Hanoi
Safely in Hanoi! Only 16 degrees. Yay! We can handle this. More in the morning.
Today started off touring Hanoi Bible College. In 1975 there were only 3 churches in all of Vietnam, one of which is associated with this college. Very formal atmosphere here. Today there is about 1000 churches in Vietnam and about 500 pastors. Most pastors are self taught so there is a huge need for formal training.
We had an authentic Vietnamese lunch. Then toured a dormitory and then John and I walked the streets of Hanoi. This city is nuts times 2. You take your life in your hand crossing the street. It's pretty dirty and a city of scooters and men sitting on kiddie chairs smoking and eating. Sidewalks might be for walking if they are not parking for scooters or a vendor stall.
Trump and Kim are coming tomorrow so some of the city is being made pretty with flowers.
tomorrow--further adventures in Hanoi.
