Day life in Hanoi..



As Days Begins in the heart of Hanoi City, we can hear LOTs of motorbike cramping out the streets.

I've been staying in a hotel named as Binh Minh Hotel, well It's nothing special about this hotel than any other hotel that we used to have in Malaysia, but Binh Minh is consider one of the business hotel around here so, everyday we see business men and women walking up and down the corridor of Binh Minh to work and also to held conference in one of this hotel conference room.

The streets name of Hanoi is very short, the streets of Binh Minh Hotel is named Ly Thai To, and it's number 27, so when pronounce it in Vietnamese, it's called as Hai Bai Ly Thai To.

The taxi, comes with different types and sized, from cheap to expansive, there're Daewoo types of taxi, Toyota Vios, Toyota Innova, and also Camry (used as airport Limo) The charges for each texi are from 9k to 15k, for starting and the meter will tick after 1KM, it's way more better than we can those in Malaysia.

Vietnam specialties are their coffee and also their drinks, in terms of fruit juice, it's very concentrated and for the coffee, it's very pure. The taste of it is better than what we get in Gloria Jeans. The food wise, I've not tested much of it and just normal food that I eat everyday in Malaysia.

The Fun Part of Hanoi here is the streets are always pack with Motorbike and cars and the buildings are usually 3 to 5 stories high and each shop is very small with the size of 4x4. It's really Square... Having Lunch and Dinner, we have to climb stairs before sitting down to enjoy the food.

There's a Streets name is called as Hang Gai, and to me it's more like Hang Kai.. where there're lots of foreigners shopping there and it's consider a pirated goods haven.. We can get CD's, DVD's at Rm4 each with the quality packaging mere to originals and we also can have shoes, Nike, Addidas, etc.. and also begs.. The shop selling all this goods is not 1 or 2, It's consider whole Row on the streets.. we can see it.

Others, places of interest will be stated the next trip to Hanoi. So, stay tune.
