Best travel ever to Ha noi!

This was my best travel ever, mainly because I got to know a new country and culture and very nice people. The country is very beautiful and I travelled around it a bit. I also lived with a very nice vietnamese family in the buzzle of Na noi. The city has still its old charm and the real feel of the city hasn´t been destroyed. The traffic is terrible, at least if you come from Finland. Just crossing the street was like doing a trip to the djungle, but you cross the street one bike at a time. Food is fantastic. And of course one has to travel vietnamese style with bike taxis :)

I worked with a NGO that gave education to youth with difficult background and it required studies at uni. My job was to observe the NGO and come with recommendations for improvements and develop its activities according to western standards. I really felt that I contributed to the NGO and that they liked the advices I gave them. I also tought english to students, attended events to raise awareness of the NGO:s activities, wrote communication material and did research about handicapped peoples possibilities to get work. If you want to get hands-on job experience in a developing country, this is the place.
