Hanoi - old and new

3 Feb
Walked to DongXuan market, also in the Old Quarter - the streets around the market are crammed with people selling and preparing all sorts of food.
The market itself has a real mix of stuff - dried foods, stationery, clothing etc etc

Later on, had a look around the newer parts of the city - quite a contrast, but still a million miles from Hong Kong or Taipei. Still didn't find a 7 Eleven - maybe because its an American institution?! In fact, come to think of it, the only fast food chain I noticed anywhere was KFC.
