Is it very hot in June to visit Vietnam, in particular Hanoi?

Previous trip was in December so it was quite cooling.

Just finished my travel in danang. Bought 3 sim cards online. end up only used 2.
Viettel used on my daughter's ipad seems to have issues with sharing hotspot.
Echo networks used on my phone can do hotspot with no issues. Speed also ok.
One thing i realized is opening attachments/photos in wechat is slow as compared to whatsapp in Danang.. not sure why is that the reason.
U carry vnd yah. Can't pay with cards?

usually u all go back Vietnam yearly

is go hanoi or hcm?
Some tie in with their children's school holidays or year end leave clearance.

For me, when I feel the itch to have a change of environment, simply fly Friday, back Monday.

Did this year-to-date 6 times. Ticket is cheap, hotel use loyalty points.

HCMC, Hanoi, Danang, Hue, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Dalat a bit sian.

Then went on to crossing borders for fun.
Vietnam-Cambodia, Vietnam-Laos, Vietnam-China.

5G pretty good in cities and highways. So can work on-the-go.

Central Highlands is my next goal.

I don't bring him to VN. He has grown up on his own. I travel myself.

He is 25 now. First travelled when 6 months to Paris. Weve done most things

Now is my time.
