Arrival!

Alright so I made it safe and sound, and am currently in a backpackers hostel in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Flights were all good, blah blah blah, but I can see that the adventure definitely started once I got here. I arrived at the airport, my visa on arrival worked out, and there was a man waiting for me with my name in the lobby (as planned). Once he started driving me I could tell that this place is quite different than anything I have ever known. Everyone here drives INSANE. No other word for it, its just pure chaos on the road. There are tons of motorbikes darting between cars, people driving in the wrong lane, and it seems that a 2 lane road means that its a 6 lane road if the fit is right. So crazy, but I saw no accidents... but most likely will.

The hostel is super awesome. Its really clean and beautiful. There are linens for the beds, free breakfast, free internet, free movies, etc etc etc. And it's only $5.50 US per night. Yeah. Soooo good. So anyways, that's my crazy first impression of Vietnam. Can't wait for the adventures to begin.
