Trip to Hanoi, Day 3 (Sept 8, 2009)

Today had four cases. For me, number of cases was considered high! Still felt tired and sleepy in the afternoon. After had my early breakfast this morning, I didn't continue my sleep. I checked and replied office e-mails.

The surgeons in this hospital are more fluent speaking French than speaking English. Maybe because of historical relations, and also at the last one year of their study, they go to France to finish the study.

At the end of the day, we went back to the lake. I bought pink dress for my niece. I exchanged money at the store, somehow they offered better rate (USD 1 = VND 18,000) while at the Tourist Info Shop, the rate was USD 1 = 17,270. The rate in our hotel was still better, USD 1 = 17,820





Other souvenirs I bought


A lady from Malaysia said that she even got better than mine. This morning she exchanged money at gold shop, the rate was VND 18,300!

We had dinner at KFC. Oh my, we went far from Indonesia, and here we only had KFC??? Can't complain to my clients, lol. Unfortunately, they forgot to include one of my client’s order. He got angry and complaint to the staff and he got his meal, free of charge.

We asked a man whether there's a mall in the area. He informed about Vincom Mall, so we went there. He suggested to take Manlinh taxi because it’s more safe, in terms of driver and charges.

Went there, hung out at Highland Coffee and had some coffee there. Discussed several things with my client then we went to hotel. I was online for awhile then went to bed.
