We'll be in Hanoi for New Years Eve. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or where to go?

Hanoi Hilton?

No, seriously!

Yes and no - I know what you're on about, but I've also stayed there.

Still affects you daily, doesn't it?! I can understand why it would.

Hey, I'll be in Hanoi too, but a couple of days before New Years.

My usual response to that is: Suck my toe!

Only 'cause it rhymes.

I love Hanoi, was just there this July.

Places I enjoyed tremendously:
- The Old Quarters. It's composed of a maze of short narrow street, each selling only one item. Many little pagodas also dot the area
- Tran Quoc Pagoda near the West Lake. It's the prettiest pagoda in my opinion and well worth going up
- The Museum of Ethnology. Other than indoors exhibits, they also have stilt and long houses you can wander into
- Hang Gai Street, the Orchard Road of Hanoi. The silk dresses were absolutely gorgeous
- Little art studios are found everwhere. The paintings range from run-of-the-mill you can get for US$2 to really nicely executed stuff priced at US$2,000. I must have bought 9 paintings when I was there, 5 of which are now hanging in my room now
