Hanoi is very hot and humid because the raining season has just started in June. The humidity is around 90 percent and the temperature is 89 degrees at 8 in the morning. Walking out of hotel room (Flower Hotel) is like entering a sauna, not an enjoyable moment in June.  After the breakfast, I took a 20 minutes walk.  The first few pictures were fuzzy, NOT because of my photo taking skill or the quality of the camera, but because there is condensation on the lens. The camera was in the air conditioned room overnight. 

The street is filled with mopeds and cars, morning rush hour. You have to learn how to cross the street. We were told, “do not run, walk slowly so drivers can anticipate your move. Do not run.  You are safer if you close eyes and walk slowly.”
