Have been playing around with google maps (OK, looking at stuff in Auckland) and decided to have a look at Hanoi. They've finally put the street names on! when I was looking for a place to stay just before I came out here there were no street names so I had no idea where I would be doing my CELTA course but now there are street names so you can see where I live!

A map of Hanoi I live in a lane just off of Doi Can. If you draw a line up from the letter H (VIKI Weddings!!) and one across from the swimming pool you can just about make out a little to the right above the H my house is about the point where they meet! As you can see its a fairly densely packed city. I also had a look at what comes up in google images for Doi Can - on the first row there is a pic of the horrible traffic on Doi Can in this article This is why I try my hardest not to by tackling Doi Can in rush hour!
