20 JAN 2018, HaNoi

This is the first time for me to travel since 2016. Like many people, I was suffered from job and life. Holidays!? Sorry, not many in 2017. In 2018, let's make a fresh start for life.

Life is too short. When you realize it, it is never too later to make some changes and do what you want. The most important thing is your courage to face the bottom of your heart.

I have only one week holiday for this trip. I did not plan many things before I go...You know...Work life is busy...What I prepared are only 3 things, USD, booking of accommodation and visa. Do not plan a trip like me when it is peak season (summer maybe?).

 

Hong Kong International Airport. What a sunny day....

 Tasty lunch by Vietnam airlines

 NoiBai airport, advanced and beautiful facilities

 Normal Street view in Hanoi

 Busy city with many motorcycles, I saw 10years ago China

 Lucky I found a HSBC ATM, but however I did not withdraw money. Enough USD for whole trip.

 Ha trung St, best exchange rate in Hanoi. You just need to get inside the jewelry shop and ask for exchange. Let them show in calculator for how much you will get before exchange.

 

Bánh mì, this one is little bit expensive, 25k VND but it's okay for my first dinner in Vietnam

 Ha Trung St for second check

 

St. Joseph's Cathedral hanoi, there is a good hostel nearby (with good bar as well). The view is from this bar.
