Nam!

Getting into Nam was crazy, the chinese custom officer needed to see my license as well as mended passport due to water damage, and then i had to show like 5 different vietnam officers/checkpoints my passport. i was like come on, really, again...., you guys should take a picture it will last longer. then they checked my luggage. i was like, no i don't have any illegal banyon trees or snuff im trying to import, and no i dont want to stay in nam illegally working in a rice field, even though you do get a money straw-cone hat out of the gig. then i went to exchange money and the guy tried to give me like 7200 dong when i shoulda got 720,000. i was like get the fetch outta here Charles!  and yup, in vietnam i'm a millionaire, who woulda thought i could turn 650 into a milly just by crossin a border, maybe that's why they checked me out so much.
Hanoi has like the craziest traffic ever, i thought china was bad, hanoi is on a different level. the first night we went to the water puppet show which is hilarious to say the least. plus, the hostel im staying at has free beer nightly from 7-8pm and free breakfast, epic.
went to Halong Bay for a night and saw the epic limestone peaks.
well....off to free beer hour....chyeah!!
