Creator's Key Takeaways

You definitely have to duck and squeeze through parts of it, which makes it feel way more of an adventure than we expected.

Hanoi was a serious shock to the system.

It's quiet and that's what we want.

We're going to go and check out the indoor pool, which I think was on level 13, and the sky bar on level 15.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared to go up lots of stairs if you go to Chong Chong Cave.
If you're in Hanoi, try the banh mi from Bari 25 for a cheap and delicious meal.
