So, our last day in Hanoi has come to an end. Just got back from back Dong Xuan Market, which is Vietnam's version of the North American shopping mall. Packed to the brim with merchandise, this three-story building sells everything and more. Wandering the streets is a feast for the senses. We strolled down several streets, looking for a place to have lunch. We came across a stall full of people with an array of pots on display near the front. After getting across the message that we didn't want meat, a woman topped off a plate of steaming rice with greens, carrots and lots of tofu - all for less than $1 USD. This is but one example of the wonderful SE Asian meals we've enjoyed. We've sampled many different phos (noodle soups), yet overall, the Vietnamese cuisine is lacking a little in flavour compared to its neighbouring countries. That being said, with rice always on the menu, Netty is a happy traveller.
Tonight, we head to Hue on an overnight bus. More updates to come...
