Vietnam Street Life

4/4/2020

​Hanoi is a city of over 8 million people with over 5 million motor scooters Sidewalks are for parking motor scooters, which means pedestrians walk in the street. Once you learn how to navigate the streets, it works very well: more like a dance than walking. Making eye contact, moving slowly and gracefully. No abrupt movements, show no fear and they just swerve around you.  Hanoi street life is colorful, noisy, and fascinating. Exercise and Tai Chi classes take place in the parks. Thousands of people sit on tiny little chairs drinking excellent Vietnamese coffee and chatting at all hours of the day and night. 
Everywhere we went on the trip there were many less tourist than usual. The is because Vietnam gets millions of tourist every year from China and Korea and flights from those 2 countries had already been suspended due to Covid-19.  Very lucky for us in that respect. I will speak more about Covid-19 impact on our trip in a later blog.
