Bac Giang

On Sunday, the group left Hanoi for Bac Giang, a city in a province to the North of Hanoi, also named Bac Giang. Again, we used Hanoi's public bus system, which already brought us from the airport to Hanoi or got us aroung the city during our explorations. Using the bus can be very crowded but it is the cheapest means of transportation: The 2 hours bus drive to Bac Giang only cost us 19.000 VND per person (1 dollar).
Once arrived in Bac Giang, we could clearly see the difference between the more rural city and the metropole Hanoi.

The journey begins!

After nearly a year of organising and fundraising, all project members finally arrived in Hanoi. Except for two members, this is their first visit and the first few days were much needed to adapt to the extreme temperatures (39" C during midday). We also used the time for cultural explorations.
