Hanoi Misc.


Hanoi is a modernising city.  Modernising very fast.  All Cities are beginning to look and feel the same to me.  But, hey, no McD or KFC......yet!!!   But here are a few identifiers.  The first is an opposite, an exception.....an empty road.  You could actually see the tarmac and only one pedal cycalist!!!!



And these, so called rocket house  Very distinctive.  Some only 10/12 feet wide but 4 storey.  And usually stand alone.  There are also tube houses,  not dissimilar to Singapore the Shop houses....thin and deep.


They are also found in the countryside where the same type of land titles apply, inspite of the availablity of  land.  Hope this contiues so that the productive fields are not concreted over.  Food post later.


This is Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum.  Does it look like a Lotus flower to you?  Completely ignoring the poor man's request not to do......they did.  This for a man who lived in a wooden house in the Pesidential Palace grounds!   Go figure.


Love this house.  Fancy living there.  Yes, please.
