Woman in HANOI


Hanoi's Old Quarter in home to all the tourist guesthouses with a cool Vietnamese touch serving excellent bread and cheese for breakfast and to large number of the old Vietnamese generation.

The Lake that rests in the middle of the quarter is just gorgeous looking...you've got the lovers (by Asian standards I thought Vietnamese guys were quite up front and confident), the retired bunch and office gang looking for a mid day break.

I couldn't help thinking that all these old guys were the ones that fought in the war and the women the ones that fed the country throughg those rough times.
They looked very peacefull and contemplative smoking their cigars, reading the comunist papers, playing Chinese Chess...
