Vietnam 2008 (Part I) - Hanoi
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008
What a trip! In June 2008 I took two weeks to join a friend (Tom V.) in Vietnam for my limited vacation. He had been traveling for a number of weeks throughout Asia, but we synchronized our schedules, met in Hanoi, and booked flights out of Saigon for two weeks later - the rest was up to us. As expected, it was a great experience and Vietnam is undoubtedly a gem worth visiting (soon!) It may be crowded but it’s never overwhelming, the people are friendly, the land is beautiful, the food is amazing, and it’s cheap. You really can’t go wrong.
