Photo day 2

The next day we met up at "Flag pole" Highland coffee (well, don't know the real english name of that thing). The coffee place sat in the court yard of some war museum next to a huge brick flag pole that looks like a light house and you can go up to the top. Afterward, we went across the street to Lenin park where there's a big statue of Lenin standing proudly. Well... we just hung out there, tried to ride Mr.Tru*'s crappy dirty bike.

Hang and I on my bike (motor scooter). We hate wearing helmet.

This is our table at the coffee place. My most favorite thing to do is to explore hidden or unique coffee shop.

This is a bigger view of the place. Hanoi is so small and everybody seems to know each other. I met that pink shirt guy the night before when he looked at me and said "you went to Giang Vo junior high". Apparently he did too but I don't remember him at all. The brown shirt guy i met right there for the first time. He looked at me and said "Are you Hin?" I was like, oh my god how did you know my name. He said "you and Xuan Hai used to hang out a lot a few years ago, right? I went to high school with him." ...... Wow! Hold on a minute, i've never seen you before, and Hai has never mentioned you before. Turns out, that guy and my friend were not close friends, but that guy hung out with my friend's ex who knows me and things got complicated.... blah blah blah. So crazy.
