Buying Pressies in Hanoi















Found a street full of Stamp makers (in the old quarter the streets traditionally had one occupation or craft in them, and this continues today)














Made a deal with the guy (read i got stung when i thought i was showing my stunning bargaining skills-not)

The speed with which he made the stamps was amazing (his knuckles showed the signs that he wasnt always as fast or as skilled!)














Joe and Nate have a stamp each on the way, as does Yvonne (got to the international post office today to send 3 parcels across the world)


His work area was a doorway, his desk one of the many multi use plastic seats that make you bend like a contortionist each time you sit at one!
