Ho Chi Minh's Stilt house

Probably the loveliest house I have seen so far in Vietnam. No Chi Minh lived here from 1958 to 1969 and it symbolizes his modesty and gentle dedication for his nation. The wooden house is simple, airy and filled with light.
The pollution level is very high in Hanoi, and it is really bothering me as I have a terrible cold. I am staying in the old quarter and cars and motor-scooters are everywhere. As they park them in tight rows along the narrow sidewalks you have to walk in the street and take your chance. If there is a little strip of sidewalk remaining, it is generally occupied by families and businesses cooking and eating there meals.
