French Quarter, Hanoi

WHILE WE WERE VISITING HANOI, I READ AN ARTICLE ON THE CNN WEBSITE THAT CITED 25 TOURIST DESTINATIONS IN THE WORLD THAT ARE UNDERRATED. ONE OF THEM IS THE FRENCH QUARTER IN HANOI, A PLACE PREVIOUSLY CHOSEN BY THE FRENCH COLONIALISTS IN HANOI AS THEIR STRONGHOLD. TODAY, IT IS AN OVERCROWDED VIETNAMESE RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS DISTRICT WHICH HAS BECOME SEEDY AND IMPOVERISHED BUT CERTAINLY IS FASCINATING. THE IMAGES IN THIS GALLERY ARE A "WARTS AND ALL" LOOK AT THE FRENCH QUARTER.

Excellent street scenes , Ron, another fine adventure. All of those warts and seediness only add to the feeling of being there with you.
