Hanoi: The land of motorcycles and weasel coffee

One important thing to remember about Hanoi is that you need a great deal of stamina and agility. You definitely need that for all the walking and touring around.


...But what you don't know is that it's mainly for dodging the countless motorcycles while crossing the street! - and I really mean COUNTLESS. The motorcycles really seem to outnumber the cars, making the streets prone to accidents (they have an accident count board along one of their main roads). They say that Filipinos are the 'best' drivers in Asia, but after going here, I think I'd have to disagree. :p

Don't get me wrong though, this is actually part of the adventure!... I think. :p But I assure you, the sights and sounds of Hanoi are all worth dodging motorcycles for. :))
