  • Take note of subleties when you're visiting temples in the Perfume Pagoda Region. Some of them require you to remove your footware.

  • If you do venture out of Hanoi, you'll notice that the locals drink rice wine neat and direct from the fermentation jar via a bamboo straw. Take note that this is a male thing (sigh! ) as village women are NOT allowed to suck on the joy juice or enjoy the privilege of getting high on alcohol.

     The dish costs 100.000 dong today. So it is definitely a lot cheaper than mentioned in this article.

     What an interesting and fun page, Glen. I had a blast looking it all over. I think Vietnam is a place we want to go someday.
