Curious Captures in Hà Nội City [Nr. 19]
Chào mừng mọi người,
Almost (lunar) new year! Hanoi is having it's last waves of heavy activity and traffic jams even crazier than normal. But soon, on Friday, it will be new years eve and after that, Hanoi will be quiet and empty. Right now it's grey, cold and rainy. But for once, Hanoians are not complaining about the weather. And when I do, it's; "Đừng lo. Nó là trời Tết". It's what it supposed to be, it's Tet weather!
Scooter Folk
It's a new decade, and this Scooter Folk keeps evolving. New decade, so things gotta go bigger. We have seen plenty of cargo on scooters. Ice, Scooters with scooters on the back, bazooka looking bongs. And now, the army is using scooters to move their vehicles around.
What will be next?
Bad Benches
Luckily this country is not thinking about war at all, with new year around the corner, everything is about friends, family and being close together.
Nice and cozy.
With bác Nguyễn looking over your shoulder.
Vietlish
But in Vietnam, if you are not family and you are young. Better not get too close.
"Mẹ em sẽ giết em"
Only in Asia
Let's get back to some light hearted stuff. What I love over here is how people just do whatever. You might remember the Merce-maha driver. Too bad I didn't have time to ask this next guy his story. Should be epic.
Funny Football Fans
And just as people are not too shy to be full of themselves. It is also true people have no problem with showing their flaws.
Thời gian trôi nhanh. Hai mươi hai mươi rồi.
May we all be honest in this decade, and let's not be afraid of taking credit for being awesome once in a while.
Chúc mừng năm mới!
