Out and about in HaNoi

Two weeks in HaNoi and shot less than twenty pictures. Emily, the crim student traveling with me shot closer to 1,000 in the same time period. Fresh eyes, fresh interest.

I did take these in the first few days. The ever present construction, often using old technology. A Young Pioneer (Vietnamese socialst version of cubs and scouts roled in to one for boys and girls) pondering the carved figures for sale at the Temple of Literature. And of course, the local alternative to McDonald's. Rice burgers for the masses. Interesting the the upscale coffee shop across the street was doing far more business.

HaNoi, Viet Nam

Another two week trip to HaNoi working at the People's Police Academy and UNODC. End of training class photo, one with Hai the translator and I, and Ms. Thau one of the police academy instructors who was also a student. Group pic of the project planning team meeting at the Academy. Daria, the UNODC rep, and Emily, the student traveling with me are in the shot along with two local women from the UN office. It's hard to lose me in the crowd there. Great class, good trip, and wonderful to be home!
