Hanoi Stories by Pam Scott

Is it possible to fall in love with the city? Especially the city of Hanoi where motorcycles outnumber the people and you cannot tell if the meatballs in your bowl of noodle are made of pork or dog?

Pam Scott, an Australian writer, has an interesting response in her "Hanoi Stories".

After three brief business trips to Hanoi in 1993, Pam became enamoured with Hanoi, Vietnam's intriguing capital. A year later she made a permanent move to Hanoi and has never looked back. What Pam discovered was an interesting, challenging, wonderful way of life - an intriguing blend of East and West mixed Vietnamese style.

In "Hanoi Stories" Pam reveals an unexpected side to this city, and of the people she came to know and love. During her time in Hanoi, Pam moved outside the cloistered expat world and became involved in the lives of everyday residents - cyclo drivers, postal workers, university students, ordinary families.

"Hanoi Stories" is an unforgettable insight into the charms of this vibrant city and why, once you've visited, it will always be a part of you.
