Ha Noi
Wonton Noodle Soup = A++ good.
This place is crazy. The traffic is chaos, pure and simple. Motor bikes rule the road, sidewalks, center of stores, and I wouldn't be surprised if people also sleep with them. Seriously. We can't walk down the sidewalks for all the impromptu vendors set up next to the motor bike parking. We can barely walk in the road because of the motor bikes. No one uses turn signals, they just honk...constantly. I've never been in anything like this in my life. I even took a video.
We went to a market today that was, for me, comparable to putting a kid in a candy store. Huge bags of spices everywhere. Anything you could imagine.
Dried mushrooms
I believe this is cinnamon. It's huge. Larger than a cell phone.
Need a hat?
Not sure what this is.

Ha Noi drivers are very skillful - you don't see many accidents in Vietnam, not compared with Thailand and Laos. Thai people will play chicken or drive too fast, and Lao motorbike drivers are so la-di-da. Ten years ago in Cambodia, even the tiniest streets had four lanes of traffic - two of them for the people driving on the wrong side of the road.
I'd much rather cross the street in Ha Noi.
Looks like choreographed chaos!
And that soup looks yummy!
