After our cross-Pacific "layover" in South Korea, it was time to travel onto Vietnam. Our first stop was the beautiful city of Hanoi, which was an excellent introduction to Vietnam. This is a city where you can feel the culture, and the heat!

This was our only full day in Hanoi, so we braved the heat and the motorbikes (traffic is crazy here) to visit some of the major attractions like the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. We also found one of Steph's favorite things about Vietnam, egg coffee.

After a couple days in Hanoi it was time to head over to Ho Chi Minh City and check out another part of Vietnam. Compared to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City is far more industrial. On day one, we sampled some outstanding craft beers and pho, hit some major attractions, and got a taste of the night life.

On day two we answered the question "How does Vietnam remember the Vietnam War?" and the answers we got were chilling. At the War Remnants Museum we got an alternative look at the atrocities committed during the war. Afterward we toured around town a bit and capped off Vietnam with an excellent meal at a restaurant recommended by Cam Ly!
