35/365: Potomac cafe

The cafe is... so so. The best part of it is the location. It is actually a on-a-boat cafe on West Lake. The most impression about Potomac to me was bridge between the pier and the land, which is so lovely with the brown of wood, the green of water-fern, the black of steel frame and the yellow from lamps.

The best time to be here, I think, is in the late afternoon of a cool day. You will have a great view to West Lake while enjoy the wind blowing your hair (if your hair is long enough).

Inside the boat is dining area, so so, not much to say:

But the view from beside the boat is quite interesting, you can catch a duck-cycling-boat from here if you want a trip around the lake with your friends or your partner.

3/5! That is the best mark I could give to the cafe. The location is worth all the mark. But it is a good option if you want to find somewhere which is different to the typical of small, tidy shop like most of the cafe in Hanoi.

33/365: Ete Bar

Too lazy on a Saturday night, I stayed on my chair to take most of the photos here. It was the first time I have been in Ete, small bar on Giang Van Minh st. The bar was nice with tender light and funky music. There is no live music but it is okie to people who choose this place. Gossip time with their friends is what they want.

It was 1st of May, after dinner, Tùng called me to suggest the bar to spend the night. Of course, I agreed and called one other to come. While people were on a long trip for a long weekend. We better go out to enjoy a less busy Hanoi.

Like I mentioned above, It was a long weekend so many people chose to go for a long trip. That is why the bar was not crowded that night. The waitresses was not busy so they had time to show us how to play a trick game and even play another game with Tùng.

In general, the bar was a great hangout place for people with friends where they can talking loud, playing game, watching sport, or having conversations with smart and lovely waitresses.

This lady-in-red-with-an-ugly-glasses named Linh. She is very cute and I was so regret I could not take a better photo of her due to the light which was very hard to manipulate for taking photos. But she gave me a weird nickname so I decided to put one of her not-so-cute photo here as a sweet revenge on her :))

The bar serves western foods and drinks. It closes at 12am.
