1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission ..#1

- Streets of Old Quarters, Hanoi, Vietnam

(In the cool months, these Hanoi streets are crazy hectic but uniquely caught in a time-warp, with lots to buy with your millions of dongs!

#Note - This "1001 Places/Experiences Series" will begin to chart my journeys and experiences for the next 20years for us, 'the regular cancer-survivors', partly inspired by the "100 Places to See Before You Die" TV series and book, because the best revenge on cancer is to fight back successfully, play hard and show how much more life still has in store for us!)

Hanoi and Halong Bay - "Heaven & Earth"

The raw beauty of Hanoi and Halong Bay is simply captivating!
Perhaps it's the cool weather that surprised me. Or perhaps it's the old beauty of hectic Hanoi ("beep-beep!") coupled with the handsome, awesome islets of Halong Bay..

But whatever it was, the combination of Hanoi and Halong was a clear winner for me. I am beginning to learn that my short getaways to world-class beauties like this one at Halong Bay and last year at Angkor Wat have more meaning to me, carving out outstanding meories along the way.



What a way for me to start my own "1000 Places to See/Experience After Remission!", taking inspiration from the travel series-cum-book, "1000 Places to See Before You Die".

And Hanoi and Halong Bay are indeed the first 2 of my own 1000 Places!
