I spent two days in Hanoi, still one of my favourite cities. Hanoi is not very modern, meaning there aren't many gleaming skyscrapers, but that's the charm of the place. Chaotic traffic, with still a majority of motorbikes compared to cars .... A distinct French colonial feel to the buildings and boulevards .... And great cuisine. Actually the French influence on the Vietnamese lives on very prominently in their breads and croissants. Simply heavenly.
I was in Hanoi to speak at a CIO conference and meet some customers. I won't bore you with the details of the conference itself, but I think you guys might be interested in what we were treated to at the post-conference Gala Dinner.
Hmmmm, I suspect this may bring up the visitor hits on this blog ...(remember to turn up the volume)
In case that video clip was too quick for you, here are a few still shots ...

Well, that's it for Part 1. I'm still in HCMC till this evening, so can hopefully I bring you some updates later in Part 2 of this posting.
