NEW YEAR'S IN VIETNAM




One advantage to living in China is its close proximity to other cool places, like Vietnam. Vietnam is a fascinating country with friendly people, chaotic scooter filled streets, and cheap beer. We spent most of our time in Hanoi, but did venture east to Ha Long Bay (shown in the top two photos). There we slept on a big wooden ship called a junk. You definitely feel like you're in another world when you sit on the bow of the junk and are approached by ladies in small canoes that paddle around the bay selling beer and candy for a living. Then you go back to China and reality painfully pulls you back inside.
