in Viet Nam it was unbearably cold! I know, this statement sounds bizzarre from a russian girl, but there was no opportunity to get warm and even those +10C were felt like hell after the hot Laos and Thailand! Even the cofeeshops where you can drink the best cofee ever with a bottom covered with reach portion of condenced milk, even they didn't have any doors, neither heaters!
Well, but there ain't no doubt that i enjoyed all my days in Ha Noi! First lazy, slowly days at an Australian hostel, having an included to the price somewhat breakfast, movie room and knitting, then crazy days with an amazing hospitality of Tracy and all the couchsurfers i met there! Have to confess, i even drank there, quiet much, but that was worthwile as it was too cold and the bars were too inviting:)
Of course there was one event which i can't call positive at all. When I was refused to issue a Chinese visa in Ha Noi, I decided to move back to Vientiane, Laos to receive one. And the transportation was choosed as on the forward way - buses. But this time the driver chited me harshly! Not only he took the duble price but also didn't inform me that the second one will drop me off at the border, from which i'll have to find a way out by myself! And it was again cold and foggy, i crossed the border in a slow pace as all the passangers were let through in front of me. Then i get ot at a Laos side and that's it, no bus, nothing visible due to the thick fog, raining, wet shoes, expencive taxis standing on the side of the road and only tears of despare apeared on my face. But i was lucky to find a mini bus, full of a kindest family who gave me a ride till the first warm point in Laos!
