We arrive at hanoi, in the evening and hanoi being a city with very short day, it was already dark.
Me, while waiting to be transfer to the hotel!
Our first dinner, this was a great experience, not only because the food is great but also how much fun we had during this meal. Being unable to peak in Viet, we had trouble communicating to the locals. They don't speak English, least not much. Thus, it was already a miracle that we manage to order food. and have food in front of us. But not knowing what to do with the food, we simple look around, and "copy" what the locals did. It was really funny and we had lots of fun eating and cooking!
Day 2, starts with breakfast of Pho ("fur"), which is a local delight of rice noodles and soup and beef. A must have when you visit Vietnam.
After breakfast, it was a day of City tour to the various attraction in Hanoi city.
@The museum of ethnic minority.
@ Mr Ho Chi Ming house!
Chef Iron Hand Stanley!!
At the final resting place of Mr Ho Chi Ming. His body is still in the building behind us!
All the temples in Hanoi.
They have a lot of similarity to China, maybe because it is at the borders of China and from the early days many of its ppl actually comes from China, thus, the culture and all have much similarity to that of China.
After a day of City tour, we walk to a local stall for seafood dinner! Again the lack of ability to communicate in Viet makes dinner very interesting and brings lots of laugh during dinner.
We were unable to identify the food which we want. Therefore, majority of the time, we simple look at the person beside us and point at the food which were on their table to inform the locals what we want.
We end up basically ordering what the guy beside us eat. I think he find this really entertaining and every time we point at his food and say that we want it too he will just give out a loud laugh, which we find very amusing too.
Finally the porridge, super nice and sweet because of the clam in it! Tasty!
A must have there!
This was like the last thing which the guy beside us ordered thus we have it too! Whahahahaha.
