Orchestrated Chaos

---

My hotel is situated in the Old Quarter of Hanoi and I would say that it is definitely orchestrated chaos. Millions of motorbikes driven by Vietnamese vendors heaped high with a vast variety of general goods in quantities of massive volume. The sidewalks appear to be for parking motorbikes and setting up shop wherever the salesman/woman is inspired. There are 36 streets. Each street originally designated for a particular product affording patrons the opportunity to compare quality and price.

On the Way Home
These guys, look close, after working in the fields. Check sharp tools over the back of the third man, and in a cage between the drivers legs, a LARGE RAT, LIVE, destined to be dinner

Balance is the Key
Where there's a will, there's a way
