Arrived in Hanoi

Today we arrived in the capital city, Hanoi, after a short one hour, 20 minute flight from Danang.
On the way to the Danang airport, Brad got these great shots of this woman on the motorbike.  I was exhorting our taxi driver to please slow down, while praying for the woman to speed up, and all the while traffic is honking and going around us every which way...

Two chickens hanging down at the front...zoom in to see what else...
Greens in a bag at the back, with ducks - how many ducks in total?

We're staying in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, and it seems like it's more walkable than Ho Chi Minh City was, or even Hoi An. Or maybe we're just getting used to it. On our evening walk to the lake we didn't encounter the crossing the road terror and around the lake there's a walkway for pedestrians only.

If you're wondering what all the fuss is about, have a look at this interesting article and 3 minute video called Why Did the Tourist Cross the Road?
