  • One thing you will notice the very first day in Hanoi is people do not pay any attention to pedestrians. So, you have to follow some very simple rules if you even hope to cross a street. First, be aggressive. There is always someone on a motorcycle in front of you and you just have to get out in the street and stake your claim. Second, do not stop. This only confuses the drivers. They are quite adept at weaving around pedestrians if you keep walking at an even pace. I rarely saw any accidents so don’t sweat it too much.

     I enjoyed reading your stream of fondest memories. If I ever get to Hanoi, I'll be a bit more wary, but won't make an ass of myself!

     What informative, honest, well-written tips. I'm sure they'll be of great help to me. I'm going to read on (i've skipped nightlife and restaurants) before I set off to Vietnam in February

     Richie, your great Vietnam tips will definately be followed up next week - I can hardly wait! Thanks!

     Yes, pho is the greatest! I don't think that Ho Chi Minh Museum even existed when I was there in 1995, but I did go to his stilt house and mausoleum. Also I rented a bicycle and rode all around for several days (and survived to tell the tale, obviously).
