Sidewalks in Hanoi are for everything but walking. The sidewalks are always a great place for a restaurant. Kind of like a lemonade stand, but the difference is you sit on plastic chairs and buy some beers instead of lemonade. We can't seem to summon up the courage to try one of these "restaurants" yet! Also, if you are having car trouble, you could just stop by one of the sidewalk tire vendors and they will fix it for you for a low price. Who needs parking lots when you have a brand new 10 foot wide sidewalk? It is better than any parking lot! In a hurry? Need to go the other way down a one way street on your motorbike? No problem! Just use the sidewalk...there is guaranteed to be no pile-ups!
Great blog. Evie, Henry and I loved it!
