Vietnam, 2010

[lunchwithmerv]

Went on a week long holiday with a couple of friends to Hanoi. Most of our time spent there was trekking in Sapa, a day in Ha Long Bay and 2 days in Hanoi. I must say the weather was rather pleasing as opposed to Singapore.

In fact I think i saw Gary(Royale With Cheese) once at Hanoi and he was at the opposite street and there was just too many people/vehicles to get across to say hi :/

A pity i only had with me 5 rolls of trix and i just couldn't find any shops selling bnw films in hanoi! First time going out on a full film set up with a Leica M2+Canon 50/1.4 LTM(bnw) and a LC-A+ (loaded with colour)

Ha Long Bay
