Woa! Part II
As I said in an earlier post, the best way to see Ha Noi is via motorbike. They have all kinds of hired motorbikes here, called Xe Om. I was a little afraid to take these, that I might get lost, but Chantelle and Chris from the hostel encouraged me. Pretty soon we were zooming across Ha Noi, seeing a lot of beautfiul monuments, fountains, and the vibrant nightlife. We went to a restaurant and Chantelle, who is part Italian, ended up ordering a Sicilian pizza. The pizza came topped with hard boiled eggs! It was a little too weird for her!
When we returned to the hostel, Chantelle and I rode together on a Xe Om. 3 people on a motorbike, I was in the caboose, zooming along, half frightened, half exhilirated. My shoe was falling off so part of me was curling my foot up, half taking in the city! When I finished I didn't know how to feel! Lucky to be alive? Adventurous? Foolish? Unique!!!!
