I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Hanoi Street Scenes

 

Have a wooden stamp carved whilst you wait

 

Wonderful arrangement of pipes don't you think?

 
Graffiti

All kinds of things are carried on and sold from a bicycle

 


These shops had dried mushrooms for sale - pooh! The air was "perfumed"


Nothing but towels down this street


Every shop in this street seemed to have the same range of wire racks


The Vietnamese answer to a Betterware Man?

 

Most people wait for the lights to change, but some don't bother.

 

It's normal to see a whole family on a motorbike, and for baby to "drive"

 

Taking the dog for a walk (run), Hanoi style across a busy road junction

 

In the modern city, there are many scenes like this, which could be from the "old days"
The shoe shop assistant has lunch brought in.
