Hanoi 'train street'

While taking a custom 3 hour photo tour around the Old Quarter with a couple of local university students, the 'train street' was a must-do as part of the walk. This street has a rail track right down the middle of it and those that live in the houses use the tracks for walking, cooking and playing etc. Twice a day, the locals clear everything off the tracks and get inside their houses while a passenger train rattles through the street, missing the houses, and people, by a few feet.
