Songs From Haunted Hanoi - Travel Tunes Tuesday

I was walking next to the old abandoned boat restaurants on the tip of West Lake in Hanoi, when I heard a sound.

Was it a ghostly sound coming from some kind of presence that lives on the forgotten, creeky ship?

Nope.

Slowly, the sound was getting louder.

What was it?

It was the parody song of Despacito! In Vietnamese!

Not a scary sound at all!

In fact, it's pretty funny, especially if you watch the video!

If you like the song "Despacito" and if you like laughter, then you'll definitely like this:

1. Đời Anh Xe Ôm ( Despacito Parody ) - LEG

Oh, you want more? Ok, fine... here's something from a couple of days ago, when my computer randomly threw a tantrum like the kind I used to throw when I was 4 years old (karma?). It suddenly decided to rebel.

Out of nowhere, it shut off and refused to turn back on again.

My computer can be such a stubborn little booger.

Pretty scary, considering I had no idea if it would ever see the light of day again, and I also wasn't sure if I could find the piece of paper that I'd written my steemit password on!

So, as my computer was going through surgery at the operating table of the Macbook store in Hanoi, a friendly Vietnamese guy was playing a song that seemed very fitting for my sad mood:

2. HÔM NAY TÔI BUỒN - Phùng Khánh Linh

I have no idea if this is supposed to be a sad song or not, but it sounds like it. I fake cried to the tune of this song in the store. It seemed very fitting.

Isn't this girls voice BEAUTIFUL??? I've definitely played this on repeat the past few days.

And now, one more song I heard in Hanoi...

3. Ngắm Hoa Lệ Rơi - Châu Khải Phong

I could tell you the awesome backstory of this song about how I was sitting in a grab car (the Asian version of Uber) while the driver was swerving recklessly all over the road, seemingly intent on killing me, or maybe just swerving in a drunken stupor.

Or maybe playing that messed up game where you get points for hitting pedestrians and stuff.

But, that would be a lie. I heard this song in a very safe, uneventful drive from one side of Hanoi to the other.

If you stay tuned (haha, see what I did there?) maybe you'll see why I called it Haunted Hanoi.

Feel free to share some of your favorite travel songs in a post with the tag #traveltunestuesday somewhere in the tags!

Original post with guidelines is here. But let's be honest, the guidelines aren't really that strict, because I can't be bothered with rules and attention to detail.

Or, if you're from Vietnam, share some of your favorite songs! I'd love to listen while I'm here :)

I think you guys have some good music!
