It took around 30 hours of booooring travelling, and arriving in Hanoi I was trying my best to brace myself. The sharks threw themselves at me like dead fish but I politely and confidently said no, booked a hostel over phone and found my way to the minibus service I had read was scam-free. Such was not the case, and long story short, blonde girl crying in front of 10 screaming taxi drivers makes them extremely uncomfortable. So a few tears later, safely arrived at the hostel, I am now taking a little breather to further tackle, (and hopefully change my first impression), Vietnam. A few days in Hanoi, then up to Sapa in the mountains, and then follow the stream to Halong Bay.
Wish me luck! (And I'll try to keep the crocodile-tears and quiver-lip under control)
Hah! For en trafikk! Syyyykt!
SvarSlettBra å grine litt! Tror ikke det hadde hatt samme effekt om det var jeg som stod der å gren :I
Tørk tårene,snuppa! Man kommer langt med et smil, også=) Blir spennende å høre mer om dine opplevelser i Vietnam. Begynner å glede meg til du kommer hjem!!!!
SvarSlettHuff, Hanoi endte ikke på min "topp 10" liste over festlige reisemål heller. Utelivet var avviklet pga. kulde og kriminalitet..hehe. MEN, Halong Bay er fantastisk! Pass på tingene dine, ikke la deg lure, så får du det sikkert veldig fint :-) God tur videre!!
