Joanna, we stayed almost a week at the Peninsula and loved it,especially the little (but luxurious) boat that crosses the river.Agree with everything Debbie said. Also we know a fantastic tailer there.
In Hong Kong we always stayed at the Regency now known as the Intercontinental Hong Kong on the Kowloon side. Its awesome. Friends have also stayed at the Manderin and loved it.
Never been to Hanoi,sorry.
have a wonderful trip to Africa...you'll love Birkenhead house....we did.
