Hanoi is pretty different from any other asian city I've been to - it's not very "modern," I guess. I remember a lot of minibikes and a fuckload of bicycles from when I went almost ten years ago. be sure to buy a lot of delicious pho from the women in the stalls on the street. Don't take a taxi everywhere you go or else you'll miss out on the essence of the city, which is the teeming masses of people, I feel. Everyone was so... smiley, friendly, happy there! It was a pleasure to soak all that up.
Of course visit Hoan Kiem lake, Co Loa Citadel, and Ho Chi Minh's old moldy remains too if you're into dead communists.
And give some $ to the beggars - they will try to fleece you because you're a tourist, but even so, giving them the equivalent of an american dollar is a lot of money to them and their gain will be 30x your loss.
