Backpacker hostels are the cheapest accomodation + free Wi-Fi, air con, often free
breakfast, laundry (etc)   Go Ogle.  Base price is US$120 for 30 days ($4 per night)

Bus fares usually >30k dong, meals >50k, Beer, Cigs about $1 per pack.

Simply type in 'cost of living in Hanoi'.   You will be surprised...

Thank you so much for such detailed information Bazza 

However I thought the monthly fees for bus fares will cost around 200,000 VND in Hanoi, isn't it? Or can foreigners enjoy that special price?
