My second weekend down South was actually spend Up North. I had to go up to Hanoi to write my foreign service exams and so it was my last hurrah with the Hanoi Crew.
It was a good weekend however I am pretty glad that I was down in the South. The weather in the north is dismal at best ( check out Hieu's Post on the mold) the house when you look at it looks like it is sweating that's how wet it is up there. It's very very hard to keep mold from not growing on your clothes.
The weekend was a great typical Hanoi weekend we had some drinks and dinner on Friday night. Enjoyed some fine wince with the ladies of Dung Vo (Hieu, Caroline and Lora) Then went for Chinese food and a trip down to Le Pub and to the gay bar.
Saturday is Ultimate Day...hopefully not my last in Hanoi. The Hanoi club has grown so much since when I first started and I really have to thank Mai, Tu , Jonathan, Dan, Hieu and everyone else that helped introduce/ made me addicted to the game!!Saturday was also the last visit to Solace...how I will miss that Bar. Solace is the only Late Late night bar in Hanoi, it's on the Red River so that it can avoid bribing the cops too much and so that it can actually stay open with out bugging anyone.
Saturday Hieu and I ( hahah OK it was Hieu's House ) had the Locals from the Vietnamese team over to have a great Vietnamese Feast! The whole Idea started with Hieu asking g Mai if she would take her to the market,then it grew into taking the two of us, then to inviting other people too and just grew and grew from there. In the end Hieu and I were in charge of making the fruit smoothies and help roll the spring roles. I was continually teased as I was making far too Long Spring rolls.
It tool us a little longer to prepare supper and so I had to eat fairly quickly as I had to fly back to HCMC. It was a great ended to my trip to Hanoi. I am not sure when I will be back up, I believe maybe in a few months for either work or a visit.
Next Stop....BALI!!!
