Ninh Binhe has a pace of a large country town, it was a welcome respite for us to escape the bustle of Hanoi. Apart from the scrum of guest house owners greeting the bus, and the charming chorus of "Hello" from the local children, we had our peace and quiet in the streets and the area.
The surrounding countryside is Georges confirming all the postcards fantasies of what Vietnam has to offer, water Buffalos, golden green rice paddies, majestic limestone formations and more.
As usual, whenever there is a chance we rent a motorbike and start to explore the countryside like we did here. The scenery was very impressive, the communication with the local was satisfying, and it was an experience we will not forget for a long long time.
In Ninh Binh area it was our first time to see the process of rice making, from the fields to the product itself how we know it.
We have some problems to upload photos since it turn out that Vietnam Internet Cafes have no DVD Roms, so meanwhile we are uploading movies to our library since in China we couldn't do so ("youtube" site is being consistently blocked over there).
We ran at the same problem here like in China, No DVD burners all over, and rarely CD burners we could find. It is worth to mention the guy who did have a DVD burner, we found him by coincident after a several hours of searching, we were so happy since we ran out of space in our memory cards, it really surprised us this guy didn't charge us for the use of burning at all (it is very rare here in this part of the world).
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
