Well it's been all go here today. Woke at half seven and thought I should go and see some of Tokyo in the day. Rush hour in the rain is always good fun. Purchased a little rail card that you top up when you need to very much like that of the London oyster card really. So found myself in harajuku which is the the area where Gwen stefani found the girls from for her little music video being rich girls.

After a night in Hanoi we moved on to a little cruise around Halong Bay. Quite an adventure it has turned out to be.
