We arrived in Hanoi on 28 December at 5 am which in England was 10 pm. It's the worst time to arrive as we should be going to bed but the day was just starting.
We had a nap in our hotel and then we visited the old quarter and lake, both situated near our hotel. The old quarter was extremely noisy and polluted because of the motorbikes and we had enough of it after half an hour but the lake area was quiet and relaxing as no vehicles are allowed around the lake. We spoke to several Vietnamese children as they approach foreigners and ask if they could practice their English. They have questions in English written down so it feels like an interview he he. The children were lovely and very bright. All of them said they didn't enjoy school which reminded me of my school. It was strict and used punishment, so perhaps here it's similar.
