WHERE WE WENT
Hanoi 1990s Café
We chose the southern section instead of the main busy stretch, and preferred it. I messaged the café on WhatsApp about 20 minutes before we headed over to arrange our visit.
Finding the entrance was a little confusing because Grab dropped us at a generic address. I messaged the café again, and someone came out to bring us inside. They were super helpful.
I ordered an egg coffee for 70,000 VND, and my brother ordered an egg beer for 80,000 VND. We both liked our drinks. Those were the prices on our visit.
OUR EVENING
Two trains. Two directions.
We arrived at 6:30 PM to get a good seat for the 7:20 PM slot. On our visit, two trains passed roughly eight minutes apart from opposite directions, which gave us different shots.
The two directions gave us different angles to film from our seats.
Seeing the train pass that close was a completely new experience for us.
