Has Hanoi has changed much in the last 8 years??

Well let me answer that.
Of course it has, I know Hanoi has changed allot in the last 10 years or so because I have just finished reading The House On Dream Street and am currently reading Hanoi Stories and both of these women talk about all the changes in Hanoi through the years. So where is this leading you may wonder???
Well I have been checking my mail daily waiting for the Lonely Planet Hanoi travel book that I purchased from amazon to arrive so we could start getting ideas about what we want to do, where we want to eat etc....well a word of advice from wise old Tamara, read the fine print! the book I purchased is from 1999, 1st edition! it appears to have come from a public library and it is so old they had a discard sticker on it. Tell me people what good is a freakin travel book from 1999 going to do me? well, just gotta laugh I guess.
going once, going twice, it's yours! you want it? all I need is your address and it is in the mail tomorrow.

Ok, so I'm checking your blog about 5 times/day for a referral!!! Have you heard anything yet?? I hope it's soon. I love the book story too! Yay for summers off...this is the first in about 10 years that I won't be working! I've always had summer jobs in college and then I have worked summer school for the past few years! Can't wait to experience the full summer off!
