This is my first thread here and I'd like to introduce to you guys about Hanoi, the city where I'm living. I know that it's impossible to depict a city only by a single person. Anyway, I will try to post and give captions; hope that people could have some information about Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. If anybody of you has visited and want to share, feel free to post photos. Here we go, 1. This is a warehouse where people collect things to be recycled, includes steel, aluminum, brass... from those women. They go through streets to buy scrap from each household. In Vietnam, we still do not have different trash bins to separate the waste from beginning. 1404 M2_35F2 Hanoi 07 by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 2. The woman on the left was making fried eggs for the other old ladies. People in Hanoi like to have food right on the street. 1404 M2_35F2 Hanoi 06 by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 3. Again, drinking draft beer on street. 1404 M2_35F2 Hanoi 03 by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 4. A small kiosk to sell cigarettes, beverage, tea... 1404 M2_35F2 Hanoi 11 by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiemchacsu Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks all for your kind words. Yes I will post more photos and hope you guys wont get bored too soon. Those photos were taken by either M2 or M3; lenses were 35/50/90 summicrons. Actually if you look to file names, that information was already there. Cheers, Trung Nguyen 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Carlos, I'm among the young generations of Vietnamese who were born after the war. I also always want to know what the Westerners think about that war, though nowadays the war obsession is quite fade for us, the young group IMHO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiemchacsu Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted June 30, 2014 I switch to another theme: Old residential neighbourhoods in Hanoi During the Soviet era (says 60s - 70s previous century), Soviet Union and East Germany had helped Vietnam to build many residential unit while we were still busy with the Civil War. I guess that were the huge improvement in terms of living condition at that time but at the moment, most of them are in serious deterioration. The City has been trying to demolish and rebuild them but there are still a lot remained in really bad condition. I am giving an example of "Van Chuong residential neighborhood", the place I've visited several times to document it. 9. Here is the facade of a apartment, you can have an idea how old it is. 1207_16_Vanchuong_Fomapan100_2 by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 10. The electricity odometers are located in front of each building 1207_14_Vanchuong_Fomapan100 by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 11. Normally, there is a common playing ground for several buildings. Not so big but enough for kids playing football or guys doing body buider 1207_07_Vanchuong_Fomapan100(F3) by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 12. 1207_05_HP5+_2 by kiemchacsu, on Flickr 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
