Hanoi Story(1) This is one of my travel stories. I should warn you that this is too long writing! I visited Hanoi, Vietnam in the beginning of May this year. I stayed at my friend's place. His place was a bit far from the Hanoi downtown. I took around 30 minutes by a taxi. I spent a weekend with him. He took me to many places by his motorcycle. On weekdays, of course, he needed to work. So, I borrowed his motorcycle during his working time. I could not only save money for a taxi but also experience like local Vietnamese people since most of them moved by motorcycle. That day I was heading by the motorcycle for a stamp store near the downtown since I wanted to make a special stamp as a souvenir for my daughter. However, I couldn't get there easily. The stamp store was located in a pretty complicated area for a tourist or a stranger. Since the google map on my phone indicated that I was a bit close area to the store, I stopped the motorcycle on the sidewalk and decided to leave the motorcycle for a while. I thought I just needed to find the store and could come back soon. However, the store was quite far more than I had expected. After I got lost, I simply followed the google map on my phone and somehow arrived at the store. So, I started to return to the place where I left the motorcycle. But, I got lost again. Then, I was confused. It was quite hard to find one motorcycle since there were so many motorcycles. There were more than 100 motorcycles on a block, at least. But, I really needed to find it since the motorcycle was not mine but that of my friend! I remembered what looked like the motorcycle and had a picture of its number plate on my phone. It was a red YAMAHA motorcycle. However, most motorcycles there were red or black. I went back and forth to find my friend's motorcycle. It was extremely hot and humid. I knew terrible humidity in Tokyo. But, that in Hanoi was harsher since the air temperature was higher!

Hanoi Story(1)

This is one of my travel stories. I should warn you that this is too long writing! a long entry.

I visited Hanoi, Vietnam in the beginning of May this year.

I stayed at my friend's place. His place was a bit far from the Hanoi downtown. It took around 30 minutes by a taxi.

I spent a weekend with him. He took me to many places by on his motorcycle.

On weekdays of course, he needed to work. So, I borrowed his motorcycle during his working time work hours. I could not only saved money for a taxi but also experienced traveling like local Vietnamese people since most of them moved by motorcycle.

That One day I was heading by rode the motorcycle for to a stamp store near the downtown since I wanted to make a special stamp as a souvenir for my daughter.

However, I couldn't get there easily. The stamp store was located in a pretty complicated area for a tourist or a stranger.

Since the google map on my phone indicated that I was a bit close area in close proximity to the store, I stopped the motorcycle on the sidewalk and decided to leave the motorcycle for a while. I thought I just needed to find the store and could come back soon.

However, the store was quite far more farther than I had expected. After I got lost, I simply followed the google map on my phone and somehow arrived at the store.

So I started to return to the place where I left the motorcycle but, I got lost again. Then, I was confused.

It was quite hard to find that one motorcycle since there were so many other motorcycles. There were more than 100 motorcycles on a block, at least. but, I really needed to find it since the motorcycle was not mine but that of my friend!

I remembered what looked like the motorcycle the motorcycle looked like and had a picture of its plate number on my phone. It was a red YAMAHA motorcycle. However, most motorcycles there were red or black.

I went back and forth trying to find my friend's motorcycle. It was extremely hot and humid. I knew terrible humidity in Tokyo, but that in Hanoi was harsher since the air temperature was higher!

Your experience showed the picture when i was in Thailand. it's really hard to find the motorcycle which I rent. But it's a great memory in my life. I‘d love to travel there again in the future if i have chance.
