Nice to discover your blog. I have just started one about Hanoi – primarily photographs, food, and a dog… mostly because I was told Hanoi wasn’t suitable for a dog and I wanted to show that this isn’t necessarily the case! I look forward to reading yours. Mine is: http://juraphotos.wordpress.com/

Great blog, “Our Man In Hanoi” is the encyclopedia of Vietnam, a must have.

I stumbled upon your blog when googling Thomas Crampton. You’re working at KOTO? I know Mr Hung from KOTO Saigon! What sort of PR work you’ve done? Sound interesting I’m working at Ogilvy PR in HCMC.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the extremely entertaining blog. I’m sitting here on Sunday morning in Manchester, UK, nursing a hangover and a coffee. I’m moving out to Hanoi in early August to take up a teaching post. I’m incredibly excited! Like you, I have a background in journalism but have now switched to ESL teaching. This will be my first job teaching. Your blog is allowing me to research and to think about Hanoi before arriving – and for this I am extremely grateful! Thanks so much and keep it up.

Mr, I look forward to reading your Hanoi blogs. I am intrigued by the fact you have lived here before, went away and decided to return. Will you still like Hanoi as you did before you left and as you do now at the initial point of return. I am not a prolific writer but i do set up a blog to keep my loved ones posted with my movements here. If you email me, I will send you my blog’s name. Best wishes.

Nice to meet you, I’m from Hanoi but now I’m studying in Sunderland, yeah, near Newcastle Upon Tyne. When I see your pictures, I miss my hometown so much. Enjoy and discover hidden beauty of Hanoi

Steve,

This is wonderful. I know how much you love that country and I look forward to seeing more pictures from you. Enjoy the country and hopefully one of these days, our paths will cross again.

read your comments with great interest re: hanoi
we (wife+me)-went on a group trip to vietnam last year-from australia
from here the trips emphasise the south-but we thought that the trip spent too little time up north-esp. in hanoi-so we extended it accordingly-and without doubt thought it was the best part of the trip
only part -i’d go back to

Steve,
So jealous that you’re back to stay. I returned for the summer and spend three months traipsing between my job in Thanh Hoa and the weekends in Hanoi. Man, I miss it. Soon enough my kids will be grown and I can stay longer than a few months at a time.

Enjoy and I’ll keep reading. I can’t believe they drained Lenin Park.
