Hello guys,

I've been in hanoi for 6 months now and found the city really boring. No offence , but it's true. My life currently are just office and home.

I'm wondering if there's any groups to join and maybe have a beer at weekend with? Better near Tay Ho Dist cuz I'm living here and usually get lost in Old Quarter

Btw, I am vietnamese, born and raised in Danang, moved to Saigon and now in Hanoi for work. Love travelling and meeting new people.

Lemme know if there's any group.

Thanks

Hi there,

You'd better start at Madake since it's in the neighborhood. They have pretty good activities and events scheduled almost every weekend

Hanoi Rock City is pretty nice too, pity I haven't got chances to come here yet :

Rastaman and Tea Room at the lower lake road along with Xuan Dieu open til late and if you like to meet up you can come there. A bit chaos :p

If you never try then you never know

We might not like it but who knows you will?

Cheers.

Hmm ... Last time I took up that suggestion it turned into a nightmare ! Still licking the wound. May be this time is different ... Yeah right.

Hint: Hanoi is not a place to party
If you prefer a quiet life, go to bed before 10, then welcome to Hanoi
Cheers ,

Actually I was there Sept last year. Hung around old quarter and loved Tay Ho. But I can imagine visiting for a few days as opposed to living there is completely 2 different things. Bed by 10pm may not be a bad concept ...
