Vietnam - Hanoi

So Katie and I have finally arrived here in Vietnam, our hostel is super nice, but this city is crazy! It feels like the city (NYC that is), but without any rules. There are motorbikes everywhere, and I mean everywhere. On the sidewalks, from every direction on the roads, blocking the streets, in houses, it's crazy!
So after getting to the hostel, after a quite terrifying ride, we walked around trying to find an exchange place. It took so long and I got stressed and grumpy because I hadn't eaten since this morning and couldn't buy anything because I hadn't exchanged any moeny, plus I was completely lost in this super super busy city! But alas, eventually found it and we had a lovely dinner by the hostel.
Just cam back from the rooftop bar which was fun. Made friends from Scotland, Norway, and Minnesota (whose on our same train to DaNang). We also decided to extend our tour in Halong Bay to two nights instead of one. It was extra money but apparently the trip is just so much fun and totally worth it. So this is our only night in the hostel! Don't think we'll have internet for a few days since will be in a bay somewhere but will update then! Love to all!
