Wanderlust

I must admit that travelling isn't exactly my priority in life. But once in a while, my wanderlust hit me and I go travelling. 

I still remember the days when I was in Alevels and all I wanted to do at that moment was to take a train to nowhere.

In the sense of traveling, that hasn't changed. I enjoy just setting out and going somewhere. Where? I don't really know or care sometimes. But it would be good if the place is foreign. As in, a culture or a land I know pretty much nothing about.

Anyway, my wanderlust hit me and I ended up in Hanoi. 

Honestly, I fell in love with that charming city. 

I love the hustle and bustle. The constant stream of people and noises.
The narrow streets. 

Maybe it's because I was born and bred in the city. But I have always enjoyed the city and its busy streets.

There's a pulse about cities. And every city's pulse is different.

And what makes a city alive is always its people. 

Same earth. Different lives. Different cities. Different cultures. 

But despite the language barrier and cultural differences, I find that as humans, we are all pretty much the same in a way. 
And although I couldn't really speak Vietnamese, I find that body language, smiles and kindness goes a long way and that we can speak through that instead.

I would very much love to return here one day again. To see its people again and just soak in their charming city pulse.
