Backpacking around Vietnam

I haven't had as much time as I would like to blog about my experiences. Currently, I am in Ha Noi as of yesterday and will head to Sapa in the evening on an overnight train. Sapa has Vietnam's highest mountain. I may also get a chance to interact with local ethnic minorities.

So far, Ha Noi seems vastly different from Saigon. For one, the weather: 60 degrees, a nice departure from perpetual heat. I'm sure my overworked sweat glands are thanking me. More later.

Hi Julia,
It's amazing to see you exploring Vietnam. :) Whatever you are doing, I wish you luck and the best. I wish I could join you because Vietnam is where I was born and lived there for 18 years. Though I was born there but I have not been in the Central and North side. I bet it's beautiful over there.

I will come back this November again so I need to save my money :) Hope you can join HI trip this year too.
