I enjoy writing. It relaxes me.
The truth is usually easier to live with than getting caught in a lie.
Early this year, I wrote I Have Become A Millionaire when I travelled to Batam, Indonesia. The Indonesian Rupiah goes by millions. Here again, after the exchange rate from Singapore Dollars to Vietnam Dong, I become an instant millionaire once more. Awww, how sweet life is!
Good Morning, Vietnam!
(Part One)
And so I say, visiting Hanoi (Vietnam) is not for the faint-hearted. Though the spring weather in March (during my visit) is at its best, walking around the busy city is another thing. It is a challenge especially when one is crossing the roads. There are just too many motorbikes and cars, and not forgetting big passenger vans, fighting for the rights of ways. Personally, I feel there is just no proper traffic system. Even if there are traffic lights and zebra crossings, motorists often ignore them leaving pedestrians to have gung-ho determination to cross over to the other side of the road.
Interestingly, roads in Hanoi - especially at the Old Quarter, are sounded with lots of honks. There are honks every where. The horns of the motorbikes, cars and vans are legitimate business. Ironically, they keep the roads in order and safe. The sounds are every where at every minute even in small lanes and worse, these noises can be a nuisance should your hotel is just along the busy duong (roads). My taxi driver who drove me back to Noi Bai International Airport had his hands on his honk practically all through the 45 kilometres drive from city's downtown to the airport, even along the highway.
