table immediately put them in the bag, and then proudly walk behind the window, it will not be "pick" save more breath, then exit when they did not encounter any trouble.

The more parties again took the car battery, this time through checkpoints more seriously, all must get off one by one to check the documents, the soldiers took the dd's passport, see passport photos, see dd, played with dd, dd was used, and finger pointing photos, a face, the meaning of doubts, do not like them, dd-he nodded, meaning "like, who do not like" soldiers also nodding, as if to say, "well, you said like like.

Get off at the point of "car battery is to Hanoi Deyun bus bays, convergence is very good. The car is not filled were opened, but now is 13: 20 (Viet Nam 12: 20).

Officially entered the Viet Nam, and looked out the window, whether the distant mountains or near field, rendering the duplicating, pleasant, and the Sun also gave a brilliant smile, although the lack of sleep people feel tired, but the feeling is very good, I kept looking out the window to take pictures of scenery, not concealing all started in Viet Nam's freshness.

Viet Nam paragraph 4 hours soon began to appear on the side of the past, a number of well-known companies of the plant, Canon, Yamaha, Panasonic, here is the industrial park on the outskirts of Hanoi.

Cross a long bridge, the Poles have been hung up on both sides of the city of publicity ads, "Ha Noi – The Cify for Peace", bus, traffic lights have appeared, automobile, motorcycle, pedestrian or more, we finally got into Hanoi City, Vietnam close to urban areas, the busy traffic of the more obvious. Soon the bus off heads, turned into a lane. Parking place is a travel agency, haven't got out of the taxi drivers were already surrounding. I put on a piece of mind, on the taxi driver will be ignored, in fact, the heart has a hazy, because there do not know the location where to see the road, on the map, or what to do. No choice but to fight car, just another driver came together, I took out the map, just means a departure Kiem is very near the old district of a path to the drivers, the drivers want to Be the "Oh, Hang, 150k. "Drivers offer, fearing that I could not understand, but also the numbers written on paper, so we started a" talking shop "type of bargaining. Just think how much better the also, drivers in the road here from Hang Be very far, efforts are being I 10km calculation assumes that reality he said is if the domestic 10km rental market should much, drivers have taken the initiative to bring prices down to the 100k, I started a counter-offer 50k, he obviously does not consent, I go, he'd never catch up. At another crossroads to find a rental, and finally to 80k deal.

Finally, the cab to take us into the tourists of Argyle Street District, the holiday hotel most have empty room, but the price is not too good.

Accommodation in Hanoi Emerald Hotel, the room is very healthy, fridge, hair dryer, LCD TV, I feel better than our three stars but also better. Proprietress very enthusiastically answered our every problem, but also took out a simple map of your own print, mark we intend to go to the location of Trang, also tell us today and tomorrow is a holiday, Viet Nam and 21: 00 this evening with fireworks show, then know that today is the 35th anniversary of the reunification of North and South Viet Nam.

To lay down their luggage, and can't wait to go out for a walk, the old district of many, we got into a large number of people.

Water puppet theatre (Water Puppet) from the hotel is very near, the walk is about 10 minutes, the theatre of the street is also the sword Lake, First Class fares 60k/person. Buy tickets to see the time you finish it is still early, at a roadside stall eat beef fried, in fact, the boss of a one or a small trolley, inside a variety of raw and spice, sidewalk a dozen small stools have few space; the boss busy moment busy down surprisingly good business, to eat more local, there are still many people do not eat, direct packaging Hall, watching their cooked books that door, is obviously the flyers here. Wait, is sitting next to a family of four people in Viet Nam, two adults with two children, children see we both foreigners, active with their learning of English asked us, "What is your name?", we are pleased to answer him, and asked his name. Kids parents encourage child to communicate with outsiders, and guide the children continue to ask a question in English, "Where are you from?" " Which city in China? "and" How old are you? "and" Do you like Ha Noi? ", the conversation, learn that a child is only 7 years old, now a local Singapore school, so small they dare to communicate in English, it's not!

Water puppet

Sure enough, the stage name is a central pool, puppet performances are carried out on the water, the manipulation of puppets are hidden in the shade, one side of the stage to the idea, and accompaniment, similar to the Opera. Water puppets tell exactly what Kiem legends and ancient people fishing on the Lake work life scenes. According to legend, in the 15th century to fight the Chinese Ming dynasty rule but the victory, King Le too, by boat on a Lake, a golden suddenly from its hand held over that helped him win us, and then disappeared into the Lake, Kiem accordingly. Although the whole play is used in Viet Nam, foreign tourists could not understand, but the puppet animated, image and humorous performance has continued to win their applause. Before you know it, one-hour show will soon in the audience's laughter in the end.

Find a home at the corner of the popular local restaurant very intensely with dinner, shop local inadequate, tables and chairs has been put to the pavement, it is here.

Pass the investiture, shop assistants, our menu to busy he's a good meal, points, call the shop over the menu to show him, results point two only send my share, dd the delay did not come. See other guests than we are late to eat, and shop is still there and walked around busy, I'm sure he'll put another one to forget. Dd: a next door at the dinner table, simply decide to noodle need this, but unfortunately the shop assistant can't understand English, strokes of a half-day managed to understand what we mean. I would like to order a bottle of beer, the clerk said, shop assistants or no action, I worried, directly on the former patted him, then pointed at the table next to a beer bottle, then made a motion that finally pointed us to the table, a "sign language to communicate" when, finally let staff know what I mean. This is the third time to call the shop and had no idea that there is a fourth. Beer is sent to, but not the Cup Ah ... The shop assistant to busy, and we looked at the bottle on the table, only the bitter beer. Just want to say hello shop next to the dining table in Viet Nam, MM long notes we both foreigners in a predicament, critical time to lend a hand, she went over, took directly from inside a glass full of ice cubes, and gave it to us, and to say goodbye to us with a smile. Good at checkout with the proprietress junction, failed to meet any trouble, but also with the shop, I wonder what will happen!

Eaten dinner, has nearly 21: 00, walking in the street and found everyone to one direction, we go with the flow, to close to the Kiem, people more and more, has been difficult to walk or stand or sit everyone seems to be waiting for something.

Suddenly, the sky invites, crowd cheers bursts, the original Hotel boss say fireworks show is here, it is not often reserved to all. Fantastic fireworks are like an umbrella, there's like a meteor, and others such as blooming flowers. Often, after a wonderful audience is with warm applause, a face full of brilliant smile. But on the other side of the stage the actors is to give the audience a big open-air theatrical performances, the theme is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the liberation of Viet Nam, the road became car park, a large number of motorcyclists stopped looking watch, an eye sight head, although some distance away can't be true, but the atmosphere of the stage, but the mood of the audience from time to time, climax, but also for our first day of Viet Nam to scratch out a satisfactory end. Today, it is enriching and rewarding day!
