Life Is too Shirt!

We were amused by the slogan on the Ginkgo clothes shop: life is too shirt. A pun on life is too short.

Notice the hart above the shop name. Also the white lanterns in round or tangerine shape as well as the inverted cone style. I have shown coloured lanterns in another post.

You might also note in this photo other features of Hanoi in 2018-9, the uneven square paving stone. the motorbikes are parked on the pavement. The Hanoi coffee shops are every few yards, either ground floor or upstairs.

On looking at the photo again carefully I see that to the right of the shop is one of those dark alleys, which I mentioned in my post on the food tour and toilets.
