Too Much Proteinenlarged Liver

Hanoi Capital

Hello,

So it is with a preparation of 24 hours since I left for the capital. I had work to do there. What better way than to combine a trip? And what better than a short trip at the last minute??

The star attraction was a visit to Halong Bay, considered the most beautiful site in Vietnam. Visit is fairly standard: two days and a night cruise on the boat. Well, I guess you're afraid when I speak of a night on the boat?? Well, it was pretty comfortable and almost luxurious (!) Here is what we can see


Then Hanoi was cold (10 degrees) and, ironically, I forgot my jacket only to HCMC. Anyway, the city has much history and charm. Much quieter than in the south. Here are some highlights:





Oh, and yes, I also worked there ... But AC is not so exciting!

Bus Story



If you follow Nicolas for a little while, you know that buses are always conducive to adventure Nicolas. After the bus in India, the bus in Mexico, Bolivia bus, the bus here in a village in Vietnam.

The idea came after realizing that the long weekend day of the year would be a good time to visit a small village in central Vietnam. Buon Ma Thuot. Nobody went and nobody will ... where about. It is the capital of coffee. Vietnam is the 2nd largest coffee exporter behind Brazil. And this city is THE city when it comes to coffee. It is also the gateway to the largest national park in Vietnam. So it is with a monster geule wood that I start on 1 January 2010, with 2 Vietnamese, 1 Philipinoise, two Japanese, one Dutch and one Belgian.

There, we rented small bikes and we traveled the countryside, jungle and small villages deep in the mountains. We rode an elephant, market and drank lots and lots of coffee. So it was good but the problem is that there was no bus for the return. I had the good sense to me booker important meetings on Monday morning. I must go home. Thus, setting 1 was a bus at 20h in the evening. It was actually a chair in a bus lane as it was full. The bus would arrive in Saigon at night to Monday morning at 6am and then go to work. Well, we cancel the Plan 1. Plan 2, it is a ticket Sunday morning at 7am. I would take alone because there is only one ticket. The problem is that it is suspicious that a guy wants to sell me the ticket.

I chose plan 2 and the guy suspicious.

At 7am, the guy is supposed to take me to my hotel. It is here, at 7:01 am. He says he wants m'enmener breakfast. I want to know anything. It is with 2 other guys ladle. He told me that the bus is in 1 h and that has plenty of time. (More and more dubious). So we will lunch. He uses his limited English to ask me some questions. On''chatter''. Then I have absolutely taste the coffee in his stepmother. I reached her house, the lady is very happy to see me. Serves me coffee. I was introduced to the brother. The suspicious guys just wanted to practice his English. Since there are not many aliens who are traveling there, they are all nice bin. I have both eyes in the fat of bine and I just want my sacred camp at the CR & S * The bus arrives. I enter, they make me all big adios. The guy was on the verge of tears. I feel when 1am, I became one of his best friend. Weird. I am still affected. But that's where the story begins. The bus.

It's more a big mini-van. I have a corner of a bench. It's filled with people of the villages. Hygiene is something that varies widely among cultures. You can not imagine how. I'll try here to give you the highlights.
- Journey time: 9:30
- 1 single
30min break - no air conditioning
- 25 people in a van with a capacity exceeding 18
- The two guys on either side of me smoking.
- There's a baby
Braille - It passes through dirt roads and dust enters the bus
- I 'm probably one of the only foreigners to be seen in the last 5 years and everyone stares at me.

Those who must see to believe, take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNE3BVx5VUM
For added realism, will run under the sun for 2 hours, take your shoes tape them to your face, give you sticks in the knees and put on C $% S Pocket Vietnamese music in the ears.

I returned home quite MagaƱa.

you soon!

Stories bizarre little brother


Hello!

Unfortunately, I no longer write as much. The government blocked Blogger.com, the site I use to write my blogs.
But beware the Communist con, I have more than one trick in my bag!

So, little brother came to visit me for almost 2 weeks. What do you do with a little brother who comes to visit you in Vietnam? Bah, I did not know either ... I park in a corner of my room in a sleeping bag and I have visited a few.

crazy Moments:

- Walking in a neighborhood ladle, I see people congregating. Awesome I tell myself! I pull the little brother by the sleeve and told him to come and see the street artist. Surely a juggler or something. As I approached, I perceive that people flocked around a cadaver. Yes, yes, a guy who had just died. I pull the little brother's sleeve to get to the other side. The little brother said,''I want to see the street performer too!''. We will see the next time I replied while continuing to grow.

- A younger brother, AC has no idea how to navigate with a map.

- One night, the little brother is supposed to return to 18. It is almost 20h and no news of the little brother. Suddenly, you start to think that the little brother is like under your responsibility. I've always been lucky in travel and is easy when you have only yourself to think and to look after. So you begin to decide what engoisser and words used to tell your parents on the phone that you lost the little brother. And that's where the little brother comes whistling hands in his pockets. ''Where were you?''. Ah, bin ... I walked there ....

But it was still the same great adventures. Different but interesting!

Things # 39 Christmas in Vietnam

- There are Q-tips around ... In the locker room at the gym, washrooms in some restaurants ... When you finish you cut your hair, what do we offer you? Q-tips! Sometimes I wash my ears in the restaurant ... Or I let my hairdresser I wash them. Why? I do not know. Maybe to tell it to my children later.

- Celine Dion is really big.

- The Vietnamese have no idea what hockey, or Frisbee.

- Facebook is increasingly banned.

- Vietnam won a gold medal at the last Olympics ... in ... lifting dumbbells ... and yes, they are small but callibine.

- Vietnamese is the most copious quantities of immigrants in Poland. The thing even more strange is that the government is in trouble because many Vietnamese tourists taking the identity of family members dead (which holds Polish citizenship) to be legally resident in Poland. They can not prove that the person of 20 years is not the person of 80 years. The story does not say what happens to the body.

- The Laughing Cow is really big here.

- I'm in a Vietnamese commercial television. Click here to view .

- I participated in a''photo-shoot''
