We arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam on the night of July 6, 2017.  We was really excited, and still am, about spending 2 months volunteering in Vietnam.

The food is awesome, the people are friendly, and the cost of living is cheap. I live in the Mercury House with 4 other . The house is located in the suburbs of Hanoi, approximately 4 miles away from the city center. 

 All stores and restaurants are small local businesses and the winding streets and alleys are ruled by motorbikes, mopeds, and bicycles that weave around cars and pedestrians. Traffic laws are nonexistent and traffic lights are more like suggestions than requirements: “you should stop at this red light, but you don’t have to.” Street sellers and street fires (campfire style) are common place along with karaoke bars and restaurants that sell dog meat. The overall feel of this place is tough and gritty, which is awesome.
