Hanoi - Old Quarter

I met a woman, from Germany with her children, who had lived in Old Quarter during 80's. We were in a car-tour around Old Quarter and she told me a story everytime passing through a street, each street with a specific marchandise. I felt like back in the past. These days, with the market economy, everything seems changin so quickly. In Hanoi's Old Quarter, people from every corners came over for earning a living, Hanoian is no more original hanoi-born, people seems not the same as before, that makes me always nostagie about the past. 
On contrast with the glumbby Old Quarter, there is French zone. During French domination period, Hanoi was like a second Paris, with occidental architecture.



Nowaday, people living in old quarter in small space, some dirty and lack of sunlight, but people stay there for many reason, some for traditional craft business or some for a lifestyle ^_^
