I learned my lesson from last week. No more early flights. Getting up at 4AM is too difficult. I am not in a rush. I might as well take a later flight where I can, in order to get a good night's sleep the night before.

So here we are. Finally on the 3 week long tour of Vietnam. I am flying into Hanoi and exploring all the major cities and tourist spots in January 2026. I will get to experience the coldest part (northern mountains) in their winter and travel southward on bus, train, limo, sleeper bus, cruise ship, canoe, and many other variations of local transport. I expect to see many new and exciting things, experience new foods, and meet new people.

PS. I tried to take pictures of all my meals and the rooms I stayed in. Although I might have missed some, please enjoy.
