You don't just visit Hanoi. Hanoi visits you. Take a walk down any street of this fast-paced Vietnamese capital of commerce and communism and prepare to be overwhelmed by sensory delights (and annoyances). Motorbikes buzz around intersections like nests of angry hornets. Your feet trip over small plastic stools at street-side noodle shops. Vendors chase you down the street like used car ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I always get a laugh when I see people walk the streets of Manhattan with backpacks worn on their fronts. Millions of people commute into and around the city every day, yet the outnumbered visitors take extreme measures to make sure their subway maps and recently ...Hanoi is water-logged

1. Josh, for example, talked about the upcoming opening of the Holiday Inn in Hanoi and what this signifies for ...Hanoi Holiday (Inn)
Aug 29th, 2008 at 9:00AM: Though the rapid rate of development has not hit Hanoi as hard as it has Ho Chi Minh City, the capital city of Vietnam still seems overwhelmed with new constructions. How this affects tourism numbers in the long term remains to be seen, but, for now, the number of visitors is rising (2 million international visitors projected by 2010).

Jun 11th, 2008 at 4:00PM: Anyone lose a Boeing 727 lately? I just checked my hangar and all of mine are in stock. Girlfriend check one out? Nope, she's on the yacht. Well someone is missing one. Vietnamese officials at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport can't seem to figure out who left the aircraft at their airport late last year; it's currently sitting collecting dust at on the tarmac with an outdated order for "essential ...I see dead people
Apr 26th, 2008 at 9:00AM: I have succumbed to the fascination in viewing dead people. I'm not talking about funerals, but about viewing dead people who have been dead awhile, as in years and years. The recent public viewing of Padre Pio, a Catholic saint, in San Giovani Rotondo, Italy has brought back memories.
Ho Chi Minh was my first preserved body tourist attraction. Mao Zedong was the second one. I wasn't really ...Hanoi's own version of Nessie -- except with more sightings
Nov 14th, 2007 at 1:10AM: When I first flew into Vietnam, I landed in Hanoi. After travelling through Laos, Vietnam was a bit of a shock -- it's more frantic and dirty than any city I've ever been to, even crazier than London, Paris, Bangkok and New York all put together. Crossing the street is a matter of life and death, people yell at you in foreign dialects for no apparent reason and you better not let the crowds push ...Cyclo Ride: A Virtual Thrill
Word for the Travel Wise (04/12/06)
Apr 12th, 2006 at 8:00PM: Instead of using only the flag to
help point out which country I'll be looking to pull a word from today I decided to use a picture from the area to help
refresh our memory on a past word explored and a new word today. This picture found at the Hanoi Language and Culture Tour site shows a florist with very pretty
flowers atop of a bicycle on a busy Hanoi street. Today's word is a Vietnamese word ...
