The Vertical Houses of Cuenca

What I noticed, immediately, is that to take photos of Cuenca you have to look up. All the way. Crane your neck and hold your camera vertically above your nose.

At that point, you can really see what it’s all about.

The rice has to soak for 5 hours, then finely ground three times to make the perfect flour for these rolls stuffed with minced beef, mushrooms and onion. Banh cuon bah hanh. That’s their name, and you should go to the tiny restaurant right next to the Cinnamon Cathedral Hotel in Hanoi. Unforgettable!
A huge stick insect! We only explored a tiny corner of Vietnam’s nature but saw so many incredible insects 🤯
We were in for a surprise in Cuc Phuong National Park..... millions of butterflies! Butterflies everywhere, of every kind... we finally discovered what inspired European butterfly gardens: Vietnam!! I took some cool shots with the camera but this one was with my phone - they were so intent on feeding on the soil’s minerals that they didn’t even fly away 🦋
Banh Mi. Another of our recent discoveries in Vietnamese cuisine. Yes, it’s a sandwich. But it’s a surprising sandwich, with two types of meat, pate, picked veggies, chives and cilantro. And I do love cilantro. When you take that first bite, the flavours are so different yet so balanced..... that you have to eat more. And then order another one, to make sure you really understood the deliciousness of this traditional vietnamese dish 😌🥳
Last photo for today - the calmness of this scene made me stop and stare. Can you see the woman at the base of the trunk?
Traffic in Hanoi flows. In every direction, constantly beeping, but it flows. And to walk in or through it, you have to study the currents, keep your eyes open and flow into it. No stopping or darting or running or screaming: only flowing will work!
Omg vietnamese food. Omg. This little place was 120m from our hotel and we can’t believe how lucky we are to have found it so close!
Offerings at a buddist temple like a painting by Monet 🍊🥬🌼
One Pillar Pagoda at the Ho Chi Minh Complex in Hanoi. One of the cutest I’ve ever seen... wish my pond would look like this at home! #lifagoals
