Asia - Vietnam - Hanoi - 3 Blind Men en route to Hanoi
 |
Doll delights These little statues have so much colour, one of my favourite photos |
 |
Temple Turtles This was taken at the Temple of Literature dedicated to Confucius. Each turtle is dedicated to those who received a doctorate from studying at the temple by 1442. |
 |
Coffeeshop view I was with Gemma and Erica at a great coffee shop rest station. Perhaps not taken at the peak of traffic, but it gives you an idea of the area |
 |
Gemma hat Gemma trying to be a local with a strw bonnet |
 |
Red bridge Located within Hoan Kiem Lake towards Ngo Son Temple. Legend has it that the lake is home to a golden tortoise that stole a sword from the invading Chinese |
 |
Roof dragons I love the detail even on the rooftops of the Temple of Literature. Lind of look like swimming creatures! |
 |
Street barber shop The service is just right as their rent is non-existant and you're the only one around! |
 |
Narrow buiding Apparently the house tax is based partly on the width of the building, so this place will be one of the most desirable places in town!! |
 |
Vietnamese Chess As all the moto drivers wait for passing jobs, bets are placed on the ongoing chess games |
 |
Moto traffic It's hard to imagine that just 7-8 years ago motos were rare and bicycles were the biggest mode of transport! |
 |
Me in traffic It gets your heart going when you're in the middle of it! Always cross with care, i.e. slowly |
 |
Dancing Divas I couldn't quite get the right light, but these ladies used the Vietnamese conical hats to accentuate their dance for the upcoming 'Ladies Day'! |
 |
Lottery ticket sales All you need for an office is a plastic chair, a card table and a few lottery tickets! |
 |
Eyes on the road? |
 |
Street food and mini stools |
 |
Boats The harbour at Halong City is taken over with large 'junk boats' |
 |
Halong Bay Finally, my most desired sight for Vietnam. 3000 islands...on the edge of a storm! |
 |
Halong Bay It's amazing how these limestones formations have been created over the years |
 |
Halong Bay Slightly phallic and a reminder of my 'lack of' situation. |
 |
Fishing Village Life on the water: everybody has 1-3 big dogs, 1-3 kids and 1000 fish in the nets below |
