Arrived




We flew Korean air and it was quite luxurious, overfed with Korean food. Especially enjoyed the bimiabop soup. We arrived in Hanoi near midnight but the streets were still busy-many motorbikes piled high with flowers, fruits veggies as people made their way early to markets and deliveries. We are staying in the old quarter, a jumble of narrow streets and chaos of houses and shops- a jumble built over jumbles dating back to the 13th century. Marge is already jumping into her Vietnamese and people are enjoying that. In general people are very friendly. Not a big city feel yet. Our brains are messed up with a 10 hr difference, but we will meet with Doh today and venture out and about.
