Hello Vietnam (Day 7-8: Hanoi)

Well, if it was chaos we were loking for, we got plenty of it as soon as we arrived in Hanoi. The taxi ride into the city was full of honking and passing, and the streets of the city were filled with cars, motorbikes, bicycles, cyclos, pedestrians, and general mayhem that after Bali seemed greatly magnified. The streets are filled with commerce from stores and street vendors, often spilling onto the sidewalks and even the streets. It took us a day or so to get used to it, but we've grown quite fond of the lively cities during our time in Vietnam.
