Hanoi, the capital of
Vietnam, is one of the Vietnamese cities more accessible and appealing, mainly because of the abundant amount of people, like taxi drivers who are always ready to tell old stories and adventures of the city’s past.
The city is quite large and has all types of
hotels, one of the most economical is the
ATS Hotel, now if the economy is not a problem, can stay at the Bao Son Hotel, located near several major attractions of the city.
What most people like to come to
Hanoi’s French colonial blending Asian and rhythm reigning in the streets, where everything runs noisily around strenuous business activities ranging from grass shoes and electronics. On the peripheries of the center are more neo-classical buildings, as well as lakes and parks are a break from the heat becomes unbearable at times.
Sometimes work is carried out with water puppet theater in the streets, but is most striking at the temple of literature dedicated to Confucius, the first university that existed in the country.
The heavy old-Vietnam
Vietnam too is a name associated with the horrors of war, but it’s the same horror that capture the attention of those
traveling.
In the city of
Ho Chi Minh, called Saigon by some locals, is a city that deserves a separate point to be described. Its streets are many scooters and bicycles hauling a lot of people, some go with whole families. The streets are full of trade and markets a full passing chaos does not end until late at night.
The ancient former capital of Hue, recalls the time when I used to take numerous concubines and eunuchs. A hallmark of the younger women is that they take the typical national dress
Ao Dai, making them look uniform with the rest of their same age range.
On another interesting area,
Vietnam is one of the largest producers of coffee in the world, far away, on the edges of the mountains may also see some rice paddies and people working around them. In Ho Chi Min much of the population speaks
English, to other areas with only understand the basics of the language, most commercially and there are some sectors where
French predominates, however
English is embedded in every
business in Vietnam so to buy something or get somewhere there were no problems asking the locals.
