Good stuff. Very interesting. I'm almost next door but have never made the trip.

Now I am very tempted.

Compared to the lower East Side in Vancouver B.C, this ain't so bad. Peter

I should clarify that the city has been developed quite fast these years though still lots of things to do.

May be I should pause the section of old residential areas for a while and shift to a more beautiful Hanoi. Like I said in the first post, it's nearly impossible to depict the city by only myself!

So, I'm here again to show you color faces of the Van Chuong residential area; after this I will move to another theme

20. Hanoi in Feb/March is very humid. The weather is sprinkles and drizzle all day. Thus, one rare sunny days, people will hang clothes everywhere

27. Right in the center of old quarter. Foreigner folks seem enjoy this area a lot and so do I. In the afternoon, guys and girls spread on the street to drink beer and chatting

... love 30 and 31 ... the line and composition in general and the visual vitality of the little girl in 31 is splendid

These are wonderful! May I ask what film you are using? The color looks like Portra 400.

Regardless of the film, the images are terrific, which is all that really matters. I was just curious.

18, 23, 24 31. I like all your pictures very much, but mostly when you go close to the people. It's ok if they pose a little.

Cheers!

I have an advantage that I can communicate with them sometimes before taking photos, that's why I can reach quite close to them.

Vietnamese people in general is still ok when being taken photos FYI.

Number 30 is my favourite and i grew up on that street. I know the woman on the left personally! 🙂 Love the series so far.
I took a trip for 12 days back to Hanoi last month. I would like to share another view of the charming city.

Hanoi International Airport - Late night flight

Leaf Hat - The Vietnamese Conical Hat
This is still very popular due to being very effective against heat.

Vietnam is on top of my list of countries to visit. A couple of friends from your beautiful country have really made a sincere impression and a desire to go explore and meet the people in your country.
