Hanoi

From Hanoi To Sapa by train
From Hanoi To Sapa by train
The busy and ever moving central train station of  Hanoi!
Close to the tempel of  literature there's a lot of things to see and do. Get a hair cut on the street. Get some coffee or bun Cha. Or take a look at one of the money colorful paint shops. Got to love the colors! #asia
Hanoi, a city where only the bold pedestrian gets to cross to the other side of the road.

The trick is to walk at a constant pace. The driver will gauge your speed and avoid hitting you as he drives pass.

This place is very known by tourist so it will be very busy when the train comes. Best is to take the morning train. I took the picture more back to the mean road. Most people stay further on the street where the coffee shops are.
