Hanoi is the shit. Everyone will try to rip you off because you're white, my advice is to not worry about paying the guai lo tax, sometimes you will find yourself haggling and then realize, wait a minute, this is 12 cents I'm arguing about. I am jealous about the amount of pho consumption you will take in. I would definately recommend going east to Ha Long Bay, it is incredible, I stayed on the big island for three nights and fucking loved it. You should also try your best to spend 100 US dollars on your last night, it is very difficult and you will be treated like a king.
