💰 How far does your money go?
A menú del día in Barcelona now costs €15 or more. In Saigon, €2 gets you a bowl of phở at a street café, and a bánh mì from a cart costs about €0.55. In Hanoi, a plate of bún chả is around €2, and a glass of fresh bia hơi on a street corner costs less than half a euro, a fraction of a caña on a Gràcia terrace.
☀️ The Weather
The two cities have different climates. Ho Chi Minh City enters its dry season in December, with highs of 31-32°C and only the odd late-November shower. Hanoi is cooler and dry, with days of 22-25°C and nights around 16°C in late November and December. Bring a light jacket for the north.
