8 Days in Hanoi - Updated with Summary photos


It's a trip which i have wanted to go..since my early blog entry. Finally got a chance...and enough money to make this trip possible, plus find a travel buddy is hard nowadays...(most of them are either attached or just want to save $$)

So we stay in Hanoi for about 2.5 days, Halong Bay - 2 days, Sapa - 3 days, from 17th till the 24th.

I must say...traveling to Hanoi is like traveling back in time into the 50s where Singapore use to be like.(I think)

Road looking like full of motors..and traffic light does not work here....I meant....the motorist doesn't obey these rules.

Hawkers look like they don have $$ for proper tables and chair....they use stools and low tables and are place near the roads and drain....(u can imagine how dirty it can get)

Cabs look like they are out to get more $$ out of u, by taking u on rides and charging u slight extra which u don even realize it...

People look like they can only understand their local language and asking for directions and food become a challenge...but they are generally friendly people...

The Trip will be best remember for it's scenery @ Halong and Sapa, the winding track of Sapa, the aggressive sapa's tribes ladies for selling souvenir and the motorcycles of Hanoi...

Photos are coming up....in a short while.....I have over a 1000s of them but I need to edit some of them....though....as some of them are framing badly...lol...check out my facebook for more photos...as well
