Hanoi - Vietnam

Hanoi is a hectic collage of sights, sounds and smells.  Sit in a Vietnamese junk (boat) on silk couches and drink green tea or local beer as you cruise into the mist of the large bay with about 2,000 limestone islands that make up a spectacular natural UNESCO World Heritage site.  The 1,000-year-old City of Lakes is a haven for foodies and history buffs alike.
