Saying good bye to Hanoi.

So our visit is coming to an end. It's a great pity as there is some touch of freshness and magic in Vietnam. This country is really very different and the difference is in people. Surely, I don't know so many of them, but from what I can see and feel here, I must admit that it's the people who make the difference. Vietnam is developing so quickly, that we, who belong to, perhaps, more 'civilized' but less hard working nations, can only ask: "How do these tiny people manage to do so much and so quickly?" Especially women who are so friendly, good-looking as well as strong at the same time. Well, of course, there are some people sleeping on the banches in the streets and parks, but they are, probably, rural people unable to find a job in a big city. Anyway, Vietnam doesn't give the impression of a 3d world country. On the contrary, it's a fast growing community of quick minded and hard working people.
Well, Stanislav was doing his business here, while I was going to massage rooms and shopping. We stayed at the "Hanoi" hotel around the same lake in the centre of the city and had a splendid view from the window on the 12th floor.
I hope we'll come back soon as this city and country have become sort of part of our life.
Take care.
