We spent five weeks in the fascinating, beautiful city of Hanoi. Rather than specific sights, the attraction of Hanoi lies in its pulsating streetscape. Motorcycles and scooters throng the avenues, somehow avoiding each other.
Flower sellers are a common sight
People seem to sell things in every possible space
Being picked up at end of the school day
Street vendors wearing conical hats carry their wares on poles or bicycles
Ready for diners in one of the numerous sidewalk restaurants
