I recently had a long layover in Seoul and took the train into the city to wander for the day. With twelve hours, I did what I love most: explored a new city on my own, wandered down alleyways, hunted for street art, and got lost.

Scenes from Vietnam
As you weave through the traffic of Hanoi, you become one with it.
Returning to Hanoi (and Giving a City Another Chance)
