Hanoi, city of many lakes

by Wild_Orchid - last update: Mar 26, 2008

The country of Ho Chi Minh

Hanoi

Everyone has his own idea of Vietnam. To some, it is a place of danger and fighting - as depicted in the Rambo war movies. To others, it reflects communism. Yet others recall that this was once a French colony.
To me, Hanoi is a charming city, where old and new sit side by side. It offers many possibilities: chance encounters with history, hints of romance, the irony of socialism and most of all, a strong proud people moving on to embrace a new world full of economic possibilities.

The landscape is changing quickly due to development - you may wish to come, to see, feel and hear Hanoi before she changes.

 Hey girl -- The star apple actually tastes very good. It's very sweet and juicy -- You should just eat the inner, juicy, translucent flesh, not the green or white part -- that part really tastes horrible...
