Translation of dimmer in German

We bought a Sandwich and were looking for a taxi, but the streets were so crowded that we had to wait nearly one hour to find a cab. We even had to walk a few blocks in order to catch one.
On the first day in Hanoi, we wanted to explore the town. It was the former capital of the North and today it is the capital of the entire country. There are tons of monuments and governmental buildings.
Than we took a cab to the actual border crossing. In the cab we took gave a ride to another tourist and with some scary Peruvian guy, who had a bag full of faked CDs. He didn't seem too nice and had many scarves.
