So I am back to writing about being in Hanoi, Viet Nam.
I had decided en route to Hanoi from Tokyo that I would get a pedicure on this trip. I even discussed it with one of the flight attendants on the JAL flight over.
I asked my hotel if there was a salon near us and was told there was one 30 m. away on the corner so went to look. Yes, indeed there was a mani/pedi salon where I saw two Vietnamese ladies tending but it looked like a cash only place and I did not have much on me so wandered off to breakfast hoping to find something nice and reasonable in the neighborhood.
And I did.
It was quite fancy as the photos (and its website) may convey but I paid nothing compared to what you might pay in Japan. Foot scrub + pedicure for less than ¥1,000…!! No tipping either as is the custom…!
