Impressions of a new chapter

Xin chào everyone!

Here are some pictures from my visa-travel time in Laos and Vietnam in November, and finally from my return to Hanoi...

Buddhist temple in the Old Quarter, Hanoi

A chaos that works...somehow, in mysterious ways...

Street life, Hanoi

Night life, Vientiane:)

World Peace Gong, Vientiane

Patuxai, Vientiane

Street artist, Vientiane

One of the many buddhist temples in the center of Vientiane. I took off my shoes, went inside, sat down for while and was amused by the way the spiritual atmosphere in this holy place was nicely interrupted by the squeaky sound of this little girl's shoes and her shy voice when she tested the microphone that the monks use for their singing ceremonies...

Wat Si Saket and thousands of Buddhas

no comment :)

Elm and me - tired but happy, a few hours before i crossed the China-Vietnam border a second time and left China for good, Kunming

...and so the Hanoi chapter began. Sunset over the Westlake.

My new flatmate friend and great, but partly incredibly annoying companion: "the cat"
 (He still needs a proper name, I didn't like "Ta gueule" that much...) :) 

So far a few impressions from my time in Laos and Vietnam...Soon more, i guess. :)

Bisous and sunny wishes from my terrace in Hanoi! The sun is just about to set and spreads over the city like a warm, shining blanket...feels good!
