Abrupt posts are the way to go.

As it is, I'm sitting here on the bed of my dodgy hotel writing this post in Hanoi, Vietnam. It's been fun 'squatting' down eating pho by the streets whereas the cloud of dust rises in the air. The pollution is pretty bad sure, but the weather is so soothing and much better than Singapore's own hot and humid climate. I guess we came at the right time.
The traffic is like China, whereby traffic lights are a miss thing. But it has been thoroughly enjoyable and although it's supposed to be an educational trip, it feels as though I'm on a holiday. Oh, and I learned Vietnamese with the greatest translators, and not to mention I rode on a motorcycle. Sweet.
Tomorrow will head down to Qang Ninh so that we can have a home stay in the village. No hot water probably, but oh wells, we'll definitely try the village life. I guess in a morbid way, I am looking forward to it. Though let's just say I do prefer the comforts of home.
Well as they say in Vietnamese,
tam biet!
