On this trip we discovered that happy hour at the Angelina bar in the Hanoi Metropole is one of the best deals in town - great value for money to enjoy drinks in an ultra luxe setting at one of the world’s grand old hotels.
Happy hour is from 4-7pm and is 2 for 1 on drinks. If ordering cocktails you can mix and match. But if ordering other drinks you need to have 2 of the same. I had the Lady Mandarine and Cherry Sour cocktails. Both were excellent
Please don’t feel attacked! My sister and I fondly remember spending a weekend in Paris circa 2005 when Hips Don’t Lie was playing incessantly. I actually took a little video clip in this Hanoi bar while the song was playing, sent it to my sister with the message: why do you think I’m remembering you now? And she was like “Paris! Hips Don’t Lie!”
I went to Costa Rica in December of 1993, every bar played the same lively dance tune every 6th or 7th tune for all 4 weeks I was there. Loved that song. I have never heard it since I left but if I heard it today it would take me straight back to Manuel Antonio Parque and shots of Ron Centenario on the beach. I love how songs can take you back in time.
In my most impressionable teen years, Red Red Wine was a yuuge hit, and played all over Yurp. Fond memories of jamming out to it on an island just off the coast of Koloçep in the 80s.
I never got the name. I think it was by a Costa Rican artist/group.
I tried to find it on the primitive internet of 1994 when i returned to the States, but failed.
I can’t hear it right now, i am having lunch at la Bouganvilla in Malaga. The place is jamming! I will listen to it as soon as i get to a quieter spot.
