Late night bus rides

The bus ride from Hoi An to Hanoi was 18 hours long and I hardly slept at all. We played cards for awhile and around 10pm, 2 Vietnamese guys got on the bus and sat down right in front of us and were staring at us the whole time, and trying to look into our bags every time we opened them up. We put all of our valuable stuff in Erkka's bag since it could lock, tied it to the seat and put our arms over it, but I still too paranoid to sleep much.
Thankfully the bus was 2 hours late, so instead of being in Hanoi at 6am we got there around 8. 
We found a place to stay and went for a walk around the city.
For dinner we found this place where they give you a mini grill and you cook everything yourselves. 
We were sitting beside a few Vietnamese people and they started chatting with us. They gave us some corn water and some popcorn. The popcorn tasted just like puffy, dried up field corn.
