I get to my room around midnight, tired and hungry. I throw my backpack in a corner, get back on the street and look for the first street food stall. It was just around the corner. I order a soup and some fried noodles with chicken and vegetables. A few minutes later, I take the first bite. I got simply amazed. The street food in Vietnam is delicious! I like street food, but there’s street food and vietnamese street food. I never had such as amazing dishes, that at first sight are so simple, but they are so good.
Next day, when I got rid of my “food jet lag”, I start exploring Hanoi. There’s a vibe in Hanoi that I never felt in another city. It’s a mix of hard working people, lots of scooters, noise everywhere, food every corner, fairs, parties and a lot of tourists, of course.
After spending a few days in Hanoi, I book a trip to Halong Bay. Best decision ever. I got lucky to book a boat full of nice guys, top quality services and again, very good good. If you plan to get to Vietnam, you have to make some time for an overnight trip to Halong Bay. The views are simply amazing and the sunset, dinner and sleeping overnight on the boat is a must.
