Ladies hanging out in front of what is called an Art Shop, but apparently sells everything but. They were having some sort of hair styling session. Check out the tiny plastic stools. These are very common on the sidewalks of Hanoi.
This is the side of some official building in the old quarter. The colors are really nice.
Apparently bicycles have been replaced by scooters and motorcycles as the transportation mode of choice. It is amazing what can be hauled on the back, front or footrests of these things. "La Vie" is the brand of locally produced drinking water.
Imagine the hustle and bustle of the picture above (honking the horn replaces turning signals, traffic lights and slowing down for all drivers here). Now contrast it with the serenity inspired by the photo below. Just on the other side of the portico is a little haven of greenery and meditation.

I figured out what the ladies are doing in front of the art shop. They are getting rid of grey hair - one by one with a pair of tweezers.
