Day 2
My first stop in vietnam hanoi
July 2, 2018 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C
Getting here stressed me too no ends. The streets are full of people driving in wherever the feel like. But finally I am in Asia how great is this. Probably going too have a slow night with a shower yeah. My first look at this country from above was simply amazing and all the streets and little lanes are more chaotic than I would have ever thought but I think this is going too be great, I'm just really excited for my time too come.
Update: this money is still confusing people telling you too pay 800.000 is still shookingRead more

Day 3
Hanoi temple of literature
July 3, 2018 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C
I took Hanoi City tour today wich was absolutely amazing. Meet up with the tour guide, an British family of four and my roommate for the whole trip at the Hanoi opera House.
From there we took a private bus too the temple of literature. The temple was in a beautiful garden and looked pretty impressive. I just kinda hoped in the temple of literature would be more books but well can't have everything.
The guide told us all about how in vietnam in the past children only learned about literature in school really nothing much beside that. There used too be state wide exams and the names of people passing with top marks where put on some stones wich stood on turtles too be an inspiration for future generations. The vitnamese semm too be pretty obsessed with turtles it's one of there holy animals but really there are everywhere.
Fun fact another holy animal is a unicorn but not how we know it, it has the body of a lion mixed with the head of an dragon, which by the way is another holy animal.
We also got inside the actual temple too look at all the bright colours and statues of an important professor who was kinda known too be the wisest man of all or something like that.
After this we got traditional vitnamese green tea, which was a little too strong for my taste but the green bean cake was great.Read more

Day 3
Hanoi City trip part 2
July 3, 2018 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 37 °C
After tea it was time too go to the famous prison Hoa lo where the French inprisoned many people who tried too revolt against there occupation of Vietnam.
It was horrible too see how people where treated back then by the French. On cell sometimes hold 300 people in just a few square meters. It reminded me of the way people in concentration camps where treated and it was really humbling too be there.
After the prison we took the bus too the cathedral build by the French too look just like nothredam.
From there we started walking (and sweating 38°c)
too get too a little temple inside of a lake which looked stunning. I was really surprised how green this city actually is.
We got too a little local shop too eat noodle and beef soup which was amazing, you just didn't wanted too check too close how clean everything really was.
After eating the trip ended and my roommate and I decided too walk back too the hotel.
The way there definitely was adventerous, the traffic here still kinda scares me no one stops you just walk and hope for the best.
But it was a great way too get a first impression of the city, it's loud and it's messy but I kind of really like it.
And well you learn too really appreciate showers.Read more

Day 4
Halong bay
July 4, 2018 in Vietnam ⋅ 🌬 32 °C
Halong Bay is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too. The scenery looks like a post card no matter where you look.
We got on an boat [where we would be spending the night] in an harbour and drove out into this amazing view. When the boat docked we went on a smaller one too head out too a cave which was impressive. From there we got too an small island with a beautiful beach and a hill we could climb for an even more astonising view. We took our time climbing and swimming and after that we got on the boat real quick just in time for the most amazing sunset of my life. If I had just seen this and nothing else in vietnam I would still be happy with my trip.
The chef then prepared fresh sea food on the boat and even squid is great when prepared by this genius in this scenary.
After waking up the next morning we went kajaking in the bay but sadly didn't saw any monkeys still was loads of fun.
And much too soon it was time too say goodbye too halong Bay even though I definitely hope too be back some day.Read more
