Settling into life in Hanoi, Vietnam...the first three weeks.

My new favorite breakfast:

 
Phở (often written pho in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom)




is a Vietnamese noodle soup, usually served with beef (pho bo) or chicken (pho ga).









Street Life seen when eating breakfast





 Exotic fruits and Green Tea Moon Cake with Egg:

Dragon Fruit (Round, often red colored fruit with prominent scales. The thin rind encloses the large mass of sweetly flavored white meat with black seeds, tastes similar to kiwi fruit), Ugly Ponelo (local grapefruit), Moon Cakes are sold/given to celebrate the 10,000 year fesival 10.10.2010.

Hustle and Bustle of the City

Light Traffic, Scooters/Motor bikes are the preferred mode of trasportation.


Many people wear masks due to the dust of new construction.


My prefered way to travel is to take a Scooter ride vs. a cab!

An easy way of life...

...Living the Dream in Hanoi, Vietnam

  1. Correction, 1000 years Hanoi Anniversary celebration not 10,000 years festival :) and mooncakes are for the Mid-Autumn Festival which takes place the eighth month of the moon calendar annually.
