Day 2: Hanoi
After a long night slee
p, everyone had their complimentary breakfast at the Melia Hotel, which served Vietnamese tropical fruit,noodle soup, eggs and a Western style breakfast. The weather was still cloudy and humid wit
h just a few droplets of rain.
After breakfast everyone met up for the tour at the Hoa Lo Prison, the Infamous Hanoi Hilton
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoa_Lo). After that, we went to the Temple of Literature, the oldest university of Vietnam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_L
iterature). At 12:30pm, everyone was taken to the 100 year-old, most famous restaurant of Hanoi, Cha Ca La Vong Restaurant. We indulged in the fish cake which was served with rice noodles, herbs, peanuts, and shrimp sauce. After lunch we all went off and explored on our own and then reconnected at 7pm for dinner. During our break from each other I spent my time walking around the 36-business districts. I really enjoyed taking pictures of the street vendors and talking with them.
