The latter pictures do look very similar to Hanoi. Macau looks like a nice place to visit. I sometimes wish Japan were a little closer to the rest of Asia for traveling purposes.

thanks, I'll check it out. I agree about Japan, the flight is just a little long and expensive to Tokyo. I've been a few times and enjoyed it, I'd like to go more often. My wife speaks fluent Japanese and recently started a job managing Japanese accounts, so I may have a reason to go again soon :-)
When I first came here I thought I'd be able to go to China so easily, but it hasn't worked out. There are a lot of reasonable tours to Taiwan from here but the mainland is a little expensive, like you said, and getting a visa is a little complicated. I don't live near an embassy, so it involves a lot of extra travel just for that.
It sounds like you might have a good excuse for visiting Japan in the future. Nice!
