Hanoi is a nice place. You have loads of temples and pagodas, dozens of Ho-Chi-Minh-museums, etc. - and the beer corner! A junction with a 'bar' on every corner selling a glass of bia hoi for 3000d (0,12Euro). You meet lots of people there and later head on to the proper bars which stay open longer, where you pay up to 25.000 for a bottled beer.
beer corner - you only see one in the center (I was sitting in the opposite one), the other two are further left and right
Ho-Chi-Minh's mausoleum (was closed so I didn't meet him)

easy, but I actually paid for a sleeper train and I didn't get much of sleep...
China so far seems nice but cold. I bought shoes and socks and the weather forecast for Beijing is -4C. And no one speaks English. Have to learn some basic Mandarin fast. There is so many McDonald's here, wherever you are you can see one. KFC as well.
