I know you were promised Hanoi but after making that promise I remembered that our original Saigon post lacked photos..thus, I now remedy that.

The thing about travel that makes photography fun is that you never really know what you will come across. For instance, in Saigon we stopped by the War Museum and came across quite a bit old military gear left behind..

While I won’t get into the museum itself as I don’t think I need to recount the effects of agent orange on the various body parts kept in jars (yeah…gross) the machinery was something I’ve never really had the opportunity to capture on film (? not really film as I shoot digital)

Though we walked the city, that’s not to say there weren’t all sorts of interested modes of travel available..

Or shopping options..

You’ll note there is a bike under there.

Although I wasn’t the biggest fan of southern Vietnam, I will say that its tropical weather was complemented by a lot of color around the city.

(I like the Tongue)

And finally, a sweaty Thomas in a cafe we stopped in to watch some football (er…soccer) and have a coke (no bottled water available and well..tap water would be a BIG mistake).

Hanoi Day One will be posted tomorrow..
