Culture Shock, Hanoi

We had a moment of profound heart-in-mouth culture shock yesterday in Hanoi. We went down to breakfast yesterday in our hotel, and as we were busy chowing down on our rice porridge and noodles, I noticed to my horror that the people at the next table (Spanish? French?) were enjoying a leisurely cigarette. In a confined space. At 7am.

Eww!

Did you cough politely, but pointedly?

No. The French don't respond to that. So I just took it like a man (except for whingeing about it).
