Nanning - The Green City Of China

---

Hi again!!

I finaly sat down to actualy write some of the entries now. So There will be a few!

We arrived in Nanning by plane, it was a rather small airport 40 minutes outside the city. We went outside to find a bus or taxi. Again we had som trouble commuicating with the locals. But we met a guy who translated for us and got a cab which drove us in to the city and pointed frantictly in through some trees. We searched the area for half an hour until we met someone who actualy knew where the hostel was.
The Nanning City Hoste is more a guesthouse, realy cool. It is owned by an american called Weston, who is very helpfull and a cool guy. It is a "small" town. Only about 2 million. But still a relaxing atmosphere, with loads of green areas around the city center. A bunch of pubs and good resturants in the area around the hostel wich are realy good. If you want to party you should go to Soho Bar. It is a funny nightclub with some weird entertainment.

We stayed in Nanning for 3 days before we took the bus to Hanoi. It costs about 15 dollars from Nanning to Hanoi. You change a bus at the border, and both of the busses are in rather good standard! A good option for traveling.
The trafic situation in vietnam is chaotic!! They hold their hands on the horn at any time all the time!
