Date: 2009.09.10

Weather: sunny

Stroke: Pingxiang-houyiguan-lang son-Hanoi

Nearly 7 days slowly lit.

Half asleep, air-conditioning or so feet.

Arrival in Pingxiang, this town has not fully awake, the sunlight is very good, very quiet, even on the soliciting of taxi drivers are asleep, the daily chatter.

The bus station, direction unknown, chose the opposite seems to also clean stall, put down your luggage, decided to fill their vital Temple. My worst vices is slightly of obsessive, in order not to go to coach washroom, last night before what not to eat. That year and roommate of East China tour, simply sit for 30 hours didn't move. :P

Pingxiang, one of our nine famous gateway, history since qinshi, and Viet Nam, mountains and is the only South of the Silk Road.

Border town, since you can barter trade, if not to knock its own road to riches. It is here, carpool, I met Shiwan GG, one from Sichuan, work in Foshan Shiwan, travel to Hanoi.

From Pingxiang to houyiguan, allegedly 18KM.

Probably is the refurbishment of the reason that we are all very good asphalted road, Castle Peak green trees alongside highways, seductive. The early morning light, extremely quiet houyiguan legend change money vendors haven't deployed, exit clearance of twos and threes. Shiwan GG is not the first time from this exit, probably worried me a woman traveling alone back pack, he deliberately slowly cooked books with my door.

From simple than imagined: check the passport stamp, waving, even before the security check baggage on release.

Clearance, turtle called mother adults safe, informed I successfully cross the borders. Immigration than imagined simple: turn of the cards. Remove tables, wants to fill out. When is, Shiwan GG Chin reminds million directed me to the $ 5-10 win gold. I doubt it, wanted to ignore, considering that they have no health card yellow books and the like, or clip 1 element in the passport, in return for successfully cross the border.

But however Shiwan GG seat ride for his kind invitation, so this is it, my jiudianduo has arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon, with Hanoi for nearly 8 hours: three hours sat at the grocery store chat his car, one hour in lang son market stroll, one-hour lunch, three hours ahead.

Mo's uncle was my first encounter in Viet Nam.

In the station, in the list of drivers in the sky, only his encirclement is carefully looked at the strategy's address, and then nothing said Pat motorcycle pillion, motioned to me on the bus. I also hesitate to consider will be slaughtered cheated, he then patted back, took out 10,000 shield Viet Nam notes 扬扬, then becassocked on left face, head, micro-crooked photos. Cannot but raise chunjiao arrived in Hanoi, showing the first smile.

Will make this kid's attitude of adults, will have lain on the bus.»

Kind of Mo's uncle, carrying my from dozens of breakthrough in motorcycle.

First sight of Hanoi, and imagination are poor, with the exception of earthworms like can't read text, and a mess of wires, I have no consciousness of being abroad. Ten minutes later, the mo's uncle came to a halt, pointed my finger opposite signs, unidentified Guest House. Habitual smile, say Thank You, and then and my big packages go into Prince57.

Check In later, unconscious looked streets.

Mo's uncle left across the street, has been looking at my side, so far, see expression. I smile back, waved to the finger. After that, he probably knows, nods, before starting the motor. First sight of Hanoi, I do not love; however, due to the friction of the uncle of small concern, suddenly felt the city may not be seeing so bad.

It was really good.
