1. It is hot here
2. Sweating is normal
3. Riding the motorbike around is fun/stressful, depending on which one of us you ask and when.
4. The car population continues to grow. According to an article we read yesterday, there are 380,000
cars registered in Hanoi. Though motorbikes still greatly outnumber cars, with 3.7 million registered
motorbikes in Hanoi.
5. Hanoi is becoming more and more like Illinois - the weather is totally unpredictable.
Well, this was started soon after our return, but just getting back to add #5, so, I'll add a few things recently observed.
1. Instead of a tree branch sticking up in the road to warn people to watch out for the gaping man hole,
someone used a clothes tree.
2. With all the rain, seeing people on motorbikes with umbrellas again. This was outlawed sometime
ago for motorbikes, though it is still legal for bicycles.
Time to post. More later.
