Re: Hanoi vs Ho Chi Minh City - where's best for what ?
If I had time for just one of the cities, I would choose Hanoi, mainly for the culture and sightseeing as described in that post. Prefer northern food, too.
But for living, it's all about HCMC!

I much prefer living in Ha Noi, apart from the crap weather around Tet.

Ha Noi for me if you can only visit one.
Laid out in a grid system so easier so explore on foot, nightmarket is huge, lake front in packed in the evenings as are the numerous streets with plastic stools & beer as little as 35p a 568ml pint pro rata...just don't expect to wake up head ache free.

Street life in HCMC; night-walking in Bui Vien Street.
