Good Evening Viet Nam
Hi Everyone,
I have arrived safely in Viet Nam. The city of Ha Noi is a gritty jewel. It is a city of beautiful lakes, graceful women in ao dai, but also congestion, pollution and poverty. My hosts have been very kind in getting me settled. Mr. Phuong and Ms. Duyen escorted me to the guest house, right next to a beautiful lake in downtown Ha Noi. Mr. Hung is the manager and showed me around. Now comes the tough part, getting used to the heat and starting to grapple with the language and customs of this special place.
