A view of Hanoi's Old Quarter area. It has a history that spans over 2000 years and started as a snake and alligator-infested swamp. It later evolved into a cluster of villages made up of houses on stilts.

A typical roadside stall in Hanoi, Vietnam. You can get vegetables, fruits, noodle soups, drinking waters, beers etc. from road stalls like this.
