Your comment about the cables being buried is the one huge thing that makes all the difference compared to most of the other SE Asian cities, but the sound of the horns...a never ending nightmare that stopped me returning to Hanoi! It was no better in other parts of Vietnam too.
Great write-up and photos as always. Have a wonderful weekend and safe travels :-)
I'm amazed that I find the cacophony of horns interesting. Maybe because we only stayed in Hanoi for a short time. If we stayed longer, I might have been fed up by the sounds.
Thank you so much! Have an awesome weekend to you, too!
