First of all, this could be interesting to you. If you’re in Hanoi, do pay attention that none Vietnamese are FAT. They are generally ‘fit’ if not skinny.
While many Asian cities have simply mown down their history over the last few decades, replacing it with an influx of ugly modern skyscrapers, Hanoi has simply… well… layered. French colonial influences still stand tall here, with the city having largely escaped the devastating affects of US bombing elsewhere, and left behind colossal mansions and tree-lined boulevards that haven’t changed too much in centuries.
