vietnam final post!

we reached hanoi railway station at 430 am on saturday morning. 

the itinerary was to chill at hoan kiem lake and see the sunrise, and then go to joma bakery for breakfast. after that we will go to jw marriott hanoi to check in and have a good shower. 

there was really alot of people there doing their morning stroll/run. 

breakfast! joma bakery was quite a nice place to chill, with free wifi! 

we got scammed when taking taxi to marriott. as we are reaching the hotel, i took a look at the meter and the price was 125,000 dong. the moment we reached the hotel, the driver switched off the engine and the meter also got switched off in the process, and said the price was 200,000 dong. damn pissed!!!  

we are not going to let that bugger spoil our vietnam experience so we just let it go and went to check in. 

so glad to be at a five star hotel, after the disgusting home stay experience. hahahahahahaha. 

and we tried their room service! pho FTW!

and right after eating the pho i had diarrhoea. zzz. i also dunno whether there's something wrong with the pho, or with the condiments, or the butter, or the bread. luckily it was diarrhoea on the second last day. 

i still had diarrhoea on the last day and hence i could not really enjoy the hotel buffet breakfast. what a pity... :(

overall is still a good trip and i am glad to escape singapore for a short while! 

tomorrow is the start of sem 2! sem 2 will pass by really fast, and i will get married in dec with darling, and off we go for our honeymoon to japan!
