Not just in China they eat Dogs

Walking the streets of Hanoi, you can discover quite some special details living here. Life basically happens on the streets, seemingly vietnamese people hardly need any sleep going to bed late and getting up in the early morning. Around the Hoan Kiem Lake you can witness how the women manage to stay slim: 6 am and 8 pm at various corners of the lake there are Aerobic sessions taking place. At every corner you have these small kitchens where people sit on little red and blue plastic seats drinking coffee or tea all day long, eating rice and noodle soup. On some menus you can order rat and dog meat in all kinds of flavours. Seeing the roasted dogs and rat on the sticks over the fire somehow stopped my appetite.
In the evening, the lake is especially dominated by sweet young couples spending their evening time together on one of the various benches. Around the main attractions of the city, there are professional photo shoots for wedding dresses. They must expect quite a big hype within the coming season. Observation completed.
