| | We had early lunch. Went to a shop which served Banh Cuon cha Ca (Grilled fish with vermicelli). Originally we wanted to go to Cha Ca La Vong, which is the oldest restaurant in Hanoi but unfortunately it was closed over Tet and only reopened on 5th Feb. This is where we tried the cincalok tasting sauce. |
Masks on sale| | Popped over to Dong Xuan market where I bought the deadly dried ginger which gave me a severe diarrhoea. Here you can get a lot of cheap souvenirs but it’s not a comfortable environment to shop in. This is where we did all the last minute shopping. |

very interesting Hanoi holiday and ur photos are great. did u do the tour on your own or an arangement made via a local tour agent. i am interested to go there for a vacation too. do let me know. TQ.
oh we bought a local tour over there. it's easier to get a tourguide because most Vietnamese are unable to speak English except in the city centre.ALso don't bother getting tours from Malaysia because it's a total rip off - they tell you 4D 3N but actually it's only 2 days of touring and 2 days of travelling!
>c-cube: you're in Bkt Aman pacesetters is it?
I usually run at Lembah Kiara Pacesetters on weekdays where Francis Toh take charge. I will do my long runs on Sat starting fr Bkt Aman.
BTW, can you advise how can I make arrangemnet w the local tour in Hanoi. Do u need to pre-book them b4 you leave for Hanoi, or u only book them when you arrived.
i guess you can also book the tour over there but of course then that's a risk you take. i went during CNY so i had to pre-book here coz they also celebrate CNY there. The Vietnamese co which i booked through was New Orient and I did it through PST travel here. Let me get the contacts and let you know.
cool, if possible drop me an email at cchoi_2020@yahoo.com
