An expat staple of Hanoi would it seem be the wine tasting on Friday nights at an off license just around the corner from my Hotel. For the price of a fiver 8 half glasses of a variety of wine are yours accompanied by a few canapes etc. There are more than eight wines, plenty of people and noone talks about wine.
The people you talk to give you tickets that they are not using. The owner gives you tickets. Incentives to leave aren't really there. When they finally come the entrance ticket is exchanged for a bottle of wine.
The weekend would appear to have started there.
Ba chóir go mbeadh sé amhlaidh sa tír seo. Is maith liom an nós áirithe sin.
