Hanoi is Happening!

This is clearly not Hong Kong. Please check out my blog of my terrific trip to Hanoi at:
holidayinhanoi.blogspot.com. I'll be updating it every day to tell the story of my 13 days in Northern Vietnam.

Going off.

Today I'm flying to Bangkok. I'll be taking the summer off from Hong Kong and this blog. These are the shoes I bought for my adventure. Don't they look rugged and able to take on anything?

First I'm flying to Bangkok by myself, then on to Hanoi. I'm treating myself to a trip on my own - an early birthday present for my 40th in August.

Mid-July I'm flying back to Bangkok and meeting the rest of the crew. We're flying to Ho Chi Minh City and Southern Vietnam for a couple of weeks, then back to Bangkok for three weeks lazing on some beach somewhere.I'm back at work on August 18th. I have wandering to do until.
See you then.

Elegance

Note the nose ring. A touch of class on the bus to Stanley

5:45 a.m.

Yesterday was the last morning I have to get up at this ungodly time (this school year), though isn't it beautiful!

Ice cream truck in Mongkok

Get your soft serve here. Yes, Mister Softee plays music. Yes, you can pay with your Octopus card.

Apliu Street Flea Market

The place to buy carabiners, battery operated USB chargers and apparently the place to hang your laundry.
