After featuring Pnom Penh, the NY Times Travel section now published a review on another Southeast Asian city: Hanoi, Vietnam
On the piece “The Awakening of Hanoi” the writer described Hanoi with these words:
A stylish, European-influenced metropolis with manicured lakeside promenades, tree-lined boulevards, ancient pagodas and French-colonial buildings painted in a peeling palette of jade, turquoise and burgundy.
Located at the northern part of the country, this current capital of Vietnam was once was was the capital of North Vietnam from 1945 to 1976 and home to about 3 million people.

Hi there! I’m Rcon Pascua, 22, writer, who also loves to travel around exotic destinations, particularly Morocco. Hanoi, Vietnam is, indeed, a fine, stylish city that is mostly established and developed under a European influence.
