Since I adapted to the time change, I have been sleeping really well. The excitement of my journey yesterday has not warn off yet. When I leave the hotel in the AM, the streets of Hanoi are already so busy. They are especially teaming with the waves of scooters carrying people who knows where. In the midst of the organized chaos a.k.a. traffic, I always wonder where all these people could possibly be going.
While stupid ferenge is swimming in perspiration after a 30-45 minute walk, I notice the locals bundled up in attire that I would not be able to wear even if the mercury were 20 degrees, let alone the 35 or more that is is here. When out and about yesterday, I am sweltering in a cafe in Bát Tràng, and one of the servers gets off shift, gets her bicycle out of its parking spot, puts on gloves and a light jacket, and runs off down the street. Maybe they are protecting themselves from the intense almost-equatorial sun, not sure.
Spoke to my lovely Sweet Thing again and she is very busy. She mentioned since she returned from golf school the day I left for Hanoi, she has not got in a lot of rounds of 18. So it's off to the R&R tonight to check out yet another music establishment.
