1st Day At Hanoi

I have reached Hanoi!!!!!!

When we reached the Hanoi airport, we couldn't find the guy from hotel who was supposed to pick us up. Found the hotel and tour counter and asked them to help us call the hotel. The hotel guy straight away noe that I'm Vivian. Must be I'm the only customer?

Straight after dat we found the guy. And we travelled to hotel in a car!!! not a van wor! 1st time picked up by hotel is car leh. Feel quite VIP.

Reached hotel. It was so different from website!! As usual pic on the net are always deceiving. But we were happy tat the hotel room has its own computer! And that's why I can blog now!!!

Went down to the nearby streets and found a road side eatery. As there were quite a lot of ppl there, we tot it should be quite ok and sat down at the kinda dirty place. Everyone just throw tissue, bones etc onto the floor and we were like stepping on all the rubbish. Sat down on the little stool and den ordered our food. We had roasted pigeon, fried rice noodles with beef and fried rice. The food were delicious and cheap. On top of the 3 dishes, we had 1 can of coke, 7up and mineral water. Our supper cost us USD8. (Was supposed to be in Dong but as we do not have any with us, we paid in USD. Exchange rate was abt 1USD to 15,000dong)

Went to buy mineral water but the expiry date on the bottles are all overdue. We were not sure if it is expiry date or manufacture date though. But since all bottles are like tat, so we hope it is ok? haha.

Came back, had a hot bath and ready to slp. Tml is going to be free and easy day for us. Not sure what we are going to do yet. But seems like we are the only customers in this hotel. That is the reason why they rem my name? haha.

As we are living in the old quarter, where there are abt 40+ streets selling diff things, just now when we pass by we could alr see different shops selling different things. I guess this Hanoi trip is going to be sumthing interesting and different. Esp fr my Korea trip which was so high class for most things. This Hanoi trip is going to be more down to earth I guess.

Hope that everything will go well for all of us for the rest of our trip~~~ :)

Last but not least, Lubby, I miss you!!!
