I did today almost nothing. First I ate this great chicken (or pork?) -Noodle soup at a small street stand near my hostel.
Then I searched for a laundry shop, I had a picture of some addresses the girl of the apartment gave me but they were either closed, laundrys for suits or too far away. I decided to ask in the hostel were they said I can also wash my laundry there which I then did. Now in the evening I found out that there were some laundry shops right around the corner for a little bit less than in the hostel 🙈
After that I took a motorcycle-taxi to the train station and bought a ticket to Sa Pa, or better a place near from that, for tomorrow night. I will ride from 10 pm till 6 am and have a soft sleep place for 400.000 VND, which are about 16$. Then I just walked around, in the direction of the hostel but pretty much how I wanted without any aim. I was nice and I walked also in some streets who were more quiet and without all the tourists. But especially in those streets many people looked at me, which feeled a little bit weird. I don’t know why, I think a part of it was that I walked around with shorts. I you want to spot the tourists you just have to look who wears shorts when it’s warm but not really hot^^ because for all the people living there it’s not that warm so they wont wear shorts that often. Another thing are my long hairs I think, I’ve got some compliments for them here and there are really not that many people with long hair around 😅
And of course my eyes 🙈
Well, after some wandering around I came back to the lake from earlier. I bought some mango at a stand, walked a bit more and bought some presents I had on my list. Today the streets around the lake were very calm and it was really nice walking there. There was also a group of four musicians who made really great music, there was a huge crowd around them and many kids danced to their music 🙂 I sat there more than an hour just listening to their music 😅
After finally getting myself to go on I went back to the hostel, got my laundry back and chilled a little bit.
I went then out to get something to eat, noodles with chicken and soup at the side, way different than the one I ate in the morning but soo delicious. Then I wandered through the nightmarket of Hanoi, wrote with my friends back home who just woke up at the time and looked at all the cool stuff the market people offered.
That was all^^
