The Hanoi Legend
My first day in Hanoi won me some friends already. Since my friend Hop is still in Vung Tau, near Saigon, I somehow decided to take the day easy. Then I've met Thu and her friends at the Cafe Giay (which is owned by Thu's family). One girl is studying at the University with her and another guy has recently been back to Vietnam after 6 years in Cambridge. Since I don't have any plans, they decided to take me on a little tour of Hanoi and we went to the Hoan Kiem Lake that tells a legend of a Tortoise.
