WE BOMBED A SLEEPER TRAIN UP NORTH TO THE MOUNTAINS. WE REALLY WANTED TO CHECK OUT THE BAC HA MARKETS WHICH ARE ONLY HELDF ONA SUNDAY. AFTER THE TRAIN WE MOBBED A BUS RIDE TO THE SMALL MOUNTAIN VILLAGE WERE THE MARKETS WERE HELD. WE EXTREMELY SURPRISED OF THE LACK OF TOURISTS!
THIS TOWN IS TRULY AMAZING. ALL THE WOMAN STILL WERE THERE TRADITIONAL CLOTHING. THE MEN GETTING SUPER DRUNK ON RICE WINE...AND OFFERING IT OUT LIKE NO TOMORROW, ONE MAN GAVE HAWLEY A SHOT. AND THE GUY WAS HOLDING UP HIS CUP TO DO A CHEERS. HAWLEY ACCIDENTLY KNOCKED IT OUT OF HIS HANDS AND COVERED THE POOR CHAP IN RICE WINE!!! HAHAHA I HAVENT GOT ANY PHOTOS BUT I FILMED IT. SO ILL MAKE A LITTLE VIETNAM CLIP AND PUT IT UP SOMETIME.
WE ALSO WENT TO A HORSE/WATER BUFFALO MARKET WHCIH WAS WELL COOL. IT WAS ON TOP OF A HILL AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTRY SIDE WAS AMAZING!!! IF U GO TO VIETNAM, DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET TO THESE MARKETS! U WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

HANOI. VIETNAM
SO MY CHINA LEG OF THE TRIP WAS OVER. AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK PATRIK AND ALL THE GUYS FOR LETTING ME JUMP IN ON THERE TRIP! I HAD A RAD TIME. WISH U GUYS ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE AND IM SHORE WE WILL RUN INTO EACH OTHER AGAIN SOMETIME! SO NOW I WAS OFF TO HANOPI, VIETNAM AND MEETING UP WITH JAMIE HAWLEY MY LONG TIME BEST BUD FRPOM AUSTRALIA.
TO GET TO HANOI I CAUGHT 3 BUSES. TAKING ALL UP 28 HOURS. FIRST BUS WAS A SLEEPER BUS. LITTLE BUNK BEDS THROUGH-OUT. BUT THEY WERE RATHER SHORT AS THEY WERNT MADE FOR 6 FEET TALL WESTERNERS. IT WAS FUNNY TO SEE YOUR BUS DRIVER CASUALLY LUNGING DOWN A BONG LOAD SITTING ON A CRATE NEXT TO THE DOOR FOR THE BUS, WAVING YOU TO HURRY UP AND GET ON. HAHAHA.
HANOI IS VERY OVERWHELMING AFTER A 28 HOURS WORTH OF BUS RIDING! INTENSE AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC. MAINLY MOTOR BIKES WHIZZING, BEEPING AND CRASHING. TAXI AND MOTOR BIKE TAXIS TRYING TO DRAG YOU ONTO THERE BIKE/CAR. A STRONG SPICEY SMELL FROM STREET FOOD STALLS. PEOPLE WANTING TO SELL; YOU THIS THAT AND EVEN THE SHIRT ON THERE OWN BACK. THE INTENSE HUMIDITY. THE SMELL. MONEY BURNING. HANOI IS LIKE HEAVEN!
