Serendity: My Hanoi trip.... from 22-28 March 2009

On 22/03/2009

After our check-in in LCCT, its time for us to have a proper breakfast...
Yummy... we had our breakfast at Oldtown Kopitiam. After a good breakfast is time for boarding...

Well , before we left the "kopitiam" let's took a picture... say "cheeseeeeeEE"....

Come on...Look here !! Another picture captured in front of the plane..

Finallly we were in Hanoi, the man is the one who picked us from the airport.. The trip from airport to "Hello Vietnam Hotel" cost us about USD14. Well... we paid the transport because we just stayed in the hotel for a night.. If you stay more than 1 nigh then you can negotiate with the person in charge in the hotel for a transport.

This is the place where we passed by before entered our "Hello Vietnam Hotel".. The hotel cost us USD 12 per night for a twin sharing room. Well we didn't like the hotel much because it is smelly and not as clean as we expected. So we checked out on the next day....

Let's have a glance on their market.. very busy and very dirty. I can't imagine myself sitting there..but if I do, I will be like them not a big deal, after all I just want to keep my life go on.

I found something similar to our "mamak" stall, there have a lot of stalls selling drinks like the aunty in the picture, with a few small chairs then their business start.

This is our lunch in a restoran name " Little Hanoi"... Well the food on our table showed in the picture is the ingredient for the spring roll... I found that the Vietnamese do like to eat vegetables.. Most of their foods have a lot of vegetables in there.... Well.. I do like their food very much (I mean those I tried).

The most terrified incident I met in Vietnam is their traffic... Well their traffic is horrible... everyone just drive their own way. If you plan to cross the road, well... you just have to cross without stop down, of course you have to be very careful while you are crossing... The safest way for us to cross the road is we followed the local people while they were crossing as well.. Ha!!

"Every crossed road is just like our life decision, it may seem to be difficult at first but when you are at the other roadside, turned back your head, you will find that everything has been passed so easily.. "

This is Ho Chi Minh Palace Museum

I took this from the top of the military musuem. This is a place I do recommend my friends to go. To know a country and people, we must know their history. Vietnam is a country that full of the wars history..

Now only I realised the reason of Vietnamese can survive in a hard time because they are true patriotic. They are a soldier in their blood.. But I doubt can I be like them? passionate? patriotic? Well I doubt myself especially with the current situation in Malaysia.. Well you know what I meant, right ? Racial issues, complicated politic issues..
I do hope our politician know that our nation need peaceful life, our people do not have any racial problem.. Do wake up please!!!
