Day 21: Hanoi, Vietnam Part 1
I actually slept better on the train than in my previous hostel. Having been the only westerner on the entire platform for my journey from Saigon to Danang, there seemed to be mostly tourists going from Hue to Hanoi. I ended up sharing my carriage with a Swiss couple and an unfortunate local who had to overhear us talking without understanding a word we were saying. This train was a little bit more rustic that my previous one, but what it gained in squat toilets it lost in number of cockroaches, so it isn’t all bad. Using a squat toilet on a Vietnamese train is a true life experience. I spent much of the journey trying to plan for the impending Trans Siberian tour that begins in less than a month and the Swiss couple were pretty interested in this and it was nice to have somebody in the carriage to talk to.
