Looking Back

It's not every day on the way to work that I see a car like this parked by West Lake. While this particular Volkswagen was a shiny, pretty much spotless soft-top, the ones it reminds me of were somewhat less glamorous. They received a great deal attention, but the attention was mostly focused on making them roadworthy - we usually left the spots untouched. The kind of roads I see in my daily life around Hanoi, and the traffic on them, never really give me a chance to miss having a car. But, if you're going to have a car, anyplace, having one like this is a great idea!
