Founded more than a millennium ago; established as the centre of government for the Indochina in 1888; and named as the capital of reunified North and South Vietnam in 1975, Hanoi is a city rich with history, tradition and culture.
Recognised as the heart and soul of Vietnam, today Hanoi is home to a confluence of influences. Ancient temples, pagodas and monuments are scattered among French colonial residences and modern office buildings. The Old Quarter preserves medieval customs as hawkers deal in centuries'-old trades. While t'ai chi and chess enthusiasts line the shores of Hoan Kiem Lake, epitomising the city's charm.

Hanoi Hotel
4-Star Property
Centrally located in the heart of Hanoi City in the Ba Dinh District, overlooking the Giang Vo Lake, the Hanoi Hotel is just a short walk from shopping towns, government agencies, embassies, diplomatic quarters and many other prominent and important Hanoi landmarks. Boasting charming facilities and modern conveniences, all guestrooms offers elegant spaces for guests to work or unwind.
Owing to its long history and diverse and cosmopolitan nature, Hanoi enjoys an exciting food culture. Cooking is considered an art form in Vietnam, and as a result the capital has no shortage of impressive dishes and eateries.
Packed with charming colonial architecture, the Old Quarter is Hanoi's major commercial district. A maze of ancient trade streets, the Old Quarter is a great place to experience traditional and modern Vietnamese fare. Preserved shop-houses host restaurants, bakeries and bars; while street vendors ply the streets hawking local and adventurous delicacies. Hang Hanh, a lively street near Hoan Kiem Lake, is a popular Vietnamese hang out, lined with cafés and restaurants. As the city's major business and tourism hub, the Old Quarter comes alive at night with live music venues, discos, clubs, bars and karaoke joints.
The wide tree-lined boulevards of the French Quarter offer a refreshing contrast to the chaotic cobblestoned lanes of the Old Quarter. Dotted with lemon-hued colonial villas, the French Quarter is home to embassies, upscale hotels and designer restaurants. Visitors could be forgiven for thinking they were in Paris as the Quarter's main artery, Trang Tien, is lined with cafes, bookshops and art galleries, and permeated with the smell baguettes and café au lait – a reminder of Hanoi's French colonial history.
A typical Hanoi breakfast consists of pho. Pho can be bought on city blocks all throughout the city, as makeshift pho stands with vendors serving the steaming noodles broth populate the street corners. The classic Vietnamese noodle soup is sold from sunrise to last call.
Another authentic Hanoi food experience is to pull up a stool at one of the city's many bia hois (beer halls), and indulge in the local beer. Draft beer (bia hoi) is sacred to Vietnam, and can be enjoyed all throughout the city.
Shopping in Hanoi does not disappoint. The thousand-year old Vietnamese capital brims with an array of shopping opportunities, ranging for cheap and cheerful to expensive and impressive.
Most of the city's retail trade is conducted near Hoan Kiem Lake, within the Hoan Kiem District. Hang Bac Street – one of the oldest streets in Vietnam – has its roots in silver making, dating back to the 13th century, and is still a great place to pick up beautiful Vietnamese jewellery. Hang Gai Street (Silk Street) is renowned its craftsmen, and is a go-to for personally tailored suits and garbs. While Hang Dau Street is a haven for shoe-lovers.
Little Hanoi, a shopping area which covers Nha Tho Street and Xuan Dieu Street, brims with tourists looking to pick up souvenirs and unusual pieces. The area also hosts a few upmarket flagship shops, including Burberry and Esprit. Pho Trang Tien is Hanoi's premier art street, boasting private galleries and workshops. Trang Tien Plaza attracts a young and trendy crowd with imported brand names in fashion, apparel and electronic goods.
The city also has a good range of markets, which provide a great opportunity to experience Hanoi's social setting and retail scene. Hanoi's largest covered market, Dong Xuan is a sprawling traditional Vietnamese market, home to stalls selling everything from trinkets to fake goods and fashion to home wares. Cho 19-12 (the 19-12 Market) is one of Hanoi's most interesting markets; a labyrinth of local goods, produce and oddities.

Israel's demand for a permanent solution to stop pounding the densely populated area is mind boggling. How can the helpless 1.5 million residents of Gaza give them what they wanted?
Hamas militants numbered no more than thousands in the area and most of their top leaders have fled the area to take shelter before the pounding began. The ones suffering are normal citizens who have had enough of bloodshed and war.
We need to implore the arrogance of power shown by both Israel and Hamas. If Hamas truly cared the Palestinians, it should not act before thinking. What is truly needed is a permanent peace between the two neighbours. Both Israel and Palestine do not have to like each other but they must learn to coexist. Peace provides a better platform and condition for favourable human qualities to blossom than war and conflict.
It is also sad to see the disunity shown by the international community especially the UNSC on this matter. US should ask why it must continue to support a military response to this conflict. It should know better than to demand a permanent solution from the helpless Palestinians.
Hamas is partly responsible for the lost of lives. It has acted irresponsibly. I doubt majority of Palestinians support the stance taken by Hamas - which thrives on conflict. Hamas should stop its constant taunts of making Gaza a graveyard of Israelis.
Meanwhile, the international community must intervene and work together to bring a peaceful, well-informed and logical choice to the table for the Palestinians. Most, I believe, will support peace over war, responsible government over power arrogance and friendship over hatred.
Israel's disproportionate reaction to this crisis will not help achieve anything positive.
Do they truly desire peace?

NEW YORK -- It was the potential for moments like Friday night that was the lure for CC Sabathia to sign with the New York Yankees as a free agent four years ago.
Postseason baseball at Yankee Stadium. A winner-take-all game. The chance to advance the Yankees one step closer to a 28th world championship.
BOX SCORE: Yankees 3, Orioles 1
NIGHTENGALE: A-Rod benched in Game 5
Sabathia carried a shutout into the eighth inning and pitched a four-hitter as the Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 in the decisive Game 5 of their American League Division Series.
"Having a chance to win a championship every year, the organization gets exactly what you need to try to put together a championship team and that's all you can ask for as a player," Sabathia said. "And to be able to come out here and play in these games, especially in the Bronx for this organization, it feels good."
The left-hander pitched his first complete game in 17 career postseason starts while striking out nine and walking two.
Sabathia improved to 7-1 with a 3.09 in 12 postseason starts for the Yankees. He has also held opponents to a .194 batting average this season at Yankee Stadium.
"It is what I'm here for," Sabathia said of his postseason success in pinstripes. "It is what I play the game for. I guess I should feel a little pressure or something like that, but I don't. It can be Game 1 or Game 15, it doesn't matter. I feel like I need to go out and win every time out and I think that takes the outside pressure off me. I put so much pressure on myself to go out and perform well that I expect it."
The Yankees will host the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at 8:07 p.m. ET on Saturday. Veteran lefty Andy Pettitte (5-4, 2.87 in the regular season) will pitch for New York against Doug Fister (10-10, 3.45).
Sabathia also won Game 1 and allowed just three runs in 17 2/3 innings against the Orioles in the series.
"He didn't pitch all five games but it certainly felt like it," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "He's a great pitcher and we had very few opportunities against him. We had a shot there in the eighth and he took it to another level, if there is such a thing."
Sabathia had a one-hitter going into the eighth, but the Orioles scored their only run on Lew Ford's single. Baltimore then loaded the bases with one out but Sabathia extricated himself from the jam by striking out Nate McLouth and getting J.J. Hardy to ground out to shortstop.
Sabathia then set down the side in order in the ninth inning.
"I talk about CC as being as one of those big, strong pitchers that usually gets better as the game goes on," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "That's who he is. You think about the eighth inning and that's where we saw the highest velocity all night from him. He has a way of being able to step it up when he gets into a jam."
Sabathia admitted the adrenaline started flowing with the bases loaded and he decided to use it to his advantage rather than fight it.
"I was trying to back off a little bit and not try to overthrow and leave the ball over the plate," Sabathia said. "After I got a couple of runners on, that went out the window and I was back to being fired up and trying to be aggressive with fastballs."
Jason Hammel turned in a solid start while taking the loss. He allowed two runs and four hits in 5 2/3 innings with two walks and six strikeouts.
Neither team put a runner on base until McLouth led off the top of the fourth with a single for Baltimore.
Hammel was perfect until the fifth when New York scored the first run. Mark Teixeira led off with a single, stole second -- the big first baseman had two stolen bases in the regular season, giving him 21 in his 10-year career -- and scored on Raul Ibanez's single up the middle.
The Orioles almost tied the game in the sixth when McLouth hit a drive down the right-field line off Sabathia that right-field umpire Fieldin Culbreth ruled foul. The umpires upheld the call after reviewing replays.
Ichiro Suzuki smacked an RBI double off the fence in right-center in front of the Yankees' bullpen in the sixth inning to increase the lead to 2-0.
Curtis Granderson hit a solo home run for the Yankees in the seventh off lefty Troy Patton, his first of the postseason after going deep 43 times in the regular season. Granderson went 2-for-3 after getting just one hit in 16 at-bats in the first four games of the series.
"That third run is a huge run for us," Girardi said. "For Curtis, the big thing is when he swings at strikes, he is extremely dangerous."
Granderson remained in the lineup for Game 5 while third baseman Alex Rodriguez, the highest-paid player in baseball with a $29 million salary this season, was on the bench.
Girardi pinch hit for Rodriguez in the late innings of Games 3 and 4 and did not want Rodriguez facing Hammel after going 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts against right-handers in the series. Overall, Rodriguez went 2-for-16 with nine strikeouts.
Granderson and Rodriguez weren't the only Yankees hitters who struggled. Robinson Cano was 2-for-22 and Nick Swisher was 2-for-18.
Two Orioles All-Stars also had dreadful series. Adam Jones, widely considered Baltimore's team MVP this season, finished 2-for-23 and Matt Wieters went 3-for-24.
The Orioles had been one of baseball's best stories this year. They took the Yankees to the final day of the regular season before finishing two games behind them in the AL East standings but earned the second AL wild card following 14 consecutive losing seasons.
The Yankees and Orioles split 18 regular-season games and the first four games of the ALDS before New York finally decided things in the final game of the season between the division rivals.
"It's been about much fun as I have had in the big leagues, watching how our players played the game every day, the standard they held themselves to and the way they raised the bar in Baltimore," Showalter said.
Yet the Orioles couldn't get over the bar Sabathia set in Game 5.
"CC is our ace," Girardi said. "That's the bottom line. He has been there. He has done that."

GREENFORD - When trick or treat returns to the village and Green Township on Oct. 31 it will be in addition to the annual costume judging and parade which have been ongoing events.
At the Sept. 18 meeting, Green Township trustees voted to bring trick or treat after a 32 year absence.
It will be held in Greenford and the township from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
The measure was approved after Sue Bowman, a member of the Green Township Volunteer Fire Department ladies auxiliary brought the issue before trustees.
She said some township residents asked to have the door-to-door trick or treat brought back to the township.
The ladies auxiliary will hold the annual Halloween costume judging at the Bobcat building (old South Range school) at 6:30 p.m. followed by the parade.
The South Range High School band will march the children to the fire station after the judging.
The treat bags, filled by members of the ladies auxiliary with candy, gum and little Halloween trinkets such as tattoos or rings, will be given out directly after the judging and cider and donuts will be served at the fire station.
Bowman said, "The trustees buy the bags for us and we use donated moneys plus our own to buy the candy."
She added, "Most people think that the judging and parade will not be held," adding, "we are hoping that maybe bringing back the door-to-door trick or treat that more of the community children will take part in the judging and parade."
Before voting on the trick or treat issue, Trustee Chairman Mark Stepuk wondered about holding off until the following meeting, but others wanted to have time to get the word out.
Trustees approved the measure with a 2-1 with Trustee Dave Slagle voting against it.
He said people would bring their kids to Greenford because the houses outside the village are too far apart.
"I think we should ask some of the residents in Green Township before voting on it," he said.
Trustees felt that by holding it from 5 to 6:30 p.m. there would still be daylight and they also voted to buy trick or treat bags with a 3-0 vote.

Groundhog Day, celebrated on February 2nd, is a popular tradition in the United States.
It is also a legend that is centuries old. Clouded in the mists of time with ethnic cultures and animals awakening on specific dates, this tradition is ages old.
Myths such as this tie our present to the distant past when nature did, indeed, influence our lives. It is the day that the Groundhog comes out of his hole after a long winter sleep to look for his shadow.
If he sees it, he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad weather and returns to his hole.
However, if the day is cloudy and, hence, shadowless, he takes it as a sign of spring and stays above ground.
The groundhog tradition stems from similar beliefs associated with Candlemas Day and the days of early Christians in Europe,
For centuries, the custom was to have the clergy bless candles and distribute them to the people. Even then, it marked a milestone in the winter and the weather that day was important.
The Roman legions, during the conquest of the northern country, supposedly brought this tradition to the Teutons, or Germans, who picked it up and concluded that if the sun made an appearance on Candlemas Day, an animal, the hedgehog, would cast a shadow, thus predicting six more weeks of bad weather, which they interpolated as the length of the "Second Winter."
Pennsylvania's earliest settlers were Germans. They found that groundhogs were in abundance in many parts of the state. They determined that the groundhog, resembling the European hedgehog, was a most intelligent and sensible animal. Therefore, they decided that if the sun did appear on February 2nd, so wise an animal as the groundhog would see its shadow and hurry back into its underground home for another six weeks of winter.
Another February 2nd belief, used by American 19th century farmers, was: Groundhog Day - Half your hay.
New England farmers knew that we were not close to the end of winter, no matter how cloudy February 2nd was. Indeed, February 2nd is often the heart of winter. If the farmer didn't have half his hay remaining, there may have been lean times for the cows before spring and fresh grass arrived.
The ancient Candlemas legend and similar belief continue to be recognized annually on February 2nd due to the efforts of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.

School started Monday, and while last week the construction crews were dashing around putting the finishing touches on the new Sullivan's Island Elementary School (SIES), Principal Susan King was not concerned.
She and her faculty and staff proudly flung the doors open to students and parents anticipating a glimpse of the facility nestled along the shores of Sullivan's Island.
This new schoolhouse is like no other in Charleston County.
While in preparations for renovation, an earthquake readiness evaluation was performed, which found that SIES (and multiple other district schools) failed to meet current code regulations. As part of the Charleston County School District's 2011-2016 Building Program, the 500-student school was rebuilt and will operate as a partial magnet.
The local coastal environment is the theme throughout the entire school as well as part of the magnet learning experience.
Four ecosystems are celebrated throughout the school including the salt marsh, the maritime forest, the beach and the ocean.
Natural light shines through the hundreds of large windows in each classroom and hallway with many areas overlooking the ocean vista. And these aren't your typical rectangular window, many classrooms boast portholes. For SIES, it's about bringing nature inside when the students can't be outside.
In addition, King said the idea behind windows not just facing out of the building but into the halls as well is to promote "whole-school learning" and interaction, rather than just individual classroom learning.
The chosen color palette for the interior reflects blues and greens and sand colors to coordinate with the theme as well.
At then end of each naturally lit hallway are flex spaces for learning, which according to Principal King, is a shift in teaching being seen nationwide.
Balconies line the exterior of the school which can also be used for instruction.
Two learning balconies, with views you can't find anywhere else, will feature electricity and water.
Officials worked with Green Rooftop Outfitters to construct grow containers in which every grade level will play a role in planting and caring for everything from fruits and vegetables to various salt and marsh grasses.
There's a wellness thread throughout the school as well. Special seating to promote learning for grades K-2 is being implemented, much like using an exercise ball as a chair.
A new organic menu has been designed as part of the farm-to-school effort to bring fresh fruits, vegetables and soups to the menu. Kids will enjoy a salad bar, much like upper school students do in their multi-purpose cafeteria/performing arts center/indoor physical education room. Outdoor seating will be made available on the back deck as well.
There are state-of-the-art music and art labs as well as marine science labs.
One of the first things classroom visitors see as they enter the school is the wet lab where a 100-gallon touch tank is featured, among three other tanks of fresh, salt and brackish marine life. Many of the inhabitants of the tank will be caught in the seine by the students of SIES.
The tanks are portable and will be moved to various classrooms each week for purposes of learning not just marine science, but math, journaling and more.
They were donated to the school through a fundraising effort by parents and the community to the tune of $33,000.
The raised building features outdoor class settings on the ground floor for debriefing after a session on the beach and as a space for shaded recreation activities.
The building bustled not only with incoming students, but with excitement from the students about a new learning environment like they've never seen before.

WordGirl is a new animated series that follows the everyday life and superhero adventures of "WordGirl" as she fights crime and enriches vocabulary usage, all in a day's work. Disguised as mild-mannered 5th grader, Becky Botsford, WordGirl arrived on planet Earth when she and her monkey sidekick, Captain Huggy Face, crashed their spaceship. In classic superhero form, WordGirl possesses superhero strength with the added benefit of a colossal vocabulary. WordGirl has a family and friends who have no idea of her secret identity. As WordGirl, she battles and prevails over evil (albeit ridiculous and comical) villains. Each hilarious episode introduces new vocabulary words that are carefully interwoven into silly and fun stories.

LOCKPORT – A Tuscarora Indian Reservation man, already facing a possible prison sentence for having a stolen snowmobile, pleaded guilty to two more charges Friday in Niagara County Court.
David Mount Pleasant, 29, of Mount Hope Road, admitted to third-degree auto stripping for his role in stealing a vehicle from in front of Foley's Bar on Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls on March 11, and to illegal possession of a vehicle identification number for having that auto part on Jan. 26.
He previously had pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property for having a snowmobile that had been stolen in Erie County. Police found it on his front lawn Feb. 16, 2011.
County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas set sentencing in all three cases for Dec. 13. Mount Pleasant must pay $2,500 restitution to the owner of the stolen car and testify against two co-defendants in that case.
