Crazy world, lotta smells

January 15, 2024

The people smile at me a lot less than read about. At least in Hanoi. They also do not really like to barter. We’ve offended some. Got an orange for 20k dong :/. The woman stuck her fingernail in it. Hope she didn’t wipe recently.

No typhoid yet. Stomachs have held up very great! Billy loves the bahn bao

A lovely place that used our leftover for the next group. Adds to the flavor!

We’ve noticed most people walk around with their heels hanging out their shoes and when they sit to relax they just take the whole shabang off. We get it now. Many blisties. Billy got these shoes from a very nice man with a very concerning toe!

Got in our first motorbikes here. Ready for more

Grabby grabby

Crossing the street here has given us shell shock. Our first large blonde Dutch friend made gave us good lessons on not giving a hoot or looking as that incited fear. I guess maybe look a little though.
