First impression: very busy indeed. The roades are cluttered with moto’s, and they are driving like crazy. Crossing a road means just walking into the mass of moto’s, walking slowly to the other side. The moto’s will then find there way arround you, its amazing. Next day breakfast in the hotel room, bread, coffee and juice. Then a walk thru the Old Quarter. Thats amazing to. All the streets have some theme. So there is a street with silk shops, a street with metal workers, one with sweets, decorations, grave stones, buddha’s, food and so on. All that in small shops, and mainly on the street. Food and fruit stalls everywhere. There are also females who sell food from baskets hanging from their shoulders. Later in the day we went for a lunch in a typicla Hanoi restaurant, we were the only tourists there. Then to the famous Water Puppet Theatre. That was a nice experience, see the photo section later. After that an other dinner, in a verry nice restaurant, Box It. This was very modern and with a loungy style. Good food, and the service was perfect, we talked a little bit with the waiter and learned a few words vietnamese. Cam on = thank you, Xin cao = hello. Then back to the hotel (it was 01.00) and decided to to take a tour to the Perfume Pagode the next morning.
