As I write, I sit in an internet cafe in Hoi An, Vietnam. This city is incredibly beautiful. You can feel the history, the love and the pain that was once here and still remains.
The city before this was Hanoi, the intoxicating capital of Vietnam, If I had to describe it in few words, I would say: fast, hot, sticky, drunken and full of life. When we arrived, it was late and we were tired... We had just met up with Noelle(finally!) and now we just wanted to find a place to shower, to eat and to chill. We found the Backpackers Hostel and it was full of foreigners... everyone was from all over the world except for some of the workers who were actually vietnamese. We checked in, thinking that this was the most touristy place we could ever stay, but thankful that we could just breathe for one second... because the plane ride from Vientiene to Hanoi had me praying to GOD, the entire time!!
Hanoi was crazy, crazy, crazy! I had a love/hate relationship with it. We had our first meal at some random restaurant, and had some pho. It was good. but I'm thinking the chicken could have been cardboard... it just didn't taste right!! LOL
We set out for our first day and it was tiresome... those stories are to come!
