Sitting around....walking around....exploring Hanoi. The people, the transport, the sites, sounds and smells. So much happening all around! This is a vibrant city that has some of the happiest people I have come across. A guy asked me if I wanted to have a ride on his motorcycle. YES! He took me through the crazy streets of Hanoi and around the lake. He got a selfie with me...."I want to say I took American on my motorcycle and he screamed". Yes, I did. But as one's life flashes before one's eyes....a scream or at least whimper is to be expected....
