UniBreak Julie in Hanoi

Quick update from Hanoi



Thought id write a fwe lines before i go to the guest house tommorrow. Im ok. a little daunting trying to find your way around a busy crazy city. The hotel in Hanoi is basic but ok as i get breakfast!
Food is cheap but when you fork out 65,00 dong its shit how much is that!!! I try to work it in to Ausssie dollars but i dont do it very well.
 
Im of to learn vietnamese so thats my next challenge. half day lesson. Its winter but not too cold. Its overcast in the mornings and i manage to get a sweat up as i walk every where good exercise
 Ive done some sight seeing and went to the old vietnamese uni. I had to pat a turtles head that was carved in stone to make me knowledgeable and for goodluck when i study and god knows i need all the help i can get studying!! Also had a photo with confuscios so thats a bonus!!!
I have a bit of a giggle when every body who's driving toots there horn as you have to walk on the road. I dont go too far at night in case i get lost. Not sure when i'll get a chance to say hi but will at some point. Did some shopping DVD's but see if they work when i get home, but no shoes yet.
Its a four time difference so its 7.45 pm and home its midnight.
