1st Week - The beginning in Ha Noi

Xin Chao (Hello)!

From GIEU 2010 - First week in Hanoi
This week we spent in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. We've done a bunch of crazy and exciting things such as visiting the Presidential Palace and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and even shopping in the Old Quarter.

We also visited the "Hanoi Hilton" prison where prisoners of war were held during French reign and during the Vietnam war. This evening we're departing to Dong Ha in central Vietnam on an overnight train. Keep looking at the blog for updates of our travels.
