Final stop – Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.

Similar to any other places in Vietnam, two-wheeled vehicles dominate the streets.

Cha Ca (grilled fish), the one and only dish from Cha Ca La Vong at the 14, Cha Ca Street.

Hanoi
The famous (and no doubt expensive) Bobby Chin Restaurant. Initially, they had planned to have a grand feast here on their last day in Vietnam.

However, convinced by another couple of fellow travelers from Singapore, they eventually indulged themselves in authentic Vietnamese buffet at Sen Ha Thanh, which was fantastic, and cheaper.

Sapa"

Situated in the Lao Cai province in northwest Vietnam, Sapa is a quiet mountain town and home to a great diversity of ethnic minority peoples such as H’mong, Dao and Tay.

On the other hand, the Black Hmong women have quite a different taste of fashion.

Must have been quite a burden to the earlobes.

Many of the Black Hmong women carry their baby on their back to work, whether the child is awake,
