For history visit the “Hanoi Hilton” prison, Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and Vietnam military history museum. Walk down the streets of the old quarter and get a drink at the “Beer Corner”. Water puppet theater was surprisingly entertaining and impressive. Check out some of the markets And if you have time go to Halong Bay — about a three-four hour drive from Hanoi but totally worth it (spend at least one night on a boat).

Definitely second halong bay. Watch YouTube videos on which restaurants to visit - I followed the Food Rangers recs for food and they were all amazing.

Definitely Halong bay, and if you like trekking, include Sa Pa. I am also going to be in Hanoi next week! Doing Vietnam and Cambodia both.

I’m looking into a Hanoi trio too—probably last week of Feb/first week of March. Does that seem reasonable weather-wise?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
