Arriving in Hanoi on March 23rd, Emanuel and Fabian indulged in a few days of exploration here, while also purchasing two Honda Win motorcycles to serve as their trusty steeds for the exciting journey ahead. Originally planning to venture into the northern mountainous provinces before heading south, the relentless three-day downpour prompted the duo to embark straight from Hanoi towards the southern region, filled with regretful hearts.

Emanuel and Fabian didn't adhere to a specific itinerary, preferring instead to stop and explore wherever their hearts desired, as long as they reached Saigon within four weeks and avoided overly crowded tourist spots. Their list of footprints includes Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Vinh (Nghe An), Phong Nha (Quang Binh), Hue, Danang, Hoi An, Phu Yen, Nha Trang, Dalat, Saigon, and numerous other places they couldn't recall. Among these, Hanoi, Hue, Danang, and particularly Pongour Waterfall (located 50 kilometers south of Dalat) left them more enchanted than ever.

However, what struck Emanuel the most about the S-shaped land was its people. 'It's hard to explain, but the demeanor of the majority of Vietnamese people is truly remarkable. We've encountered many peers, and it's genuinely easy to forge friendships quickly. I'll definitely revisit Vietnam to catch up with some of them,' the young editor expressed candidly.

During their journey, the two European adventurers encountered their fair share of challenges. While most of the food suited their palates, Fabian experienced some digestive issues in the initial days. Additionally, the two motorcycles frequently encountered minor malfunctions—a common occurrence with Honda Wins. Emanuel and Fabian had to seek out mechanics several times, seizing the opportunity to learn from them in order to handle future breakdowns on their own. As for language barriers, when unable to communicate in English or French, the two 90s-born lads relied on automatic translation apps or drawings to convey their messages.

Fabian once enthusiastically shared on his personal page: 'Visa: $80. Honda Win: $250. Motorcycling adventure across Vietnam: priceless.'
