Arround the City: Visit one of the food markets!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Seeing the sights and sounds of a Vietnamese market is an experience for sure! You will recognize many items -- but not others. And the fish are incredible! Here we have some of the peppers that give Viernamese cuisine it's fire:)

    Cultural Tips: Take a cooking class!
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Favorite Thing: This is Chef Mai at Sofitel Metropole Hanoi. The class I took was a demonstration class, unlike the "hands on" one I did in Bangkok.

    Arround the City: Ride a cyclo!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: It takes some skill in getting in and out in order not to make life difficult for the cycler. It was a lot of fun except in the Hanoi traffic circles which were scary places !!

     Another cooking class, and this time in Hanoi too! Well, I'll be there in Dec so this sounds very tempting. Was it expensive?
