So, i have just had my first weekend in Hanoi. After a long journey over nearly 3days with minimal sleep i arrived in the buzzing hubbub of Vietnam's capital city. The taxi ride from the airport was going smoothly until the car decided to die mid-route. Not really having much of an idea what was going on i was bundled out and put into a new taxi to take me the final leg of the journey to 'So 18, Van Ho III' my new home. I was eagerly greeted by the landlords who showed me to my apartment. They were very friendly and although they cannot really speak english, they managed to explain all the housekeeping essentials. This involved 'Thang' showing me how to turn on and off a light about 5 times (very entertaining!). They live with their son (who can actually speak some english) on the ground/1st floor and rent the floors above as apartments. Feeling super hot and exhausted i decided to have a shower and spent the next hour lying on my bed under the air conditioning with both fans on....well it was 35degrees!!I'm sure i'll get used to the heat...eventually!
