Third week in Hanoi

I’m not having the best week here in Hanoi. There are a lot of things on my mind. Mainly personal stuff. I did take some pictures of the Sword Lake when Tuan Anh and myself went to a cafe for drinks after lunch. It’s a much smaller lake compared to the West Lake. It was nice and windy from where we were but the pictures are not of the best quality since it was cloudy.

The view from the cafe was really nice. I was told the building of the cafe itself is more than a 100 years old. Fascinating interior.

The weather in Hanoi has changed slightly. Sunday and Monday was still pretty warm. Come Tuesday, the weather started to take a cooler front. Though not as cold as it was when I last visited Hong Kong and Shanghai last year, you could see the locals all decked out in long-sleeves at the very least. A large number actually showed up at work in jackets and some even winter clothings.

I guess as a Singaporean who experience the warm and humid weather most part of the year, I kind of enjoy the cool weather. I was walking around on the streets in my t-shirt and jeans. Folks from the project office asked if I felt cold. Amazingly, the air-conditioner in the project office is set at 28 degrees celsius. What is up with these folks? Might as well open the windows and save some energy.

The weekend is finally here…

    1. Setting the air-conditioner at 28 degree will help to save energy rather than at 24 degree.
    2. It’s very dusty and noisy if you keep the windows open

    (If you feel hot, why don’t you show us your full-naked ?????)
