Greetings from Hanoi! We arrived safe and sound after another very long journey plus an attempted sleep in the airport which was probably the most uncomfortable nights sleep ever!! But hey ho, Hanoi is very busy the traffic is crazy we have never seen so many mopeds and there are literally no rules, we quickly realised the only way to cross the road is to venture out very slowly and dodge the mopeds who beep constantly!!

Hi all, We are writing this in Dubai airport as they conveniently have free internet...good times!! Dubai has been lovely, in terms of appearance its a bit like a small version of New York. When we arrived we were heading down the motorway and in the distance we began to see skyscrapers including the Burj Khalifa which towers above them all. However Dubai is only just beginning to grow, they are building everywhere so in a few years time it will probably be hug...
