MARI'S TRAVELS WITH HER CAMERA 
Great interpretation of the theme Mari – I especially like that second photo 🙂 And noting your comment to Jo above about whether such scenes are a thing of the past in Hanoi, I would say based on my 2019 visit that they are not. In the old part at least life seems still to be lived on the streets, food preparation not excepted!

So the money isn’t filtering down to the people after all?
I wonder why I even thought it might!

Quite possibly. But it’s also possible that this is a lifestyle they’re so accustomed to that even with more money they would choose to do many activities on the streets?

Now I’m getting two notifications from you when you make a comment, one in Google’s Priority email section and one in the Social section! Feast or famine as my old Mum used to say.

I don’t think I ever could – at least not since I was a toddler!

That’s also a great shot of everyone on their phones – the odd person on any train nowadays is the one reading a book!

Love the little lady in the tin hat! How on earth do you prepare food squatting like that? 🤔💗

And have you noticed the sewer grill to her left? Maybe it’s the smell that keeps her upright? Mind you, I think Hanoi has come a long way since I took this picture in, I think, around the turn of the century. Hopefully, scenes like this are a thing of the past.
