Re: Hanoi
Storming Hoan Kiem Lake
============================================ Young motorcyclists gathered on a corner opposite Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem Lake at 1 a.m. on Sunday (March 20). The streets of downtown Hanoi had emptied of all but a few late night revelers. By midnight, on a recent Saturday, a light rain had dried up and the chilly dampness of winter gave way to a fresh Spring evening. In the crisp quiet of the city, the loop around Hoan Kiem Lake buzzed with motorbike engines and teenage angst. By 1 a.m., some 60 youths had gathered, in leather jackets and dark clothes, on Dinh Tien Hoang Street, on a broad stretch of sidewalk in front of the Water Puppetry Theater. Some chatted with their girlfriends. Others gathered in small groups. Some smoked, anxiously, astride their motorcycles. A handful of daredevils tore up the road, zigzagging across lanes and yanking their bikes up into daring wheelies as they passed the more cautious crowd of cyclists. “They’re waiting for the police to go home,” said Thi, a French-speaking tour guide who grew up just a few blocks away. Thi said he’d never raced, but for the past three years, he’d come out on Saturday nights to watch the spectacle. He said the racers had lookouts posted all over the two kilometer loop. When the police go home, he said, they all get the signal and burn out into the fray. Some drive down the road lying flat on their motorbike cushions. Others drive standing up, manipulating the handlebars with their feet. There had been injuries and deaths, he claimed. Attempts to confirm the claim with local police and hospitals were not successful. An hour passed and only a few kids left the sidewalk to race or pull tricks around the lake. The remaining crowd seemed anxious and bored. At around 1:45 a.m., the real race began. A green troop transport lumbered onto the opposite corner sending the group into an ecstatic frenzy. By the time the first cop had hopped over the rear gate, clutching a white baton, the kids had jetted around the corner, heading north in a speeding swarm. Street racing is everywhere in Hanoi, but Hoan Kiem Lake seems an unlikely space for racing. The lake is prime real estate: inhabited by an exalted turtle and surrounded by posh shops, restaurants and strolling tourists. One newspaper editor in the town scoffed at the suggestion. “There are races,” she said. “But not around Hoan Kiem.” Two years ago, however, Dr. Alexandre Dormeier Freire published a sociological study on Vietnamese motorcycle culture that identified Hoan Kiem Lake as a place to show off. Within the culture of racers and daredevils, the most popular pastime, Freire noted, was toying with the police. “Provoking the police force is a rather widespread practice,” he noted. And the cops aren’t happy about it. “The illegal racers often go out on Saturdays and Sundays, when there are fewer patrols,” admitted Senior Lieutenant Colonel Pham Van Hung, Chief of the Mobile Police Regiment at the city police force. “We are aware of the situation and plan to resolve it.” Now that the weather has begun to warm up, he said that the seasons for weekend racing and stunt driving has returned, he said. They will dispatch more police to combat the issue. Some young Vietnamese say that the approach has been counter-productive: police pursuit can result in terrible crashes. The few who are caught face stiff penalties. This January, the Hanoi People’s Court tried 21 youths, in eight different groups, for participating in a November street race. Several defendants, some of whom were still in high school, were sentenced to between three and 13 months in jail. “The municipal People’s Court will try three more racers, soon, for similar crimes,” said Hung, the police official.

Fortuna
Share my field report
Was in Hanoi. Went to the Fortunate hotel. The boss. Well was at relax bar etc and been to some of the local MTV . But wanted to take a look at boss. Wow they have 170 ladies that night! And lots of girls! But I must say the charges are high for Vietnam standard. Girl charge $35 goes to hse Tips $20 drinks beer is $5 Tip ma ma sang $10 I change a girl once so end up pay girl charge 2 time. Not are if this is normal. So see properly when u pick. Most of e girls can speak some English and few Chinese words. I saw quite a number very pretty girls walking around. I suggest tipping mah mah sang to bring the best stocks out. Coz I got a feel the 1st few batches I saw not so nice... Or they just got nicer as I see more choice!! Hah but anyway the night sat me back 130usd with 2 gers and drinks. It not cheap in local terms but well i like the selection. If I stay in fortuna I will consider bring the girls up. If not too much ver head $50 for 2hr room charge and $100 usd for the ger 2hrs....

Are there different types for mobifone? How to tell the shop person? and how to activate and de-activate? I tried asking a few shops selling SIM cards and also checked with hotel lobby. All of them say vietnam don't have prepaid card that allows roaming. and most of them recommended Viettel which can call overseas from Vietnam. Thanks for your info!

Re: Hanoi
I've been in hanoi... add together around 3 months liao... so far find hanoi is really as what deptrai4u described... not many quality cheong places (as in pay fuck and forget) and it is more for long term fun... For local joints like geylang style... the rates are very cheap... 300k vnd for local and 600k for foreigner... but the quality is usually very bad... and environment very dirty and very very very very run down. I managed to take a "tour" with my local colleagues... nice experience...
There are many places with nice SYT and requires skill for long term relationship... I'm quite fortunate at least in my office and in the local ktvs and hanoi KTV I tried... most viet girls would take initiative to surround me... so far the best offer was 2 person for 50 USD (the other person FOC hahaha... ) for short session... well both person are quite SYT and one very nice figure... not sure if that is because of my looks... or because I'm a Singaporean... my colleagues that go with me are not Singaporeans... and of various nationalities... I had a session with a girl with very good model looks, nice real C cup asset and very good figure. Total cost around 2.9mil... including taxi, 1hr job and tips. Yah I know its expensive. This girl is very inexperienced... dont even know how to put condom. Take me 1hr of sweet talk to her before she agreed to have a session with me. at first she keep rejecting my offer until I raised my $ proposal... and even with that amount she keep rejecting and say will recommend other friends who can have a session with me instead because she is not into FJ. finally after long sweet talk and eye communication... she agreed... and only 1hr because she got to work the next day. well... overall is really nice experience... of course it is very limited session... for this newbie.. this cannot that cannot... etc... and only 1 position...all the work I do... hahaha... really a new new bie... So far this is the best figure and face I tried... so to me its worth it... and really really requires skill for action for this kind of SYT... hahaha I'm fortunate... too bad communication is a problem in vietnam.. so can only make use of eye communication and body language

In China, u also get many cheat cases, so why not say that it is Chinese culture to cheat as well??? Let me just say this... to all brudders here... just be bery careful of people who posting in this forum and their points are in RED, these people are confirmed CHEATS and that is the way seniors warn newbies that YOU should avoid such people. If any of such people PM to you, its best u contact some seniors in the thread to confirm before u are conned by Singaporeans.

But what I can confirm is what I have posted is real.. about the taxi, FL rates etc... and I welcome any challenge to say what I have posted is not real. Taxi cheating is very common in Hanoi. Unreasonable pricing is also very common in Vietnam. I'm sure most people who visit Vietnam and work in Vietnam can verify this. Every country is different... and I do have to admit... some Singaporeans are scary too... I didn't say China and Singapore is good... and I'm not saying all Vietnamese are bad.. if not all my colleagues are terrible people. I do agree with bro deptrai... in some things... but not all things sometimes... not always forum laojiao with lots of points are always correct. I understand about all this zapping going on  too many meaningless posts around... which I usually skip... wasting my time So newbies....beware of all postings on internet... it's best to verify with various sources... since you don't know the person... unlike long known colleagues or friends... beware of their posts... and beware of cheonging with strangers... so thanks for forum laojiaos who is kind to offer to meet in vietnam... for me... I prefer to go around with someone I know... not with someone i do not know... so I'm not interested in meet ups

It is uncouth of you in making the taboo remark on the very topic this thread is about. Readers here may have Vietnamese relatives, and being labeled as a culture to cheat will only castigate you with anguish replies. You have no ground to stand on.

In my first post in this thread, I'm already rather frustrated... the few laojiao gang... trying to zap another guy... and I believe all newbies would be recognized as that guy in that sense... that real guy who u want to zap must be laughing away.... because u are zapping everyone whom u think is that person. anyway.. none of my business... so u guys continue have fun in vietnam... i'm going back to singapore... home sweet home... no more traveling for me.... i'm so happy... cam on!
