We departed from Sungai Nibong Bus Station to KL~LCCT airport.
Unfortunately,on the way to KL, the damn bus which we took was got problem and we had to wait the bus driver drove for repair. We really dont knw the bus driver drove the bus to repair, we thought the bus will direct to Puduraya. It really delay our time to go airport. The bus driver point back the arrow to us that we havent tell him that we are rush to airport. But the bus driver should tell us what he want to do, is not just direct go for repair without inform all the passenger. It was 5am. Our flight were at 6.30am. We have to check in before 5.50am. So, we asked the bus driver drop us at a taxi station. Now, the taxi driver knew us were rush to airport, then they asked us to pay a high cost. During bargain, a stupid woman who also wanted to go airport with us, told the taxi driver that we rush to airport and asked the taxi driver gave us a proper price..Hey,aunty..the people knew u are rush, they will try to gain more money from u, try to increase the price la...Then, no choice..we still have to took taxi to LCCT airport. When we reached airport was 5.45am already. Finally, we still on time to check in.

8.30am, we reached at hanoi airport. Malaysia time is 9.30am(Hanoi time is lag behind 1 hour).
Then, we took a taxi to hotel. We stayed in Fortuan Hotel. I really dont like the person in charge in that hotel because when we havent take any tour package from him, he served us very friendly. After we came back from the tour and still stayed in that hotel, he totally changed his attitude. It may be because of the tour package we took were quiet cheap and not really earn a lot. That is what i guess, but the real reason i dont knw...The first day, we planned our trip for the following day. The rest time, we walked around the city.
