Planning for Trip to Hanoi

Posted by Stuart at 09:53 PM on April 10, 2006

I've been pretty busy the last few days with work, and with my new part-time job I just took (more details on that later) and with cleaning the house now that the contractors are mostly finished with the bathroom. It has taken us several days to remove the layer of dirt and grime that the workers left behind, but now I think most of it is gone.

Also, I've spent some time planning my next trip. This week is the infamous Songkran holiday (Thai New Year), and to celebrate, we are leaving town. Rupert will be flying in tomorrow from San Francisco via Taipei, and then he and Piyawat and I will head to Hanoi for a few days.

I've been wanting to go to Hanoi ever since I moved to Asia, and now I will finally have the chance. Does anyone have any recommendations of things to do and places to go? We'll definitely do an overnight trip to Halong Bay, but other than that, we don't have any plans.
