Pink Buses, Brides And A Disco Taxi

One of the best parts about living overseas is making great friends. When friends come to visit it is great showing them around and sharing your experiences and creating fond memories.
"The Steer Family", Jillian, Shane, Abbey and Taylah are some of the friends who we met when we where living in Mongolia who now are back in Australia.
Walking through the old quarter is a must when coming to Hanoi, the sights, the sounds and the shopping is something that goes hand in hand. Fitting is some culture is easy with a stop at the Museum of Ethnology and catching a show at the Water Puppets.
I think the dodging the pink buses, seeing the brides and our disco taxi driver on a trip back from the city will be something that we will all remember from the Steers visit to Hanoi. It was such a treat for us to catch up with them all, I wonder what part of the world we will be catching up again next time , only time will tell.........................................
