Hanoi Hanoi and Siem Reap

Dear VT Friends,

I am quite new to Hanoi and have several questions.

1. Hanoi

- Where's the best restaurant where I can eat authentic Pho Ga?
- I need to buy crumpler bags, can you recommend a reliable store along Hoan Kiem?
-If you can share places of interests aside from those regular posted in the internet...

2. Siem Reap
I plan to visit Angkor Wat one of these days and I've been looking at Viet Air Hanoi-Siem but it does not register in the site.

- what is the most affordable way to go there given limited time (2days probably)
- Can you recommend affordable hostels in Siem Reap (clean and secure place)

I know I posted a lot but my thanks in advance to those who can offer advice. Many thanks and Cheers!
Frenny

Hi!

I just came back from a trip from vietnam to siamreap (cambodia).
You can fly from HCMC to SR by vietnam air, you can see details in their web.
I went from HCMC to SR by direct aircon bus that Sinh Cafe organized it cost USD.20 for 12 hours, I bought bus ticket in Sinh Cafe Hanoi. In SR, I stayed at "Bousavy guesthouse", it's a nice budget guesthouse, you can see it in their web.

Cheers,
-atta-

I think the most authentic place to eat Pho Ga is on the street - find one of the places on the sidewalk with the little plastic stools (if it's good, it will be crowded!) and dig in! There are a ton of places like that all over the old quarter.
