Expat Life in Hanoi, Vietnam

It has nearly been a full month of living in Hanoi. It has been a hectic and very challenging month since moving here.

Carbon Copy not Possible

We have quickly learned that we cannot replicate life we had in Bangkok in Hanoi. This is one reason why we enjoy travelling the world and enjoy living in different countries. However, the challenges can be very frustrating!

The Rewards

An awesome new bike. SYM Wolf 2011 Classic!

Full of torque and a total beast to drive! Although, you will see in future posts the challenges of Hanoi traffic!

One of many Frustrations

The food here is simply not as good as Thai food. There is a great selection of expat food, any countries food you could desire and it is VERY good. But so far the Vietnamese food has been pretty one dimensional and is in a different league to Thai food!

Two of many frustrations

Being in Asia you would expect that finding a good location to play badminton would be easy! Errr no. We have been to over 10 locations and have found none!
