We're in Hanoi enjoying the hussle and bustle of Vietnam. Saw Uncle Ho yesterday. Crossing the road is fun - there are millions of bike motorbikes racing around. However if you walk slow they'll go round you... Bit cooler in Hanoi than other places - first time for a while we've not had to put the air con on in our hotel.

Had breakfast and tea yesterday in a restaurant called "Koto" which trains street kids to be staff in restaurants. Food was excellent and the staff were fantastic - a great charity which we're really impressed by, especially as it's grown from selling sandwiches outside of the railway station. Check it out at www.koto.com.au.

BTW the photo for this blog is not from Vietnam but this website doesn't have any 'Nam pics...
