Hi Taniaber!
I was born in Hanoi but been away for a long time! So whenever im back here, im just like an expat (i guess lol)
From my and my friend's experience, basic surviving in Hanoi are:
ability to bargain as some local will try to sell you (as an expat) ridiculous price! So always try to act like you know the market, bargain it down!
Crossing the road and riding the motobike! Motobike is an extremely useful vehicle here, especially in traffic jam!
Thats all i can come up so far! If you want to know some more info abt Hanoi, don't hesitate to give me a buzz! Glad to help

You can't be an expat in your own country. It just doesn't work that way.
