this place is great, the music has improved although the dance floor is too small but the best bit is dancing down the gang plank to get there - bring it on!!!

I love you Maos, you are my second home, my joy and retreat from real life, your beer tastes fantastic and is such good value and without your little red lounge, life in Hanoi wouldn't be the same.
Thanks for so much chilled/fun/crazy evenings and for many more to come

Hi Ryan
I used to learn Kung Fu with an awesome vietnamese teacher called Quang who speaks good english and has classes for both viets and foreigners. His studio is on Ba Trieu in Hai Ba Trung district. His phone number is 0904115388

good luck!

For example HSBC charge 0.3% fee + 265,000 VND for transaction and they use GBP exchange rate of 36,000 VND to 1 pound........so you will loose a lot but I heard that it is only going to get worse so I took the risk and transferred money out. I have now negotiated my salary in USD.
In response to the question: So there is currently a gap between the black market buy/sell rate and the bank buy/sell rate for USD and Dong. I'm just curious, what's to stop me f...
