I like how Hanoi is preserving its old buildings and not knocking them down like in HCMC.

Similar to Ho Chi Minh City, where you don't see all that many bicycles around any longer. The street food scene continues to boom, to such an extent that some of the Western fast-food chains are not doing all that well. Cheers, OtL

I really don't like food chains at all. Lucky that we have a bunch of local brands.
