Laidback VS Cosmopolitan (Thursday, March 06, 2008 / 12:57 pm)

FOUR reasons why i chose Hanoi/HalongBay/Sapa over Sydney

1. The scenery in the former is absolutely stunning. Everything you want to know about physical landforms can be practically found here except for volcanoes, i reckon. The pictures (scroll down) shall do the talking.

2. Vietnam as compared to Australia is a far less visited place in my social circle. Thus, i might as well bring some insights back from North Vietnam and share them in my blog. Lol, im just trying to avoid over touristy areas.

3. The trip to Sydney will cost me 2k (minimum) and i've got to scrimp and save my pay for the following 2 months. On the contrary, I'm just trying to spend 1k, at the most, on my Vietnam trip.

4. Most importantly, there's no summer sale in Sydney in May. Why bother spending a hefty sum on airfare then? Haha, i might as well use this opportunity to spend some money in the poorer villages of Sapa and feed the tourism sector there. Hopefully, my postponed trip to Sydney (to see the opera house!) in December will not be a wreck.


























Halong Bay - famous for it's limestone caves. A total delight for geographers. Plus, you get to kayak and visit all the hidden inlets and islands.

Picturesque views of Sapa.

I shall take a breather from work and experience the breathtaking beauty in Northern Vietnam.
