Well..having travelled to Hanoi and made it one piece we were hoping to get into a half decent guest house...but still pretty cheap. The first one didn't have any rooms and sent us round the corner to another, which after a long day, we couldn't be arsed to be sniffy about. So we got to our room and were welcomed by smelly carpet, a window that didn't close (so noisy fighting and mopeds all night), a fridge that was always empty and doors that didn't exactly lock very safely. This shit hole was enough to have Lynsey in a pretty jumpy state and the one (and only) night, we....sorry i mean i, was awoken'ed by Lynsey shaking me and turning the lights on as she was convinced someone was outside the door...just loitering..? In the end booby traps were required.. and so we put a chair against the door and balanced glass' on the edge of that. This I thought would be perfect and would calm Lynsey down and let me get at least an ounce of sleep....

Didn't happen....glass fell off the chair....Lynsey jumped first (no surprise there) and then i sort of became alert and realised 'summit was up'! A unanimous "What the fuck was that" and "fuck me, the glass has fallen" and "Quick check the door".....doesn't sound it now, but it was pretty funny and for a moment i thought "We've caught the em"..but turns out it was the vibrations from the nearby train track, which incidentally felt like it was running past our bedposts.
