I don’t ride my motorbike much anymore, I guess I just drive Thuy’s on the way home from work. Besides it’s a 6 min walk, and since I don’t really go anywhere, coupled with Saigon trips, I have gone for 3-4 weeks at a time without riding my bike.
Tonight, though, I got a good ride out of my bike, going all the way to Giang Vo to eat at a place called Hot Rock (117 Giang Vo) to have dinner with Jimmy. It’s a new joint, right next to Pepperoni’s, not sure when it came up, but there’s 2, one right across from the other. It’s a maybe-western style of place, definitely looks nice (for VN) for a restaurant. Food isn’t too bad, but even though they have LCD screens to monitor orders, they missed out on 3 of our items.
Sloppy.
But I’d try it again. Ended up being $11/person for Australian beef, a couple of beers, salad, garlic bread, chicken with tomato sauce, and pizza mini-bagels.
On the way home, stopped by Jimmy’s to play Ghost Squad for the Wii- an hr of fun, and that’s probably it for me for the next year.
The weather in Hanoi right is super cold. On the ride home, wind chill really kicks you in the butt. The air can get in anywhere when you’re riding, so not good to wear loose clothing. I wear a jacket, a shirt, and thermals (pants and shirt), but it’s definitely not enough. Did a wind chill factor test to see how cold it really was riding home. (see picture, click to estimate your own)
0 Degrees C.
32 Degrees F.
Freezing! And I don’t even have gloves for my hands, and they definitely feel the bite.
It’s super rainy right now too, will probably last all week. Nothing like 40 degree water hitting you in the face at 35 mph.
