Brief Stay in Hanoi Vietnam - Retire Cheap VN 06

The nice thing about Vietnam and SE Asia is the short flight convenience. We’ve taken and unexpected short airline trip to to get a Eagle Creek Switchback bag repaired in Hanoi. This short trip to Hanoi was unexpected but it is always fun to drop in Hanoi’s Old Quarter and peruse around. In this episode I will go over a few of the differences between a retirement in Thailand or Vietnam and talk about an improvement I see in Hanoi. I will also talk about the good and bad points of Vietnam for living full time as a retiree. I feel Vietnam has a lot to offer RIPpers (Retirees In Paradise) so let’s see more about living in Vietnam and about the people in this continuing series.

During our trip we will continue to contemplate the question, “what would life be like living in Vietnam as a retiree?” We will continue to see what the upsides and downsides are to living in a communist country like Vietnam. Here is a little info about Hanoi.

Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is known for many things including its centuries-old colonial architecture and a rich culture with Chinese, French and Southeast Asian influences. At the heart of Hanoi is the bustling Old Quarter and its narrow streets. There are many little temples, including Bach Ma, honoring a legendary horse, plus Đồng Xuân Market, selling household goods and street food.

Hanoi is located on the banks of the Red River and is one of the most ancient capitals in the world. Here travellers can find well-preserved old colonial buildings, ancient pagodas, and even unique museums. Hanoi is a great place to explore on foot. This old French-colonial city is well known for its delicious cuisine, silks and handicrafts. Hanoi is a multi-cultural community made up of Chinese, French and Russian influences. A short drive away from Hanoi is a tranquil countryside featuring lush parks, verdant mountains, traditional villages, and the famous Ha Long Bay.
