GIEU Vietnam - a quick hello from Hanoi

This is a virtual postcard from TA in Hanoi:

So GIEU Vietnam is the first GIEU site to start this summer.
Everyone has got to Hanoi, Vietnam, safe in one piece (though one piece of luggage was missing, and then was collected on Monday)
The first part in Hanoi is more of exploration and getting to know Vietnam but it seems everyday is fully packed.
Hanoi is hot and humid, in comparison with temperate weather in the States. Vietnam has Monday off as the extended day of the long weekend holiday.
After a long and busy day, I could find some peaceful moments as the day ends to think of the charming Hoan Kiem Lake. There is a always tranquil place in the middle of the bustle and crowded city that one can find peace.
We will update with more real activities and thoughts from the students.
