Hanoi west lake

A peaceful café around Hanoi biggest lake. West lake (Hồ Tây in Vietnamese) is the largest lake in Hanoi. It is a place where I like to come and rest. Latmosphere is peaceful and the view magnificent.

A Visit to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

I can imagine Uncle Ho writing in his journal and planning events that would bring the country together sitting at the coy pond just outside the house.  He was a very modest leader who is always pictured wearing smart but comfortable clothes and living in conditions unlike many other world leaders.  He never lived in a castle or mansion.  He preferred a quaint one-story...

La Pharmacie, restaurant

Dans les rues de Hanoi il y a toujours milles choses a decouvrir. Il faut se promener, chercher, ne pas chercher et trouver au detour d un immeuble, au fond d une rue, dans un des nombreux cartiers.
