After 3-4 hours, we reached the Noi Bai International Airport, Hanoi (this airport is not nice as what I had expected). Then, we took about 45 mins journey to the Hoan Kiem Lake which is the largest lake at Hanoi. The best thing for me travel to Hanoi is their weather, because when it turning into autumn and then wind blow to you feel nice (sunrise will be hot but after sunset will be very cold)
Tran Quoc Pagoda is the oldest Buddhist temple in Hanoi. Something special about their Buddhist monk pagoda, they will build the pagoda by following the monk's level of religious practice or the monk's age which means the older the monk, higher the layer of the pagoda.

First thing must eat in Hanoi is the Pho (rice noodle). Even though this looks like kueh tiew or bihun but the taste is totally different because its made from rice. There are 2 common types of Pho, one is called Pho Ga (Chicken noodle soup) and another is called Pho Bo (Beef noodle soup). I only tried the chicken cause I don't eat beef, the noodle is thin and smooth, not taste like handmade noodle also, the taste is special and you will like it so much.

Inside here has divided into 3 parts (the front is garden, following with lake and temple, then the last one is the museum). In the old generations, those student that has passed all level of the exams only can study at here. So, to remember all the students had graduated at here, they will record each of their names on the stone.

My tourist guide has chosen the water puppet show at Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, Hanoi cause their performance is very attractive and skill is professional when compared to show in HaiLong. The show took about an hour and caused me fall asleep because it is so dark here. (haven't sleep for a day =( )

Dinner time! One
of my favorite dishes at dinner is this SEAFOOD SOUP. This taste like sharp-fin
soup I guess although I never taste real one before. I think they had blended and
mixed all seafood together with seasoning and corn flour to make it sticky and
thick. Overall, this taste had really brought back a special memory and
unforgettable taste for me by that time.
Not only the delicious food will be served, we also enjoyed the perfect music band performance when having our dinner. They use the simple traditional musical instrument to create so many soft music. I wish there will be a hot guy accompany me because everything is so romantic. =D

I bought this 4 pieces of cakes next to my dinner restaurant for my supper. Guess what? Total 18,000 dong which below RM 3 for 4 cakes that I never find this price in my place. The sponge cake is super soft and taste nice. ^ ^
