The timing of my visit to Vietnam was not so good and so I was warned by a lot of friends that Hanoi may not be a good option due to rains. But I was determined to go and hoped that my 2 days in Hanoi would give a sneak peak into the cultural side of Vietnam. After 3 days each in Ho Chi Minh city and Hoi An which was nothing less than amazing, I had high expectations from 2 days in Hanoi.
