Hanoi, Vietnam

February 24-30

We arrive in Hanoi at 

midnight. We see all kinds

of night markets, with 

all sorts of beautiful 

flowers.  

The houses are long and 

skinny and, to me, 

they look spooky and 

haunted.  

One thing that's really 

hard is to cross the street.  

There are some traffic 

lights but the drivers 

don't seem to pay any

 attention. When I wake up, I hear the sound of 

motorcycles and honking!  

The motorcycles park on 

the sidewalk so you have to walk in 

the street, which could be very dangerous with all the cars and 

motorcycles whizzing by. The food is great! They have lots of 

noodle soups and little tables and chairs on the sidewalk to 

eat at. The places on thestreet are very cheap (about $1).  

The egg rolls and spring rolls are one of my favorites.  

I like Hanoi very much, even though it is very different.
