Colors of Hanoi.

New Year’s Day is approaching: Têt Nguyên Dán is the Vietnamese New Year’s Day, and the streets of Hanoi are adorned with bright colors with lanterns, red ribbons and gold and other decorations. The city center is extremely busy and it’s a real challenge to make your way between the thousands of scooters, cars, delivery men, pushers. I’ve even seen a local neighborhood walk around dog in the middle of a junction at rush hour.

Soon the Vietnamese new year.

A group of friends came to take the photo “jumping” of the century in front of the cathedral and they do not stop doing jumps until all this world is “synchro” and so the photo is perfect.

Hanoi is crossed in its center by the rails of the train which occupy most of the street. The inhabitants of these streets have a breathtaking view of the train and it is part of their daily lives. He cooks outside a few centimeters of the rails and their doors of entrance and living room overlook the tracks. Some between two passages of the train have even “squatted” the spaces between the rails to deposit objects or grow some herbs.
