After more hours than I care to think about, we landed in Bangkok just as the clock was striking midnight. Fireworks were plentiful and our hotel was decorated for Christmas. Our guide told us , "The Thai people are Buddhist, but we're flexible. " :) My first meal of 2014 was fresh pineapple, mango, watermelon, and Thai pork stew. Yum!
Then we took a 2 hour plane ride to Hanoi. It was strange to hear "Feliz Navidad" on a Vietnam plane going to Hanoi. This is my first trip to Asia, and I think I can say I've now been to a "third world city". I'm glad I have my masks and inhaler along as the pollution is bad.
The following photos are street scenes in Hanoi.
