Day 1 – Welcome to Hanoi!

Cam on! Welcome to Hanoi!

Pretty happy with how everything’s worked out so far… plans? What plan?
*lol*
There weren’t any concrete plans =)
Plus I just changed my flight route this morning so I get to travel to Hanoi and maintain my flight back from HCM!

everyone was all smiles today… ‘smile, and the world smiles with you’
How apt =)

From the check-in counter staff to the customs officers to the DFS cashiers or crew…

Seat 17A –> yay! got to see the north part of Singapore, seldom get to see it =)

had a bit of time to burn at the departure hall…so started hunting for hotels to stay in for tonight… booked it just b4 boarding the plane… how exciting!

flight time turned out to be 3.5hrs… I didn’t know there was a time difference or that tiger airways had the arrival time in local time (destination)… *lol*
Ah well… my iPhone apps kept me company!

arrival in Hanoi wasn’t spectacular except for the ‘taxi’ guy who tried to rip us off… a toll of $20,000 dong and he told me 2 $100,000 notes would be right… *blur* no no no! =)
20USD no tip sir!

the hotel is small but nice =)
staff were friendly n nice too… I like it!

Food was awesome at this roadside stall… we had beef BBQ and some squabble was happening just two doors away… the auntie n uncle arguing across a busy street of passing motorbikes! *lol*

talked to a 37-year-old French guy Stephen who looked no older than 30… he looked typically French n is really one of the nicest I’ve come across… and good looking too =) perhaps it’s coz he’s been living in Singapore and then in Beijing for 8years…

Tomorrow it’s the mausoleum, park etc… yay!

goodnight for now!
