Hanoi, a hive of activity and business; the latter conducted on scooters and bicycles by locals buzzing around the narrow streets of Vietnam's capital.
And for us pedestrian tourists, don't hesitate, just walk!
I pre-booked a photography tour with Vietnam in Focus a week before arriving in Hanoi.
Titled, 'On the Tracks', the tour takes us on the train line—meters from houses and businesses—between Hanoi and Long Bien stations.
Along the way we met a few locals and captured their daily life on the tracks.
