Hanoi hustle

Nice hotel view in Hanoi, even with an aircon unit that heats up the room. Which is not what you need in the Hanoi summer temperatures, already in the mid-30s.

I like Hanoi in the summer for its hot hustle and bustle. Eating noodles on the side of the street, brow permanently moist, crazy traffic zipping about, taking shots of coffee, high energy colleagues. You've just got to remember to leave before winter starts and the damp soaks into your bones.

Life is insanely busy. I don't know how anyone can ever be bored in this world.
