Buzzing Hanoi

I went to Hanoi on August 2011. At the airport we were picked up our friend, Ronald. He immediately showed us the best of Vietnam. The first thing we noticed is the exciting feeling about Hanoi. It's green with paddy field on one side, and tall development on the other side. Not only that, we also came across with people carrying kettle in front of the new city development.














The architecture in Hanoi is really amazing too. The city is filled with tall narrow buildings. This is mostly because of the price of land that is rocket high. We can find a mix between colonial style architecture and Khmer architecture.






 The great and at the same time annoying thing about Hanoi is the conjunction between vehicular, motorbike and pedestrian traffic. We continuously had to encounter this excitement. It was scary at the same time. We just couldn't lost guard on where to walk and to cross the street. It was definitely an awesome experience.
