Old Hanoi

Old Hanoi reminds me of Ho Chi Minh 15 years ago but more cars.  There are plenty of shops selling daily necessities.  Sports shoes shops reminds me of Itaewon in Korea 30 years ago.  The streets have one speciality on each street i.e. shoes street, plastic wares street, jewellery street and the like.  I enjoy walking the streets.  There are plenty of foreigners - whites and Koreans. 

My first meal is Pho or beef kuay teow soup.  The soup is fabulous but the beef is a tad tough.  I had coffee which is extremely rich and delicious.   I am really to try other Vietnamese food.  I loved the Vietnamese food in Toronto.  So I may gain weight this trip as I am going to enjoy the food.
