Romancing the Paris of the east, Vietnam. (DAY 1)

I'm already starting to get lazy after just  two posts. Well, I went off to Vietnam last week following a company trip and I would share the bits I had along my journey.

I stayed up during sunday nite, awaiting the van that will bring us to KLIA.Thus, my first day was extremely tiring  as I did not have enough rest. The flight sucked as well as it was SO HOT and the service wasn't that satisfying. However, I was just glad that we arrived at Hanoi, Vietnam safely.

due to EXTREME boredom at KLIA.

yea!!...arrived at Hanoi airport~~

Next, hopped on a bus and headed off to lunch. Since it was my first time tasting Vietnamese food, I would give it a THUMBS UP!!!

restaurant / house

Houses there are all slim and tall, just like the local people there!! Walk along the streets in Hanoi and you can hardly see anyone who is oversized. everyone there is slim and fit even the elders.

Next we arrived at the hotel, Movenpick Hotel, Hanoi where I spent 3 out of 4 nights there. It's a 4.5 star hotel. The ambiance was awesome, though the lobby was kind of small. I would definitely recommend this hotel to ppl who would like to enjoy a wonderful stay at vietnam, not looking at the price. The rooms were  fantastic and is perfect for a comfortable getaway.

the water puppet stage

Right after we checked in and had a brief bath, we directly headed to dinner and stg special which Vietnam is proud of, water puppet show. Its basically a puppet show, but it's all presented in water. After that we headed back to the hotel, and had Vietnam's draft beer (bout RM3 for a huge glass of beer). It's superbly worth it and its taste is not bad. Then my brother and I rushed to a nearby cafe to surf the net and to contact our frens. Then, enjoyed some Vietnamese tv which were totally filled with korean mv,especially 4 minute!!

..hitting the no1 chart everyday!!..then, it was bed time...tata...that concludes Day 1 =)
