Hanoi is the place to be in Vietnam. As soon as you get there, you'll be fascinated by the hustling and bustling that awaits you in every corner of the city. You'll find hectic markets where everything from pork feet to the freshest and tastiest fruit can be purchased. You'll see millions of motobikes zigzagging through the overcrowded roads that are liable to collapse every second. You'll find faithful Buddhists praying in tranquil pagodas and temples. And inbetween everything, tourists are fearfully standing on the sidewalk, wondering how anyone can be able to cross a road without being overrun by the traffic...
It's a wonderful place and after having worked there for 6 months , I'm yearning for the day to finally come back there. |
|  | A rather good map of Hanoi is found here. Having stayed in Hanoi for so long, I believe I can be helpful if you have rather untouristy questions... Feel free to send me a mail. |

Great page; I especially enjoyed your off-the-beaten path tips. I hope to see some of these villages during my trip next month. And Halong Bay - yes, it sounds like a paradise. | Aafia Sun Jul 29, 2007 23:44 UTC
Thanks for the visit. Let me know if you have any questions about your upcoming trip to N.S. I enjoyed your Hanoi pages, photos and tips. I would love to go some day, if only to Halong Bay and those caves! So many places... | haiamisa Sat Jul 21, 2007 06:45 UTC
It seems like 'Hot Dog' is the real thing here... | Luchonda Sat May 26, 2007 21:32 UTC
Thx for the interesting tips. Might be my next trip, with or without driving a Honda. |
