What To Expect

Train Street
In the midst of the chaotic streets of Hanoi, 2.5 km from the old quarter, there is a truly one-of-a-kind railroad. High speed North-South Reunification Train come barreling through the residential area known as “Train Street’ to Hanoi tourists.
We shall have a very informative session in 2.5 hours that include:

2. Very interesting stories on history and culture of Vietnam, from one thousand years of Chinese colony to French colony period and then US new-colony style;
3. Do we hate the Americans or French or Chinese people, after all the war time and fighting that Vietnamese have been through?
4. What makes the lifestyles of north - centre - south of Vietnam different from each other?
5. What are interesting stories about Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam's great great leader?
At the same time, let's experience the train passing 3 times during our session, bring your camera along as you can either take photo/video shooting or put your camera right on the track. This will be a very exciting experience.
