    @wizardofOz almost everyday may araw sa umaga then umuulan sa hapon.

    if pang ikot ikot lang is kayang kaya na ung 50$ per day. Try to go sa Pho24 or Pho2000, sila ung mga popular Pho (vietnamese noodles) d2, 1 big bowl of noodles in Pho24 or Pho2000 cost around 5$.

    transpo hindi din mahal, bus is fixed fare (10-15 sa peso). Try mo ung local transport dito, motorbike tapos aangkas ka.

    @wizardofOz - sawasdee!!

    I have been to Hanoi kaso that was 7 years ago - good choice in including Halong Bay; it is better in pictures but still it would be a nice experience.

    In Hanoi, don't forget the Temple of Literature and the Tomb of Uncle Ho...

    Sawasdee Krub Khun @TasBurrfoot!

    Thanks sa mga inputs, natuloy ako sa Hanoi/Halong (kita naman sa mga post ko sa FB hehe)... and I must say, it was a surprisingly great trip!!

    Wala ako masyadong expectations kasi syempre coming from Philippines and Thailand... parang ano pa bang ganda ng tanawin at beaches ang wala sa mga bansang ito... Pero nagandahan din ako sa Vietnam and met new friends during my cruise sa Halong Bay...

    Nakagala din ako sa Hanoi and it was a good experience also, para akong nasa Avenida/Binondo haha, then napuntahan ko yung Temple of Literature and Mausoleum of Ho Chi Mihn... For some reason lagi akong napagkakamalang Vietnamese, kahit tingin ko hindi naman hehehe...

    Overall If you are planning on an SEA tour, I would recommend Vietnam to be on your list also.
