Bắc Cầu

Finished at the same place were we started... Decathlon! (Because I keep losing my random stuff that I can only get there). It was nice to come back to a known place. I must confess, even though there's not much to do in Hanoi, it's a city I like quite a lot. We got invited to many beers and wine rice (even though I said I wasn't gonna have any more) and to an amazing soup (maybe we payed it by listening to a very drama queen monologue). After that escaped to our always recurrent night club (Tom's bar), but not after drinking a 5 liter beer. Had our last dance as a goodbye, and next day, very hangover did some egg coffee so Gabi could leave having tried all the essentials and I took the day to do some "recados". Back to being on my own after such a long time, and at the same time back to being the center of attention everywhere! How much does it change to be with a guy than a solo girl on the street. Also had the best creation in the world for lunch! All the best foods mixed in one dish (avocado, mango, coconut, icecream, nuts and fried banana). If there's something I am really gonna miss from Hanoi, it's its amazing street food variety and price.

🍴Food: egg coffee at Giang Caffee, avocado place, street food
📍Essentials: rent bike from Green Farm Restaurant, the owners are so fucking amazing and good price deal (they literaly invited us to so much tea, coffee, beer, wine rice and even a bit of their family dinner)
🔍 Some facts: rent in Hanoi is incredibly expensive (same price as big cities such as Paris or London, but considering the Vietnamese salaries) so people live in really small houses that often don't even have a kitchen and with a lot of people. Also you'll se that literally every place is settled outside and inside there is only a small kitchen (you can't walk on pavement because its full of super tiny chais, tables and motorbikes parked). But vietnamese law doesn't allow putting tables on the street. So in order to do that they need to monthly bribe policemen, paying really high and variant prices.
