Yes we are in Vietnam. First stop to the north Hanoi. We had heard nothing good about this place from other Travelers, but have found out that not everyone likes the same things. We love it here. The "PHO" local beef noodle soup is so good. It's definitely a step up from the soups in Thailand. There are very few tourists here as well, and much of there culture is still in tact. Today we came to see the famous Halong Bay, and now we will start to make our way down south to find warmer weather. Yesterday we decided to try out all the culinary delicacies from the north. First Larisa decided to try grilled dog. Not great but edible, second we had weasel shit coffee. Yes the weasels eat the coffee beans, and then after it flows through them the remains are ground into your morning coffee. OK it tasted great, but that was a tough one to swallow. The last drink we tried was the spit of the birds that they use to make there nest, it turns into some kinda fungus and is then added to one of the local drinks. Yes I have tried them all, I don't know why, but while in Rome.......Vietnam is very different so far, and much more difficult, but it's true culture still remains, as it is not over run with tourism.
