Vieux Quartier de Ha Noi, avec captions.
View from 15th floor of the Hanoi Sheraton
Looking down "Onion Street" in the Old Quarter
French colonial architecture persists in Hanoi
The Red Pagoda on the lake near our hotel
A local and two tourists taking a break
Crossing the street? Walk slowly, and keep your wits about you.
Moto-taxi drivers gossiping in the shade
Everyone in Hanoi owns a scooter, or is saving to buy one.
Bored salesgirls biding their time at the market
War memorial commemorating victory over the Japanese
The old east (?) gate to the Old Quarter
Bienvenue, etranger!
Another shot of the gate
The iceman is on the job.
Bamboo mats and screens for sale: the stares are gratis.
Chilling on his scooter
More scooters than cars. Caveat pedestrian!
Each street in the Old Quarter is named for a good or service.
Two girls in an alley, pushing a bike.
