Hanoi (Vai Chai), Vietnam

The culture here is fascinating. On the journey from the port to the capital, you might see farmers in rice paddies, bicyclists with ducks tied to the handlebars or women balancing baskets filled with bok choy, oranges and live chickens. Popular sites include an army museum, Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Lake of the Restored Sword.
