đến Việt Nam - Welcome to Vietnam

In Hanoi for a market visit. Always enjoy travelling and seeing the world.
First time in Hanoi (though I've been to HCMC).


Developing countries is always fun.. expect the unexpected...


On the way from the airport to the hotel.. 2 interesting sights caught my eye...








1: The cars on the highway started to brake hard and I thought there was an accident... 


There wasn't...


The cars were stopping because...

The cows/oxes were crossing the road!








2:In developing countries, it is not surprising to see more than 2 persons on a motorbike. Sometimes the whole family (parents with kidS) zips around on one bike, they should be charging people tickets to watch them "perform".


But this is the first time I saw....

A pig as a pillion rider... it would be even more of a sight if it was alive haha..




Hope to try some local food... when the serious work is done...
