Finally here i am sitting in front of the pc thinking hard where to start off. Many complaints received and it somehow told me that i have to start somewhere and make it on the go again… Some eager for the Vietnam trip update, some for the small trips around that had kept me occupied for the last two months and some wants to know what happened to me recently and what caused the MIA.. so where should i start??

Might as well start with something that is still fresh in my memory aka the Hanoi trip beginning of last month. Continuing to the previous post i typed out in Hanoi city itself, i’ll recap a lil of the Vietnam trip and top it up with the photos.

One of the handsome that made our stay so memorable.

One thing i missed the most from Hanoi apart from the two guys and a wife is the FOOD! We ate so much yummy food as we get by day by day. From breakfast till supper. People there eats everything..when i say EVERYTHING i mean EVERYTHING. (sorry minh, but i have to repeat the dog story again) From things as small as the snail to something as big a doggy. maybe there are more, just that we are not aware off.. On the way to Hung’s House on the 3rd day, i actually saw a ‘barbecued’ dog by the road side on a chopping board. Scared the hell out of me but its their culture so have to tolerate. They have this ‘dog meat’ place that we didn’t visit,according to minh they serves all kind of cooking method, be it deep fried, barbequed, in soup..you name it they have it…..K nuff said time for some pictures of yummylicious food.

Deep fried spring rolls in smaller sizes. Whatever size it is..its still yummy and thats the main point!

Navigating the map is not the main prob in Hanoi and better still when you don’t need a map to move around as the local tour guide will bring u to the places u wanna visit. Cool huh??? Thanks to Minh and Nghiep for the hospitality provided. So we went around on the bike which is freaking scary. Imagine the traffic are so complicated that u find motorcycles coming from every freaking directions. Luckily we came home in one piece.

A ride at nite (notice the imbalance of the traffic, so many motorcycles in the on coming direction.)
