Just to give you an idea of how crazy busy Hanoi is right now, during the "1000 nam Thang Long (One Thousand Years of Thang Long)", the 1000th anniversary of the establishment of Hanoi as the capital of the Vietnamese state. these shots were taken on and around Dien Bien Phu street, one of the most heavily decorated streets during the celebrations. "Thang Long" was the original name of Hanoi all those years ago.
