First glimpse of Hanoi, Vietnam

July 24, 2008 by Yein Jee

My first visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, in July 2008… first impression? Chaotic.

Took a cab from Noi Bai Airport to my hotel in Hoan Kiem District… the traffic was quite disorganised by modern standard; rules were almost non-existent, as if whoever had the loudest horns ruled the streets.

Plenty of cars, plenty of motorbikes and plenty of bicycles… Hanoi was definitely a happening city in traffic sense. A bit too chaotic for me to begin with, but I think I got used to it at the end of the trip.

Sharing a few photos taken during the taxi ride; pictures might speak a thousand words, but these pics couldn’t really reflect the noise and buzz of Hanoi…

Back from Hanoi

July 24, 2008 by Yein Jee

Arrived at Kuala Lumpur at around 2pm on Wednesday (July 23) after a six-day vacation in Vietnam. Took the below picture last Friday, my first day of the trip when the plane was approaching Hanoi…

The cloudy-mountainous view mesmerised me… I think I might have fallen in love with Vietnam before setting foot on the Vietnamese soil. The ‘honeymoon’ didn’t last long though, when serenity turned into chaos as I started exploring the ground.

Plenty of stories and photos to share; check out the summary here.
