Day 2 Vietnam

Today we rented motorbikes and road around Hanoi all day. It was insane. There are no lights or stop signs and there are motorbikes filling the roads, it looks very scary, but if you just keep going with the flow it is pretty easy. We road around, did some shoping (bought 8 Wii games for $9US), went to the Temple of literature (which is the oldest school in Vietnam, and it was beautiful!), hung out with some locals on the side of the road, met a friend who showed us around, went to a traditional puppet show (it was all in vietnamese so couldn't understand it, but it was all done on water and had like music, it was really interesting), and then got some dinner. It was a very long day and thanks to the motorbike we saw most of the city. Tomorrow we get up at 7am to go to Halong. I am really looking foward to that! Also, we have been picking up a lot of vietnamese words and phrases, after trying to learn cantonese, this seems so much easier!
