After a good night sleep and a recovery from a long night at the club, we got our day started in Ha Noi. We were not sure really what to do here, the city, which is the capital, is mainly a gateway to other hot spots in northern Vietnam. We walked around and explored the local street food. What I would usually get back home for around $10-$15 we are getting for around $1-$2 and it tastes so much better.
We eventually made our way to the sister hostel of our hostel. Why would we go to a hostel during the day? Well, on Sundays they offer buy one get one free beers ($1) until 4pm, then its free beer and $2 burgers. We met a couple girls from Norway and Germany, who helped to keep us company.
We continued to drink into the night. The hostel offered a free bar crawl, so we popped around to a few places and then parted from them to go back to the night club we visited the night before.
Oddly enough, Ha Noi still has a strong Communist grip around it. Speakers are on every telephone pole and there is always random chatter over them throughout the day. There is a mandatory curfew at midnight, everything must be shutdown and people inside, so there is not much late night partying to be done... except for the underground clubs. We made good friends with a Brazilian backpacker who knew his way around the city and guided us to one of these clubs. Lets just say, it was fun.
