• Sloshed Snake Village: Episode Twenty

  Vietnam

  What a Night!!

  
  

  Snake Village is actually a street of restaurants in Hanoi all serving, you guessed it, Snake.  They farm the snakes to make snake wine and food at the restaurant.  As you can see from the video, you also have the option of killing the snake you will consume, swallowing its beating heart and taking two shots, one of its bile and one of its blood!!  Jaime you are one HardCore dude!!!

  Shooting could not continue during our transport to the bars or at the bars, for that matter, due to our extreme drunken states!!!  Damn you Snake Village!!!  Drink safely and responsibly…so you can remember your night!!

• Hectic Hanoi: Episode Nineteen

  Vietnam

  Motos, motos Everywhere!!

  
  

  Watch your step or you might get taken out!! Welcome to Hanoi, Vietnam.

  It is still very much a third world city.  There is not much to do in the sense of tourist attractions.  The attraction is the city itself.  We spent a full day roaming around and seeing what we could find!!  Motos, street vendors, street side restaurants, shops stuffed to the gills with anything and Everything imaginable and local produce markets make up the streets of this hustle and bustle city!!  Not without character, the architecture of Hanoi had a hint of French chic with the wear and tear of gritty Vietnamese life!!

  The food in Hanoi was to die for!! Whether you wanted pizza, Italian, Pho or straight up street food you always had a tasty option within steps!!  Honestly though, don’t let the fear of “the runs” hold you back from exploring the epicness of Vietnamese cuisine local style.  Trust us, you won’t regret it!!

  Lots of travelers hit up Hanoi enroute to Halong Bay, Sapa and anywhere south!!! Great nightlife and party vibe!!!

  Don’t pass up Hanoi because there is “nothing” there!!
