Hanoi and Blog Probs

We're now in Hanoi, and are not entirely sure if the blog is working. We can't access the site itself, but seem to be able to post, so for now we'll keep doing so. Would appreciate it if anyone out there with our email addresses could send us an email to say whether or not they can see the blog.... Well I guess if you are reading this than you can reach it ! So send us an email to say so. For now we cant read your comments, since we cant see the blog itself.

Hanoi is great. Quite european ( I guess French colonial) in layout. There seems to be more outward signs of wealth than in other parts of Vietnam we've visited. Many beautiful parks, monuments and the like, which I guess you would expect in a communist capital. The youths seem to be very up with the fashions. Last night saw many young Hanoians zooming around in ultrytrendy clothes, on very souped-up vespas and other expensive looking scooters! A cool site.

We're only here for the day, as tonight we catch an overnight train to Sapa, in the hills of NorthEastern Vietnam. We will return to Hanoi on the 11th June for a longer stay.
