Some random photos of Hoàn Kiếm District in Hanoi during my July 2008 visit…
Busy roundabout… with cars, bikes, tricycles and pedestrians on the road
The Hanoi Opera House, which was erected by French colonists between 1901 and 1911
Sofitel Metropole, an iconic 5-star hotel in Hanoi which served various VIPs since 1901…
said to be the most expensive hotel in Hanoi
The State Bank of Vietnam, at Lý Thái Tổ Street
State Guesthouse at Ngô Quyền Street and a nearby fountain
Up close with the dragon-decorated fountain
An uprooted tree near Hoan Kiem Lake
Kentucky Fried Chicken et cetera

Obviously lol. Just checked your Flickr… you have taken some great pictures :)
my favorite photo is the fallen tree, the roots look like an art :p
Lol, the KFC almost looks like a state building itself. Won’t find any chicken stands in anything as elaborate as that in the states. :P
