Meter maids

Don't fuck with 'em in Vietnam.

War trophies at the Army Museum

Museums are very interactive in Vietnam- if touching isn't encouraged,
it's sure not discouraged. We kept our grubby fingers off the
paintings at the fine arts museum, though.

Hanoi Tomorrow

Airline chaos is my only worry. Will my backpack still have straps
when it arrives at the luggage claim in Vietnam? Will United charge
us for checked bags, even though they're only flying us 1 leg of our 3
leg journey? Will we have to check in again through security again in
DC, even though we only have a 2 hour layover?

I'm no so much worried about traveling in a country where I don't know
anyone and don't speak the language. It's unfortunate that airline
customer service and security and the like have gotten so bad that my
perception is that the flight will be scarier than the rest of the trip.

I hope I remembered to pack socks.
