STREET VENDOR

HANOI, VIETNAM

Image number 881

In Hanoi, no matter where you are, you can easily get anything you need from the street vendors. They can make money by carrying a “quang ganh” (two baskets slung from each end of a wooden or bamboo pole), riding a bicycle or staying on a street corner.    The street vendors are up before sunrise, especially the flower sellers who sell actively at dawn.
