What can be better than a glass of Bia Hoi? Not much.
It's freshly brewed every day and delivered to street vendors throughout Hanoi. 2000 d buys you a glass - that's a whopping 12c (or 6p). So for a dollar you can... Well, you get the picture!

5 hours sitting on a street corner, in a mini plastic chair, watching the world go by.
