In Indonesia it is happening a lot as well.<BR/><BR/>In Eastern Europe, I noticed that there were still many traditional markets that had been relocated into newer buildings, but still maintained the old market atmosphere. Selling traditional foods, the one on one interaction with stallholders, haggling, fresh fruit bought in from local farms. Maybe this would be a better approach to take, balancing the old with the new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-12140012057234390372009-01-22T09:39:00.000+07:002009-01-22T09:39:00.000+07:00Anonymous, you are right.Ajue Malaysia , tuvancong...Anonymous, you are right.<BR/>Ajue Malaysia , tuvancong2003@yahoo.comVan Cong Tuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588216588419216202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-31793565888696009942009-01-16T22:56:00.000+07:002009-01-16T22:56:00.000+07:00From the last photo: thit cho song? the mind boggl...From the last photo: thit cho song? the mind bogglesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-50548272711171426232009-01-15T01:21:00.000+07:002009-01-15T01:21:00.000+07:00This is a bittersweet issue that you bring up.

Just five short years and there were buildings and bridges that exist now where there were only fields and rivers - even golf courses in Da Nang! But I agree with you in that shiny new buildings and paved streets do not necessarily equate to progress. The hardest part for us was the pollution and the disparity with which the people we spoke to expressed. "There is no tomorrow only today, so let's just enjoy today" was the attitude amongst many young adults we spoke with in the city. It was indeed disheartening to hear those comments and see the ever widening gap between the rich and the poor. <BR/><BR/>I wish we had been able to met up with you on our last visit, to chat and to get to know more about the city, but I guess that will need to be saved for another time. Great job on this blog. It's always very interesting to read your posts and to get insight from a person that is living through these changing times. Hopefully the new year will bring to you the best of luck and the happiest of times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-67153000408321503122009-01-14T04:25:00.000+07:002009-01-14T04:25:00.000+07:00In one more year Hanoi will be 1,000yrs old, that ...In one more year Hanoi will be 1,000yrs old, that is peronsally special even for non hanoian viet overseas like me! Something to brag about like its yours :) 8yrs of change seem modest so far, now i dont' want full speed ahead, but i'm seeing changed in behaviours that mean something for the next 1,000yrs.<BR/>As such VnExpress would report on the bad mannerism that hanoian treat their flower garden, or the brazen corruption on the streets of hanoi, it's the little things that will ripple a society for better or worst but it has to happen. Now what can we do about hanoi's traffic?, to West it's a death defying act just to cross the street, do i want to hear about that for the next 8yrs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-641546924592658552009-01-13T22:40:00.000+07:002009-01-13T22:40:00.000+07:00I agree with Anonymous.

Now, I’m back home and I’m shocked to experience all of the changes in Hanoi after 8 years being far away. Many, many places have changed, but Hanoi still remains Hanoi. Hanoi is so charming because it is a city of contrast. It is interesting to follow its mutation from the old into the new. <BR/><BR/>So, what do you think?Zoom Lehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974782818830386790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-44294279112031805182009-01-13T19:41:00.000+07:002009-01-13T19:41:00.000+07:00YES! change is good.

LOl.<BR/>I am 10.000 miles from where you are, & america used to have local chicken coop/butcher on every street and that was 1960s, today when you talk to 50-60yrs old american, thats how they remember it. Today the street is cleaned, smoking is ban, human pollution is minimal, we'll try to keep human pollution minimal.Humans will alway pollute, dont let culture be an obstacle of what is obvious in sight. it's a small step, even if Vietnam is as modern as Japan, there's are fews things about japanese that makes people's forehead wrinkled, called it custom, culture, whatever preservation, as a vietnamese i am sick of the western views about us eating snake, dogs, and other oddities, the less sightful we are to the world the less they talk about. Its as bad as watching Korean do african american music, that is if vietnam is as modern as korea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-11528449525595583832009-01-12T16:08:00.000+07:002009-01-12T16:08:00.000+07:00Hi...glad to know and read ur blog...i'm ajue from...Hi...glad to know and read ur blog...<BR/><BR/>i'm ajue from malaysia...would like to ask help and information from you about Hanoi and Vietnam as whole (any opinion, suggestion).
