Hanoi Street Life at Night - Picture of the week


Hanoi Street Life at Night is my picture of the week. Taken at night during my trip here in May 2010, I was walking around the center of Hanoi heading towards the Old Quarter of town when I came across three Vietnamese ladies selling all sorts of local fruits. The funny thing was that they were seated almost in the middle of the road where motorbikes were seen moving from all directions passing them from behind and in front of them while some stopped briefly to buy some fruits.

I've always loved Hanoi. I think it is a place where you have to be very very good in riding a motorbike to be safe enough on the road. That's why the ladies are not worried.

Jipp, you are absolutely correct with that statement. It's a wonder how they control their bikes there.

Nice photo! The amazing thing about Vietnam is the sheer amount of motorbikes and people who seemed to be able to navigate themselves properly amidst all the chaos.

FM Radio & Fish, thanks for the comment and visit to Malaysia Asia.

Nateniale, thank you and Hanoi is one of the places where you put your road fears to test. The trick of going with the flow seemed to work when I tried it out.
