Hanoi – Vietnam
Hanoi Streets
After 3 weeks of rushing around Cambodia and Vietnam it was to be the final stop in Vietnam for 3 days. On arrival the intensity of the city hits you instantly, traffic going in every direction at all time, seemingly in complete chaos at first glance, and of course, thousands of motorbikes everywhere.
After a few days the chaos became fun and interesting, to cross the road you just slowly but purposely walk out and the traffic is [generally] happy to dodge you!
Our first lunch was spent in a tiny little restaurant with some really fun rooftop decorations in the shape of old bird cages and lanterns.

It never got old seeing what the local Vietnamese people could strap to their motorbikes!

The insanely complex and twisted lines sum up Hanoi pretty well for me
