Part 2/10:
The morning sun coaxed me awake, and I was in for a treat as breakfast was included at my hotel. It quickly became evident that this was not just any breakfast; it was a feast, offering an impressive variety. My go-to dish was a steaming bowl of pho, an iconic Vietnamese noodle soup, which I relished almost daily.
With a full belly, I set out to explore the Old Quarter. One of the most immediate challenges I faced was learning how to navigate the chaotic streets—crossing them was no simple task as motorbikes zipped by without a pause. Observing the locals, I learned the trick: move steadily and without sudden movements. It was a fascinating experience witnessing the ballet of traffic unfold around me.
