Halong Halong first day
today will not notice any particular. I have no inspiration. I promised, so I write, but please understand. Yesterday came from travel Canadian, German and Polish. Well, as the Pole ... In any case, clever and funny things to my head did not come: P
Traveling alone in Vietnam is not easy. Nobody talks in English, and even sign language is not always true, because some these gestures others are. Fortunately, after 2.5 hours waiting for the bus, I managed to get to the good. Do not try to pronounce local names. They really sound different than it looks. This time was invaluable guide. It was enough to show the picture and the name of the city to which I wanted to reach out and know what I mean:)
journey was quite long. 5 hours on the bus is a massacre. Even as the climate. And I could spend hours on the bus up 7th And all the little cullet. It would seem that people here should be cracked accustomed. At the local traffic is standard. And yet, as the cullet (actually it's not even cullet and abrasion of the car and the bus - a shadow on the length of 5 cm, nothing else) in Poland załatwilibyśmy within 10 minutes. I would spokój.A here? Two hours of standing. I have no idea what were discussing, why so much arguing and why at some point they began to beat normally. I must admit that I was a little scared, because nobody has been able to tell me what is happening and if and when we get to the place. In addition, it was getting late, and I had no hotel booked ...
In the end, I managed to get through. Even the hotel I found. Photos already have one. Such is our 2-3 star hotel for $ 10 bucks per night. Only in English, of course, not talking: P Anyway, I got a room with a bed duuużym, Klima, a decent bathroom and television. Just a luxury. I lay in bed watching the Vietnamese music channel and I was wondering what would happen, as I already did not move from there: P BTW: Can you imagine the Backstreet Boys version of the Vietnamese? Story;)
And in the morning I woke up pounding the door. I had no clue about what's going on, but it turned out that it is imperative right now want to clean my room. Very nice in their place, but why on 7.45?
So I set off for a walk. Along the way, I ate soup for breakfast and went toward the bay. The city as a city. Loud, crowded and dirty. And of course you can always find something that you totally break down the blade. Such as chicken (although it's probably some other bird, but such poultry) held in the middle of town on a string tied to a tree ... I do not know why, but even fed it. And in the evening I saw Put in a cage. And the next day again, tied to a tree ... Maybe instead of a dog?
turned out that the bay is only 20 minutes walk from the hotel. And it is beautiful. Anyway, you can see in the pictures. But the law has traditionally repeat that nohow do not reflect reality. Do not even really describe what it is, you have to see. And it is crowded like the rest of Vietnam. Everywhere is full of boats. During the break, drank coffee, Vietnamese. She's amazing. Best coffee they drank. Very strong, very bitter taste and chocolate. Drink it with condensed Milk and ice. I have to necessarily buy the stock of coffee and bring to Polish. At 13 could no longer withstand the heat and the heat, so I went back to the hotel to rest, to go out again, about the 18th Bay is a beautiful evening. The water reflects the lights of ships, and how the piece goes from the street it is really easy.
in Halong are popular street singers. But I do not like us gitarką at the station, just tear each other great speakers and sing into the microphone. Very cool climate is doing. Unfortunately, also sang just under my window late into the night and the early morning hours verbatim ... Then I had enough of this climate. But in the evening when the bay is nice.
And then I went to the cafe. There's no pubs or clubs. But there are "cafe" and it is sometimes quite nice. I had a great desire for a drink. Rum and coke on my mind in particular. But, what a surprise!, Did not know English. So I ended up with piwkiem in hand. I just looked at me like I was freak. In general, continues to stare ... It is rather unusual for a woman to sit here the same evening in a bar, and already, in particular, with beer and cigarettes. I'm starting to slowly get used to curious staring at me. The more that due to my height and weight rather stands out from the crowd. Even the most guys I'm about to head higher.
On the way to the hotel, I came across a Christmas celebration at the school. Cool thing. Nicely dressed ladies dancing the traditional dances of Vietnam. I wanted to move here two videos that I have. But I can not. Here are the error crashes, rapid want to upload them for 10 hours, youtube does not want to have a breath. You any idea? Gee, are really cool ... As someone think of something to let him write:)
Tomorrow you'll write something about Vietnamese funeral, a little road sign and the "PRL" reality here. You will be a hotchpotch of curiosities. And this time, excuse me, but I'm going to take a nap;)
