Photo Gallery 43: Vietnam - Hanoi
We crossed into Vietnam at the Nam Xoi border crossing, and headed via Thanh Hoa
to Hanoi. Being back in a big city after the tranquil pace of northeastern Laos was something of a shock,
but I was soon captivated by the intense street life of Vietnam's now-booming capital.
