All along the streets, you will see small chairs/stools and tables where food are being sold. Some stalls do not have tables.... hold onto your bowl of noodles and enjoy the same. You can choose either to eat your food standing or sitting on that little stool or use the stool to place your side orders. Food is delicious and special. Have a go !

Street sellers everywhere..... they carry their goods on bicycles or simply shoulder a pole with one basket at each end of the pole. Some will carry their goods on a basket and place it on top of their heads.

With so much of good food around in Hanoi, you ladies there might want to know how much you have put on. Well, step on the weighing machine - it's found along the streets of Hanoi, near the lake or you can even stop one as they push these weighing machines along the streets. If you happened to hear some music playing while you are on the street, its the weighing machine that is "calling" you.

Buildings in Hanoi are tall and slim. Stairways are narrows. Lots of small alleys.

Especially in night markets, you will see young entrepreneurs selling their wares. Innocent looking but you will be surprised that they are streetwise and persistent. Some can be seen just selling a couple of pencils or sweets.

Local Customs: Honk! Honk! Beap! Beap!

Horning is a norm. It's their habit to horn at anything that's on their way. Be accustomed to it. Stay longer in Vietnam and you will be oblivious of the honking and beaping of vehicles.
