Blood Makes Noise.
Arriving in Hanoi I was not prepared for the pollution that seemed to smother the city. It was like looking through a gray, dingy pair of goggles. We drove for a while before crossing the Nhật Tân Bridge over the Red River, with its five cable-stayed towers representing the five ancient gates of the fabled city.… continue reading Read More
