Plane ride to Hanoi was nice, just 2 hours and got a nice meal on the plane. Getting from airport to the train station was not that easy though :) First we went to the wrong train station - travel guide said that tickets can be purchased at any train station (or that is what i understood) but it was not so. On our way to the other train station we took the wrong bus - or perhaps a correct bus but just to wrong direction, no idea, we had to get off and transfer to another one. Exchanging the buses meant walking long distances in heat with our bags and crossing heavy traffic roads like locals - meaning that you just start walking across and hope not to get hit by all the rollers :D
We were lucky that we had about 10 hours to spend so we did not have to worry about travelling through the whole city of Hanoi before getting to the train station :) Finally we made it though :) Then got train tickets to Sapa for tonight and now we are sitting at a nice cafe having some cocktails and posting entries (this cafe has wireless!!!)

How do you manage to find all these nice wireless places. Are they abundant or do you have a 6th sense that picks up WIFI vibes? :)
well now i don't anymore :( In the beginning it was simple:
Beijing - our hotel had free wireless
Qingdao - can't remember, but somehow we got to internet there too
Tai'an - went to internet cafe which was so cheap, spent 2-3 hours there :) also one cafe/restaurant had internet accidentally for couple of hours and we happened to find it :) Later there was no connection
Shanghai - there was internet at the hostel, it was expensive, but it was quick and nice
Hangzhou - there was free wireless at the hostel
and from then on it has been a disaster, like now there is free wireless, but for some reason the photos upload does not go through :( blah
