(Sunshine through the trees near a temple in Hanoi)The brief stay in Hanoi (24 hrs for me) included a nice stroll around a lake, a dinner hosted by the Country Manager (Photo posted in the previous post) and a good lunch on Sun
day. Interesting part of the lunch was that we had to place the order the day before so that the "entrees could be guaranteed" :-). I had Spring Rolls, Veg Noodles and an Ice Cream Sundae. Then boarded the bus towards Ha Long Bay.
The drive towards Ha Long Bay was event less. We had a on-board briefing my Mark Warmington about the various things we "need" to know about the place. This included security, culture, food issues, medical briefing and some of his experiences. The heavy lunch and his talk did make some sleep :-). But all of us were clearly excited about the work, the clients, culture and everything associated with Vietnam.
I was at the front seat, next to the driver. It almost resembled India and a video from there could be posted as it was from the eastern parts of India. So much resemblance to the people, road rules or lack of etc :-)
Watch the video below - the bus driver overtakes at a bend :-) Towards the end of the video, you will see Mark and Sarah briefing the team.
