Vietnam: What’s Coming Up?
Dec 29th, 2008 by Steven
So far I’ve shared some glimpses of my visit to Vietnam, or Hà Nội to be more specific. Have uploaded pix of motorcyclists, Hoan Kiem Lake, etc. Not forgetting the ‘conical’ hats which hide the wearers’ faces.
Of course, there’s more in store. I shot something like 600 plus photos. That’s the beauty of digital photography - you just shoot to your heart’s delight as long as storage space permits - unlike film photography where we amateurs would be conscious of the cost factor. And there’s less room for errors; every shot counts.
Anyway, it takes time to go through and select those worthwhile images to be published. So please bear with me. Needless to say, it’s impossible to upload all of the shots. The bulk will stay archived on the back-up media.
That cute-looking taxi is a Korean-made car. Don’t think it’s available in Malaysia. BTW inflation in Vietnam was in the region of 25% in mid-2008. I read that a litre of 92-octane petrol (pumped by most motorcyclists) cost 19,000 Dong (about $1.10) in Feb 2008.
This gives a hint of what’s coming up for the next few postings. Yep, it’s on food. So stay tuned.
