Hanoi-The capital of Vietnam

At first, I want to say that I did not go to Hanoi for traveling or having a relax time but I came here for my job. However, the short I had in Hanoi is enough for me to have a great time here.

I am a Japanese. Of course I live and work in Japan. But last year, my company opened a new brand in Hanoi Vietnam. It is the reason why I had a chance to come Vietnam 3 months ago. It was also the first time I came here. Because of the limited time, only one week meanwhile I needed to solve a number of problems here, I could not spend more time time on visiting beautiful places in Hanoi.

I went to work from 7.30 am and came back the hotel at 9p.m. After a hard working day I just wanted to sleep. So, I had a bath, drink some wine and went to bed. Most of the days I was in Hanoi like that except the last day.

The last day, my co-workers in Vietnam celebrated a small party in a local restaurant. It was a chance for me to communicate with them freely and friendly. We were all different from other days because we could chat and share many things with each other, not like in the office. Many people seemed to be strict when they work, in that day they were very so open and humorous that I was surprised.

After having a great mean, they invited me to cycling around the Old Corner. Of course I agreed because I have wanted to travel here for a long time. I had a chance to come to Hanoi but it is a pity if I did not visit here. I have to say that Hanoi is very beautiful, especially in the evenings. I came to Hanoi in September. In Autumn, the weather in Hanoi is more comfortable than other seasons, many people rushed into the streets and enjoy the great atmosphere. In Japan, all people are busy with their jobs, they have little time to relax, so in Japan it is difficult for me to see people to go out like in Hanoi. Vietnamese people are very hard working, they always do well their work, but they do not forget to spend time on relaxing. That is great!

Cycling around the Old corner was very interesting. I had a chance to enjoy myself and watch the sightseeing in the Old Corner of Hanoi. We took a lot of photographs. They are sweet memories. After that we came to a karaoke bar and sang as many as possible. I had a memorable time in Hanoi with Vietnamese friend who left very good impressions on my mind.
