Hanoi is one hell of a city. It's wonderful how the chaos is normal, and just a part of everyday life.
The Vietnamese are a very friendly culture. After smiling and laughing at our poor pronunciation, they are more than willing to help you with any issue you present. The heat is something I'll have to get used too, because it never ceases. Humid and hot should be every days forecast.
So far we've explored the city many times, and have had many freedoms. This will definitely change tomorrow when I meet, and move in with my host family, whom I know absolutely nothing about. We also visit the school for the first time tomorrow. It's an international language university, and although it is located in a typically non-westerner province, there are not many Vietnamese speaking kids that attend; at least to my understanding. It doesn't seem like I'll actually be starting school, but i'm looking forward to the routine of riding my bike to school, coming home, and doing work while all the while learning and interacting with my family. I certainly have a lot to look forward to.
I'll be uploading pictures soon, and probably in my next write up or two have some posted on here.
This is going to be such an experience, and I've already had lots of unexpected fun... but not too much.
Tomorrow is a new day.
