HaNoi

HaNoi is an explosion of sights, sounds and smells. It is overwhelming at times and walking down the streets takes great effort. Life is lived on the streets. Everything is done on the streets. And I mean everything. It is amazing what is done. Women set up little fry pans and cook an assortment of items. Food is eaten crouched down on the streets. Haircut stands are there for an instant trim. Crossing the street to an array of bikes, motorbikes, cyclos and cars honk constantly. Women walk the streets with an array of goods to sell--all balanced on their shoulders. HaNoi is almost too amazing to describe in words. It is quite an experience.
