I picked up the roll of film I dropped off yesterday, and discovered that Vietnam looks great in lomo! The lo-fi aesthetics and the noise captures the grittiness of Hanoi so well. I'm taken back to...
Street corners with framed pictures of their beloved Uncle Ho,
The lovely Hoan Kiem Lake that was always crowded no matter what time of the day,
One of the many Vietnamese women who had a very strong head (and catlike balance),
Walking in the middle of Hanoi roads amongst all of this craziness (love it!!),
This narrow little street that our hotel was on,
Kicking back at the infamous bia hoi corner on little plastic chairs with glasses of 20 cent fresh beer that was insanely refreshing and so easy to drink in 40 degrees heat,
Watching life pass us by,
Eating the tastiest fried
pho and
pho guon on child-size plastic stools in a dingy room filled with locals on their lunch break,
Waking up to this in Halong Bay (and making a rookie mistake of getting my finger in the photo d'oh),
There were some other goodies in the roll too, like this Singaporean cat,
These Asian biscuits that were a familiar sight while growing up,
And being very excited to be lining up for Laduree macarons.
But I think the best photo in the roll is this one hands down!
