A journey began.
From KL, we booked few services from the travel agency. You can contact Hien for more information if you wish to use her services.
One of the services-airport pickup.The cab bring us to our hostel-Youth International Hostel.Our room consist of three beds, have TV,aircond and kettle. The best part-internet services free! Harusla masing-masing use the free services till end of minute there.The hotel also offered few packages which quite cheaper as well.
After having our breakfast, manggi and roti with serunding,we continued our exploration.
With the map, we just walked from one road to another-exploring the town.We met Malaysian people who work in Hanoi in front of Halal food.The word 'halal' is in the map, so it much easier to find the location although you are new there.

Based on our findings,most buildings here got the inspiration from French colonial.The building build closely to each other,tall and thin and have balcony.The road so hectic where u can heard motorcycle hon their bike for the whole day. We also need to extra careful and hold each other hand everythime we want to cross the road. The way they lepak-lepak slightly different with us. With a small chair, they sat in front of the shop and having their meals.The fruit also cheaper and fresh.
A local person really nice person. They seems interested from where we are from (maybe this 3cute charlie angels wears tudung). With the pointing hand towards us, we play try and error guessing from where we are. Ader sekali tuh, teka aku dari India.Huh..I'm not Desh siblings ok..
So here interesting places in Hanoi.
Ngoc SonTemple
Location:Beautiful spot lake at the center of Hanoi.20 minutes walk distance from the hostel.
Cost:3000 dong
Open:0800-1700
The Ngoc Son temple build with the famous red bridge on a small island in the Hoan Kiem lake.It's a special lake as the legend of Hanoi began here.King Ly Thai To return the magic sword to a holy turtle on this lake that brought him victory against the Chinese Ming Dynasty.The lake rename as "Hoan Kiem" (Lake of Returned Sword).
It is a legend with nobody knows it true or not. However, until 1967, the giant turtle had been caught in this lake which remind people with the legend. Unfortunately the specimen died and is now on display at Ngoc Son Temple which is build on this lake.The legend also had been presented at water puppet show.
Water puppet theather
Location:In front of Ngoc Son temple.
Cost:40,000 VND + 60,000 VND
It's raining outside, we were tired and inside a dark theather watched the show.Yes I am sleep for few minutes.The show about 45 minutes and have many scenes which is not related to each other-Hanoi culture-fishing-harvest festival-lion dance-dragon dance-legend of the Restored Sword-etc..The shows speaks kinda like the chinese opera.Gune suara dalam yang nyaring dengan tanda nada yang panjang but of course in Viatnamese languange.To those luv the cultural experience, this is recommend for you.
Tickets are sold in 2 classes-First class VND 60,000 and second class VND 40,000.Pay VND 15000 for camera and VND 60,000 for capturing a video.
We asked the travel services to buy ticket for us.The ticket always sold out and basically people need to book advance to watch the show. But you know what,it actually can buy online;much more cheaper if buy online.
Nisa Restaurant-Halal restaurant
Location: 5 minutes walking from Hanoi Water Puppet theatre.
The only halal restaurant we find here.It's a pleasure when you met Malaysian people.Have a prayer room for you to pray. Not hard to find this restaurant as the word 'halal' is in the map.
Souvenirs shop
There's a lot along the road. Fridge magnet, tshirt,keychain,etc. Please bargain before you agreed with the prices.
