Vietnam : Hanoï se rêve en capitale mondiale avec sa «nouvelle ère» d’urbanisation – Le Viêt Nam, aujourd'hui

A simple yet memorable dinner with the younger ones by West Lake's rose valley in Hanoi. Eating and laughing, all the tiredness from a long day of exploring faded away. #hanoi #hotay

Found a corner of #Hanoi right in #Brussels. Hà Nội Station doesn't have trains — just really, really good pho. No regrets, no rush ✨

So egg #coffee is a big thing in #Hanoi. It's strong robusta drip coffee with whipped sweetened egg yolks and it's delicious. The thing I wanna know is what are they doing with all the egg whites? There should be a merengue shop on every corner, but there isn't!
Hoan Kiem lake in #Hanoi reminds me a bit of lake Merritt in #Oakland, except lake Merritt doesn't have a giant turtle living in it that once lent a magic golden sword to an emperor.
Made it to #Hanoi! There's a new giant taxidermied soft shell turtle here since I last visited 19 years ago.
