Hanoi was very interesting. A very fast capital city full of motorbikes and scooters and people! The weather was very humid with slight pockets of rain that lasted a few minutes.
Whilst in Hanoi I visited the central lake, wandered around the streets, the markets and then went to visit The Hoa Lo prison that played a part in the French take over of Vietnam and then the Vietnamese war. It was really interesting going through the different rooms and cells finding out about what use to happen there.
I tried lots of food in Hanoi! I had an egg chocolate which is sort of like a mouse in a coffee cup. I had Pho, which is a local noodle soup that most people eat for breakfast, spring rolls (chicken ones with fried pastry and shrimp ones in rice paper) and I also had a "BBQ" where you get given raw meat and you cook it yourself at the table. Oh and Banh Mi! A French baguette filled with meat and salad. I am really enjoying the food so far. YAY.
Hostel was really cool too! Party central, karaoke and all sorts. My time in Hanoi was short but fun!
