Hello Hive Lovers, how are things?
Have you watched the high speed train passing through the narrow streets just inches away? It sound crazy but definitely one of the most wonderful and strange experience that you should not miss when in Ha Noi, Viet Nam.
History : "During the French colonial period, the North-South railway including Hanoi train station was built. For many years, the railway runs around the capital quietly mixing with the rhythm of this place. The train streets start from Long Bien station to the end of Le Duan street, Hanoi." ( Source : https://www.expatolife.com/)
Where to find: you can find it in many street of the capital; nevertheless Le Duan street is highly recommended as a best spot.
Train Arrival Schedule: Around 7pm-10pm weekday and 8am-21:15 during weekend.
Tips: try to reach about half hour earlier and sit down at a coffee shop along the reack- some delicious foods are served as well and amazing EGG COFFEE. The location is on the google map and can be easily found so don't need to pay for the tour-you can visit there by yourself. It's really popular and every tourist wants to come here, hence the safety of the street has been rising. Plus, the train does come close so please be safe.
I have been to Ha Noi a few times for my short visit to take a bus to some other provinces in the northern, X-ray check up for visas or just for my international flights. For me, it was not interesting city for travelling and I know I was wrong until last year a friend and I came back Ha Noi for a couple of days and we did have a great time and unique experience. Tasty foods ( especially Bun Cha Obama that former US President Barack Obama tried during his visit here in May 2016- it's so yummy), Egg Coffee ( best ever) and this strange train street are completely amazing.

There are many restaurant using Obama name for their restaurant to get attention from customers after his visit. If you want to visit the exact restaurant that Obama and Anthony Bourdain had an awesome dinner馃ぉ, let's grab to 24 Le Van Huu Street 馃槅

Have you heard about Egg coffee? "Egg coffee is thick, strong and dark vietnamese brewed coffee topped with a sweet, light and creamy foam of egg yolk and condensed milk."
Traditionally from Hanoi, egg coffee has become famous. If you visit Ha Noi, don't miss this and you can find the most deliciousand real taste of egg coffee at "Giang cafe" (History of the 70-year-old coffee) at 39 Nguyen Huu Huan Street, Hoan Kiem, Ha Noi. You can still find good egg coffee in other parts of Viet Nam. It's the most amazing coffee I have ever tried.
Pity that I did not take any pics for foods or drinks that we had. Just a bit extra recommendation a must-try combo if you want to taste the food of the Capital 馃ぉ
I hope you enjoy watching my very short "fast and curios" train version :))
