VIETNAM
Country Overview:
“A culturally and communistic adventure”
Vietnam is amazing. The food, the people, the history, the architecture - all of it seems to hit you as soon as you land. Whether you’re in the cultural and artistic Hoi An or bustling Saigon, Vietnam has something for everyone. I started in Hanoi and took a train all the way down to Saigon, stopping at several cities along the way, including a 2 day boat cruise in Halang Bay. Although I did get brutally sick for a few days, my trip to Vietnam will one I remember forever. One of my favorite spots was Hanoi, which has tiny curving streets filled with food stalls, and kegs on the sidewalk where you pay a dollar for a beer and sit on tiny plastic stools drinking with strangers. If you’ve ever thought about traveling to Vietnam, take the trip. You won’t regret it.
Hội An, Vietnam - Day 5
*Not me paragliding
Hội An has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Other than that, it’s a nice place to enjoy the lanterns at night and drink some beer before taking a 20 hour sleeper train to Ho Chi Minh
Hanoi, Vietnam - Day 1
Hỏa Lò Prison was used by the French colonists in French Indochina for political prisoners, and later by North Vietnam for U.S. prisoners of war during the Vietnam war. During this later period it was known to American POWs as the Hanoi Hilton. The flight suit belongs to the late John McCain. The guillotine was one of two the French used to execute prisoners.
My buddy Marc said he wanted to see more graffiti on here, so there you go buddy.
