omg hanoi!!!

And so today marks the beautiful first day of my ceedership in Hanoi.. The plane flight was terrible judging from its not adjustable seats and really crampy leg space.. but i guess that is what you get when you travel budget.. I VOW to go for SIA first class next time when i travel.. so money making machine WILL materialise.. ( ok i am running very very far away from the main topic.. HANOI!!)

And so I was picked up by a fellow AIESECer Linh at the airport..(she is the classic vietnamese beauty, soft spoken , beautiful long hair, slim ( super JEALOUS LA!!), nice smile, perfect wife material :)) And we took a bus to town.. Mana tau celaka half way the bus broke down.. So we decided to walk .. and by walking i mean walking with all my luggage .. Just imagine yah KLites and Singaporean-lites, walking with my trolley luggage AGAINST traffic on a road FULL of motorcyclist flying around in the middle of the road.. yah that is wat i did just now.. TAKUT SIA!! but i put on a cool face and just followed Linh.. she was my guiding star.. ahhaha.. and i am proud to say WE MADE IT!! woooooosh.. bangga celaka babi la!

And den my awesome host picked us up from a junction.. I had my first motorbike ride in ages today! it was really really cool.. but i will have to admit, i did close my eyes banyak kali during the ride.. Trang was a whiz on the road, super super good but i guess i am not used to it yet.. ahhaha( Random : here they drive on the left side.. some cars at least.. first time nampak sia.. ahhaa)

Trang's house??? super uber cantik gila babi!! seriously, its on the 22nd floor overlooking Hanoi city, can see lakes can see the red river can see banyak banyak stuff.. really nice view~ and da decor?? macam hotel sia.. or at the very least macam itu show house.. NICE!!
Trang made lunch and it was really nice.. home cooked meal ok..i damn freaking lucky la.. and den i kong (tidur like a babi for 4 hours).

Just now, Trang brought me on her motor to Hoan Kiem lake.. at night the place was really cool.. the wind was blowing away.. (wind in the hair effect sia) Walked around the lake while Trang showed me certain historical and worth looking 'stuff'( for the lack of better words) Really cool! and of course i saw MANY potential shops to SHOP!! ( you knew the S word was gonna come up sooner of later rite??) And den we had Vietnamese ICE-CREAM that according to Trang is the most traditionally made ice-cream and supposedly the best in Hanoi.. it was yummylicious of course.. Trang said that Vietnamese that leaves the country will always relate the ice-cream to home. That is like how Malaysians relate our maggie goreng , roti canai or char kueh teow to home.. mmm writing bout this is making me hungry..

Anyway that concludes my awesome first day. Yes i did take pics and no I cannot put it up here.. Y?? cos itu celaka babi lappie of mine is not cooperating at all.. slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap its face la.. ish i want to go online using my lappie!!! babi celaka sial la ..
Anyhoo.. i nak tidur dah.. according to hanoi time its 11.39 pm .. means its 12.39 am in malaysia and singapore.. plus the horrible seats in air asia and the tak tidurness the nights before .. and adding on the walk when the bus broke down.. i am exhausted.. nites tidur la..
