0301 Vietnam – Before Departure

Vietnam Trip 245 (533x800)

2027 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, capital of Vietnam is a great city to visit. Every year thousands and thousands people from all over the world come to this ancient city. Peoples came to Hanoi not only because of the rich culture of the city, but also it beautiful scene surrounding the area.

I spent 7 days and 6 nights at Hanoi, Sapa, and Ha Long Bay. It was a great experience to visit all these places. I went to Hanoi with three of my friends. They are Leong, GeeGee and Immy.

Before departing from Malaysia, we did some study on the whole trip. We decided go for backpacker trip therefore we didn’t arrange our tour through any travelling agent either from Malaysia or from Hanoi. Each of us bought a Vietnam travel directory and spent some time on it. This is to fully understand the history, culture and the place that we plan to go. After we had a brief idea on the place we going to visit, we prepared our itineraries. The good thing of the itineraries is to make sure we can cover as many place as we can during our vacation. Before depart to Vietnam, we had a small gathering to discuss the itineraries we prepared. From the discussion, we did a small budget on the total expenses that we may need during the vacation by referring to the directory we read. By doing budgeting, we could able knew for every single cent we paid whether it is overpaid or in the reasonable price. We did check for the 10 days forecast at Hanoi, Sapa and Ha long to make sure we could plan well for our whole trip.
