Deluge

Rain started pouring on Hanoi about 36 hours ago and practically didn't stop ever since, leaving some streets under over 3 feets of water. Going to the office - and getting back from there - has revealed itself rather epic; today however I'm staying at home. Why? Well, Have a look at my doorstep... Not really feeling like paddling in there!

Patronage

Sometimes private companies contribute to the local art scene here, too. You don't see it too often yet, but I think that's actually an interesting way to do indirect marketing! In case you were wondering, this was taken in the Temple of Literature.

Old in new

Skyscraper

There aren't many tall buildings in Hanoi, and this is kind of is the beauty of it all.

Here's one of the very few you will be able to see down here; nothing spectacular about it, except its uniqueness!

Autumn

And I'm back!

In just a month, after two wonderful weeks in France and two other weeks in Vietnam, the summer has gone and has given its way to the autumn. We're not cold, for sure (the average temperatures are still well above 25C) but at least we enjoy some breeze.

Well well, I'm happy to being back to posting on a daily basis - your comments and suggestions are as always super welcome!
