notes from old hanoi in winter

6 years after we our visit to saigon, hanoi is:
  • like europe's shabby chic, but the lingo is incomprehensible
  • and like bangkok, without the extreme squalor 
  • peds mopeds cars and vans share the roads democratically
  • so the air is thick with gasoline fumes and cigarette smoke
  • they like their dogs little and in clothes
  • and they really like to sit on low stools at roadsides to eat
when we get back home we will need to re-train ourselves to cross the roads with more respect again.
