We stayed in Hanoi old city a few days and really enjoyed it. Your right the shopkeepers do force one into the roads. I noticed though that as opposed to Thailand the cars and m/cycles do in fact give way or adjust their speed and direction for crossing people, locals and foreigners.Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
Every vice you want is offered if you stand still long enough. The m/cycle drivers home in on their targets at a moments notice.
Underwhelmed with Halong bay. Very misty and raining every day. Not that the rain stopped the locals from swimming in the sea. Wrong time of year I presume.
