I'm sharing our shenanigans in Hanoi. If you're interested to know more about my perspective while we were at Old Quarter, you can read my previous post:
All I can say is it was one of the most sensory overloaded travels I've ever had. Hanoi's traffic is chaotic at first sight, but underlying that is an exquisitely tuned and efficient system. It's a dance, a multicolored tapestry of movement in which everyone has his or her niche. For a visitor, mastering this rhythm is the key to understanding the true nature of Hanoi.
I included a huge portion of Hanoi Train Street in the video, and there's a reason for that. Let me tell you that it's a sort of "expectation vs. reality". When visiting the area, forget about all the awesome photos you've probably seen on Instagram. It's chaotic and always be prepared to be called out by local vendors and policemen. There are probably better spots to stay or better time to visit, but we weren't prepared when we visited, so it was exhilarating at best or scary at worst, depending on your perspective.
Don't forget the Night Market and everything there is to buy. I'm not too much into trinkets and souvenirs, but I was enticed to buy something there. I'm more into food, especially the local fruits. I had a great time eating a lot of fruits that are new to my palate.
I guess that's all for this post. Enjoy the video!
