'Nam here we come...
Well we've just Hit vietnam,the flight was long, squishy and the inflight movies were pretty average.being stuck sittng behind some guy who wanted to put his chair back, and me simply being too tall,we were stuck in a inflight battle of wills.he went back,i knee'd him repeatedly in the back, he went forward, i moved my leg, we went back so on and so forth...
arrived in KL, with a 5 hour stop over, not much open and plenty of time to kill.had a few drinks at a lovely american themed restaurant/ bar "cheers"..., as the authentic drinking hole's were funnily enough not open at 5:30 am.finally got into Hanoi about midday.
Weather wise its like Melbourne,except no heat wave, so basically cloudy and overcast.We caught a psychotic taxi from the airport, and its not really fair to blame everything on the taxi driver, as the whole traffic system is without a doubt the scariest i've ever seen.the lights change, people go, except before they have changed people are still going, 1 way deosn't exist, its all about a man, and how loud his horn is.no traffic rules, if you want to cross the road, you walk slowly,very slowly and try/ pray to any of a number of gods, you don't get hit.so far it hasn't happened, but there have been a million and one close calls.
Nobdy speaks english, its dirty, and as foreigners we are getting screwed in more ways then the Karma Sutra ever detailed, but its fun.
