Hanoi's Unique Charm


happened on Nov. 23-26, 2016


The least that I expected for this trip is to fall in love with Hanoi but I did and I think it will be a long lasting feeling.

When I visited Ho Chi Mhin (Saigon) last March, I was disappointed with it.  I found it to be dirty, cramped and with rude people.  Even our tour guide is so rude and disrespectful to the clients.  Added to it, the scorching hot weather.  We were also ripped off by a taxi driver.  So I thought to myself that once is enough for that place no matter how I love their Notre Dame Church.

motorcycles are their main means of transportation

Hanoi is different.  It is not clean and organized compared to Singapore, nor as beautiful as other parts of the world, but it has its own unique charm.
