Exploring the streets of the old quarter- there are 36 streets, each selling a certain product. On one street every store sells silk, another street just shoes, another vegetables, etc. There's some great shopping to be done -- a lot of unique art, embroidery and silk-- everything hand made in Vietnam and very inexpensive. Photo on top: you guessed it- dog. Many places "street food"- cooking on the street and people eat sitting in miniature plastic chairs (sized for kindergartners) or stools. We had some great meals.
