Lots of mixed feelings in my last full day in Southeast Asia. I decided to take it slow, going back to a couple of places that I loved, and to a couple of new ones that were recommended. Finally, I couldn't think of a better way to say goodbye to Hanoi than cheering with 5k beers.

Remember my whole rant back when I was in HCMC about big cities and how quickly I get tired of them? Well, Hanoi is different. It feels like a big city but at the same time it doesn't. It has a perfect mix of everything: culture, food, tourist attractions, nightlife, nature. I'm a big fan of Hanoi. I could not have picked a better city as last stop in Vietnam.

Back in Hanoi for a couple days. I was going to head straight to Sa Pa after Halong Bay but I realized that if I did that, I would miss the famous Hanoi night market, which happens only on weekends. And if there's something you know about me at this point is that I'm a BIG fan of night markets. Hanoi goes all out with its night market. A bunch of streets in the Old Quarter are closed to traffic, and they become a festival of music, sports, and delicious food.

I made it to the capital! Hanoi serves as a hub to go visit most destinations in northern Vietnam, so I'll stop by several times, before finally flying out. Today I had enough time to do the 3 things everyone mentions about Hanoi: train street, egg coffee, and 5k beers at Bia Hoi Corner ($0.2).
