Typical homes in the Old Quarter. People live above and behind their stores - this is an extremely crowded area, with one person for every 5 square meters of space.	This is "weasel coffee." Apparently they feed coffee to weasels, and then retrieve and sell the digested beans. Ugh. We were told that the weasels are able to distinguish which beans are the best, and so these are then sold as a premium coffee.	Pig, anyone?	There are bikes everywhere!
Eating dessert in a food market	We've seen some great fish markets, but never one where most of the fish are live!	Live crabs (the ropes are used to clamp their claws)	Pig parts (head and legs)
The French influence still remains - baguettes are sold on the street corners	An example of a family's ancestral shrine. Remembrances and photos are arranged, and this is a place for family prayer.	A view over the city of Hanoi	This sign appears inside the "Hanoi Hilton" prison. There is heavy Vietnamese propaganda inside the former prison.
