Moving on from the Philippines I have a few days of meetings in Hanoi to attend to. The hotel (Melia) is a nice older hotel with good facilities. Best of all was that they checked me into a room on the 22nd floor so this was the view from my window this morning.
I have not been to Hanoi for about 10 years but I have noticed a lot of change – there are more cars and less bikes, for example, on the roads. The old French colonial architectural styles have been kept in many places and there are a thousand places to eat on each block.
We settled in last night to beer at four bars followed by a late supper – all within one block of the hotel.
Last night’s Hanoi induced sleep was the best I have had in the past month.

Hi.
Hi Muny – long time no see. I hope to get to Korea sometime in the future.
