Its been about a week now that I have been in Hanoi...and I am itching to get out. The pollution, traffic, heat and humidity is not a good mix with sou. I am a lucky lucky girl to have this oppportunity and I am trying as hard as I can to make the best out of it but I just have to say I cannot get over this city. I saw a kid whip it out and pee into the sewer. There are traffic lanes and lights here but do people follow them? Nope, no they dont. I have to agree with everyone when they that asians just do not know how to drive. Fucking asians. lol
No the city hasnt been all bad. My roommie for the time being, Rachel, and I have been trying new places and she's great company. Keeps me on my toes since compared to her Im more of a timid city go-er. Im getting use to the pace of the people and I learned how to cross the street, yes I said "learned" because asians cant drive and I've been almost ran over by at least a dozen motorbikes. Ive met some pretty interesting people. Interesting to say the least...a few of them: A 60+ old man who refuses to return back to reality (his words not mine) a 28 yrs old guy who prefers to live and judge people within this bubble of a city, a very sweet drag queen whose trying to save up money by fighting cocks (roosters) to move to bangkok and this sweet thang of a bartender a few steps from the apt. 20 so a little young but i would give him some lovin'. lol
I have an intern whose work I am responsible for...crazy right?! He is about 5'4 probably weighs less than me and walked into the office with a huge hickey on his neck that he oh so gratuitously showed off in his V-neck. i work in an office with 5 other women who are so small, cute and smart. I do, however, feel like a mammoth sitting next to them. lol
I like the apt I'm staying in. Its pretty awesome. Rachels got it made. the only down side is my room is upstairs and the bathroom is down...doesnt work well for those late night drunken trips to the bathroom so I just have to make sure I dont drink too much...or drink enough to pass out downstairs. lol Just Kidding! I dont drink! lol
I leave for Hoi An on Wednesday and Im just excited to see the beach...even if i cant swim.
Sou. Don't get in the water past your knees! Unless there's a cute boy close by who can save you;) I'd like to hear more about these characters. Glad it's an adventure! XO.
