Anyone know Hanoi?
 

I'm being treated to a trip for my birthday by my amazing lady friend. And it looks likely on the actual birthday we'll be flying into Hanoi.

So, I need a nice hotel for the night and restaurant as it'll be my bloody 40th! We'll be heading off to other places in the morning.

Any recommendations?

Nice present! I can't give you any advice but we're planning to go to Vietnam in the coming years as well, it's supposed to be beautiful there.

Hanoi Hilton. John Mccain wasnt a fan though

when in doubt...

"There is a fixed price taxi stand right outside the airport exit, offering fares between US$10=16 into the city. It is slightly more expensive than the tout taxis, but you pre-pay for the trip, so no hassles about the fare. Other drivers may try to take you to a hotel of their choice to collect a commission, but if you are specific about your destination, they usually give in."

Yes, but he was a war criminal.

A lady friend taking you on a trip? How did you score that

So when I wrote "can anyone recommend a hotel and a restaurant for the evening" you read "Please post advice on how to get a cab from the airport"?

;)

I was there for only 2 nights....

They are masters of the cross sale - they should be in porn.

You think you are paying a very good price for a hotel until the bill comes and you find that it came with a girl that costs a fortune. I thought she was a chamber maid or something and asked her to leave but was still billed. Had I known I would kept her as a tour guide or something (I'm gay, so she was not much use for anything else).

Pay for everything in advance....

Card magic. It's how I've scored every girl!

She's fairly easy on the eye too.

Try to stay in the Old Quarter, stayed in a hostel there last year. Great area imo.

Oh and if possible try to do the trip to Halong Bay and do an overnight trip. Waking up in the morning in this scenery is amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%E1%BA%A1_Long_Bay

Yes, we'll be going to Halong Bay in the morning, just need to spend one night in Hanoi.

Thanks, looks cool.

I'll get more info out of you in AMS!

What is this card magic you speak of. Why has this not worked on me?
Do you mean playing cards or Mastercard?

Well enjoy your Birthday trip to Hanoi :drinkup

wow
no rebills?

Your lady friend is very cute :thumbsup

If you're going to Hanoi then trip to Halong Bay is a must :pimp

A black AMEX card works on a lot of females.

It has been scientifically proven that any woman can be satisfied with only 3 1/2 inches .... and it doesn't matter if it is Amex, Visa or Mastercard... :thumbsup

Thanks

Yes, it's definitely happening. I just will be getting into Hanoi quite late, and need one room for one night before getting the hell out of there to see the country!
