Hanoi

Hanoi 17/11 - 19/11

The 1 thing that stands out in Hanoi (apart from the cheap beer!) is the way their traffic flows. To the untrained eye one would think it was chaos - cars, motorbikes, bikes, trucks, buses and pedestrians all drive around through intersections with apparently no problems in perfect harmony. It is insane!

Our time was spent checking out the city and meeting some cool locals.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK - Sitting in roadside bars with the locals drinking Bia Hoi for 22cents a glass. Travelling at its best!

HIGHLIGHTS -

- Eating and drinking in the streets with the locals who kept giving us free vodka shots.

- Going to a happening nightclub - Funky Monkey 3 - to have rich locals try to give us free drinks whilst trying to pickpocket us. But we felt safe as we were surrounded by 5 guys in military uniforms to protect us.

- Cruising around the streets

- Bat tennis in the room at 2am

TOOL OF THE WEEK - Consecutive tools for Country so far. While eating some hot chilli with his fingers, the boy decides to have a sly little scratch...... 5 minutes later he is running around the street in search of some soothing yoghurt. A quick run home for a cold shower provides some welcome relief to the inflamed area.

Hot nuts anyone????
