Vietnam VI: Sapa Road Trip

After the trek hung out in Sapa for a couple days playing online poker. It's a good place to chill. Then rented a scooter and went on a little road trip with a couple Austrian travelers.

Vietnam V: Sapa

Sapa is a picturesque mountain town in NW Vietnam near the Chinese border, an overnight bus ride from Hanoi. It is surrounded by terraced fields and inhabited by ethnic minorities, mostly Hmong and Dao.

Vietnam IV: Hanoi & Ha Long Bay

It took well over a year into my trip to reach Vietnam. I believe I stated in a previous entry that Vietnam is the Asia I envisioned when leaving home. This trend began with the canals in the Mekong Delta and continued though out the country. As a traveler Hanoi has to rank as one of the very best cities to visit in SE Asia. After having already been to more than a dozen major Asian cities, Hanoi is what I had been anticipating from the start, but never found.
