Another terrible nights sleep and i head to the airport to fly to Vietnam Tiger airways!! MRT (again) to the airport, then a bus to the Budget terminal and i check in. a huge delay caused by a techincal problem with the plane and a few hours later a new plane is ready and i board- attempted to sleep but my seat was not an armchair and it didn't recline- unlike the Airbus :( I'm used to the luxury now!
So arrival into Hanoi, visa granted and i share a car to the Old Town with a lovely German couple. And a welcome to Hanoi... motorcycles galore, constant car horns and beeping as vehicles drive willy nilly- i dont think they have lanes here. So that was a little scary but hay ho!
Arrive into my hostel at about 7ish and the Germans and I head out for food- some sort of street "restaurant" where you sit on the pavement on tiny plastic stools- head level to all the motorbike exhausts. We had a chicken noodle thing which was...interesting- quite nice, but a bit off putting when you have a direct view of the girl making it. Pealing the chicken off the bone with her fingers- one for her one for us, licking her fingers in between, whoops dropped that bit on the floor (she didnt abide to the 3 second rule- maybe more like 20 seconds). Anyway, that aside it was nice. Then we head back to the hostel street have a few beers in a pub (very very cheap beers) and some watermelon flavoured sheesha and an early night!
