Hanoi trip

Its been a while that i didn't update my blog..
there's nothing much to update .. plus i'm being lazy to write...

since now i'm in the mood of writing, i'm going to write about my trip to Hanoi on Feb 4 till Feb 9
the highlight of the trip was going to Sapa an Halong Bay which is very awesome experience.

The AA flite from Kuala Lumpur should be depart at 6.30 a.m but there are 10 vietnamese people who already check in but didn't board the flite.
It took a few announcement in Vietnamese language to call for them, but no response.
And to make it worse, all the luggage has to be unloaded to exclude their belongingss...
Serius.. aku tak tahu mana pegi lagi 10 org tu...rugi duit wooo.. dah lah korang tu orang susah...
Ok ni aku assume jer..klu orang senang mesti at least tahulah english skt2..

And after the unloading and loading, the flight depart at around 8 a.m..
and arrive in Hanoi around 11a.m. Luckily our hotel reps already there.
We took all our trip with Golden Sun Hotel.

On first day, we just walk around the old quarters area and also went to Dong Xuan Market.
There are lots of things sell there, butI didn't buy much since they quote us higher price and some of the things doesn't attract me. The only attraction for me is the beaded bag, but some of the design are out dated.

On first night, we board a train to Sapa. It was a train with bed and I think its quite nice. And only foreigner board this train. I can hardly see any Vietnamese people except tourist.
Trip in Sapa involves lots of trekking...and i find it quite refreshing to walk in a very cold weather. Aku rasa sbb tu lah orang putih byk jalan kaki compared to Asian people since tmpt dia orang tu sejuk jer..

We were in Sapa for two days, and on the second days we board the train to go back to Hanoi.
One more thing about the people in Hanoi, there are very punctual. So if you want to go there, better be on time.

We reach Hanoi around 5 a.m and freshen up a bit, after that, we went to Halong Bay at 8a.m
The trip to Halong Bay is awesome. There are only 10 people in our junk and the scenery, and weather is very nice....as i'm writing this, I already miss Halong Bay.
Later in the afternoon ,we went to Cave visit and the rest of the evening was lazying down....
Chit chat ting...And the next morning, we went for kayaking..
It's been like 10 years I didn't kayak, and this is a very good experience..

Overall, my trip to Hanoi, is the best trip ever. Since the winter start from December to Feb. pls chooose to go to Hanoi during this month and you won't regret it....

Chow... i did't post any photo since I already put in Fb...
