Unless like my Tour De Ha Tay brutal 90 KM bicycle ride from Hanoi to the Ha Tay province, I decided with my friend Minh Nguyet that we will take my super duper Nouvo Motorbike and venture the area I discovered a week before.
Leaving Hanoi at 4:00 PM and arriving at the small town in time to watch the sun go down, we have encountered many locals who were eager to say "hello" and "Good-Bye" while we drove through the countryside.
My favorite photo of this trip was the older women who was busy trying to water her rice field using a home made tripod - like scooper in which she was swinging back and forth bringing water from the nearby creek into her rice patty. It was quite a show to watch and Minh Nguyet dared me to try it!
Arriving back into Hanoi, we almost got lost since it was pitch black outside. We had to stop and ask some beer drinking and smoke puffers some directions to where to go back to Hanoi. I have to admit the directions were pretty clear and we arrived back home safe and sound.
