First impression of Hà Nội… chaotic.

The traffic was quite disorganised by modern standard, the road users had strong tendency to use their horns, and the streets were packed with all kind of vehicles… with the motorbikes clearly stood out as the main transportation in the city…

Some people might call that as ‘buzzing’ and ‘happening’… for me, it’s a bit too chaotic to start with. Well, it’s part of the travel and cultural experience I guess.

Sharing a few photos taken during the taxi ride from Noi Bai International Airport to my hotel in Hoàn Kiếm district, but the pics couldn’t really reflects what Hanoi was about…
