First Time in Hanoi Didnt Expect This...

First time in Hanoi and it completely caught me off guard. From a quiet morning by Trúc Bạch Lake to the chaos of the Old Quarter, this day had a bit of everything. I walk through local streets, stop at The Note Coffee, explore Hoàn Kiếm Lake, spend time around St. Joseph’s Cathedral and do a bit of shopping. Hanoi is busy, vibrant and very different (much better) than I expected.
