Oh No You Didn't



Sorry Mom, but I rented a moped and spent two days cruising the crazed streets of Hanoi. The second day was Andrea's day off from the conference, and she took this video from the back of our Honda Wave. Feel the pavement-rippling power of our 100cc hog, as we join the the chaos of Hanoi traffic. The video starts close to the Vietnam Military History Museum, and the first point of interest is Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum. From there we pretty much just get lost. Which pretty much summarizes my two days cruising Hanoi. Lots and lots of getting lost. And really, if there's a better way to see a city I can't think of it.

Mom says: "I'm jealous! I want to go and ride on the back of a bike too through Hanoi."

Looks like a great ride, and the traffic looks quite light, and very civilized. Great video; we felt like we were hanging on there with you.

Enjoy the rides, and Mom says to keep that helmet on. Love,

Paul and Stephanie
