Walking around in the streets of Hanoi can be quite a fun experience. What I did with my family was to look out the window of our hotel (we stayed at the 15th floor of Somerset GH), and map out our walkabout route for the day. We discovered that the UN offices are just around the block, beside the Australian Ambassador's residence.
We also found the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) the entity that grants licenses for energy projects, in Hai Ba Trung St. I actually had a meeting there the next day with the Deputy Director General.
Last week we also walked around Hoan Kiem Lake. It was the eve of the Labor Day celebration and they prepared plenty of fireworks for the evening. I think the lake's circumference would be about 1.5 Km. Oh, and by the way, they have a KFC at the northern side. We went in there for ice-cream, burger and fries.
From the lake, we walked back to Somerset GH via Ly Thung Kiet St. And we passed by the Vietnam Atomic Energy Commission. So we paused for a quick snap. :-)
