Good Places to take a girl for a date in Hanoi. Thank you by Chris123Low
Hello there, I'm from Cau Giay and I was wondering if anyone could be of great help and recommend somewhere fun a girl for a date, preferably in the Tay Ho area? If not I'm open to anywhere. Thank you very much!
The Unicorn Pub, in Bà Dinh between the old Quarter and Tay Ho has been named one of the best date bars in Asia. Quiet, occasional live music and strangely unique cocktails make this a great place to impress a woman who would like a chill place ... Read More

Teaching English in Hanoi by ManinHanoi
I would definitely recommend Hanoi as a place to live and teach English. It is well paid here (between $10 - $24 an hour) and the cost of living is relatively cheap. For example a 4 bedroom house can be rented for US $500 a month, food can be ...
But are you willing to take a wage equal to the local population (200 USD/ Month) for doing such jobs? I own a bar and that is we pay our very qualified staff... Read More

Hanoi may seem a panacea for English teaching, but take care. The government and people are growing tired of casual foreigners coming in to 'teach English' There is a push to eradicate non-qualified teachers and they are starting to ... Read More

Just so everyone is clear. Foreigners need a work permit in Vietnam. Getting a 'fast job' illegally is not recommended. Due to recent events both in Vietnam and overseas, illegal workers will be expelled and not allowed to return. Have a ... Read More

I hire foreigners through UNESCO. It is not as easy as 'just finding a job'. Legally, you must have a work permit to work (which requires a police background check and medical check up). If you are looking for an English center, most reputable ... Read More
So how cold Hanoi can be? by Irah
September is coming and I will visit Hanoi till the end of December. So like the subject above, "how cold Hanoi can be?". Is insect repellant necessary? How bad do i need it?
I see nothing but relative 'cold' terms above. The temps can drop to under 10 degrees C at night, but its a humid cold...so if feels colder. Put on top of that most places lack heating, people generally wear jackets indoors, and sometimes mittens. ... Read More

I am a director at a skills training center that teaches The Vietnamese to better communicate with foreigners and handle cultural differences. As a Single White female, you have nearly nothing to fear. You're most likely be seen as a novelty and ... Read More
The Old Quarter by ancientpathos
Been walking around the old quarter today. I hope the rest of Hanoi is better. It seems everyone is out to take advantage of the tourist. Maybe HCMC spoiled me. Stopped to buy an ice coffee on the street, they wanted 30000 dong, pineapple 200000 ...
I have lived in Hanoi's Old Quarter for years (I guess I enjoy the insanity) Hanoi is really at least 3 separate cities in nearly concentric rings. The Old Quarter has almost nothing in common with the 'Average' Hanoi or the New, ultra modern city ... Read More
