Hanoi sounds exiticng and intimidating at the same time. 6 million people on 3 million bikes Wow! Can not believe how dangerous the traffic is, but it sounds like you found a system that worked for you. Didn't realize that Ho Chi Minh didn't live in the palace. How cool that it is now a temple devoted to Confucian worship that would have captured my interest. Loved your trip to Hung Gai and visit to Halong Bay sounds absulutely beautiful with its 3000 islands. I hope you are taking it all in and find the trip relaxing before your next big adventure four days from now. And, I hope you've had fun shopping in all the markets. Did you take along a separate bag for all that you bought??? See you soon.Pat
I'm not quite sure how to say this; you made it extemrely easy for me!
A comment to question 11: I
cannot rank services that I
did not use or that were not
on offer, but you don't give
that option. So I gave 1
points to services I didn't
use.

The above choices are not
likely to influence my choice
of hotel. Most important is
pleasant staff and clean rooms.
