Hanoi

Hanoi is really hectic town with 3.5 million people in it. Over half of the locals use scooters to get around and the traffic is really something. Not as bad as Cairo, but for example the street lights are there just for a show. Customer service reminds me of Finland, only it's a tad worse.
City itself is really colourfull and lively, the best here is just to sit in a cafe and watch people ging by. There are tourist sights, like the War Mausoleum, but I didn't go to any. To go to the mausoleum, the guests have to wear proper clothes (aka cover shoulders) and I was wearing too little clothing. It reminded me nicely of Penang. Anyways.

I am leaving Hanoi in 2 hours by the train. This means that I am going to sit on my ass for 40 hours. I was really excited until the second I bought the ticket. What the hell was I thinking!? This train trip better be worth all the hype in ze Internetz. There was no beds vacant so I got a seater with aircon. Total price was 650 000 dong and my nerves. Ok I'm just winding myself up again. If nothing else, at least it is going to be an experience . Good practice for the Siperia train trip. God.

Still homesick. I'm just calculating the time till I get back home. It's really annoying. Takes away all my enthusiasm.
