Hanoi,
the capital of Vietnam, is known for its centuries-old architecture and
a rich culture with Southeast Asian, Chinese and French influences. At
its heart is the chaotic Old Quarter, where the narrow streets are
roughly arranged by trade.
There are many little temples, including Bach
Ma, honoring a legendary horse, plus Dong Xuan market, selling
household goods.
The Market at Dong Xuan
This market reminds me so much of the Flea Market in Dongdaemun, in Seoul. Another wonderful place to visit if you love Asia and her people.

Fun for all the children of the world with Dr. Dodiddily and the Dee Dot's
A little bit about myself and my Sisters
Kath, (far left) Sylvia, blonde (middle) Dorothy (me far right) Amy (Toni, in front)
Dr. Dodiddily is one of four sisters. First there is my sister Sylvia, she is the eldest and the smallest. Then there is my sister Toni(Amy)
she is two years younger than Sylvia, Toni lives in Kent. The next
one born in 1944 was Dorothy, yes my lovelies this is my real name. I am
three years younger than Toni. One more to come and that is my sister
Kathleen, she is the baby of the family and she is four years younger
then myself.
We couldn never hand our cloths down to each other, we were all very
different sizes, and anyone coming after me wouldn't have been able to
wear anything I was such a tom-boy and thing were worn out long
before Kath could have them.
This is a very old picture of the four of us taken in Coed Poeth in North
Wales, way back in 1952/3. Gosh I am an Ancient Dragon, aren't I ! xxx.
This
is myself and my sisters in 1979 just 26 years later, we are with our
