This is something you'll see quite a lot in Hanoi: a bicycle heavily loaded with coal cylinders. They're used by the street restaurant and you'll notice them on the road at the end of the day, when they will have been consumed.
Okay, I'm off to France tonight for two weeks and I'll be happy to post more pictures when I'm back in Vietnam! Stay tuned.

I've never heard of coal cylinders. Very interesting.
Never heard of coal cylinders either. Now I'm intrigued as to what kind of cooking thing uses them, and how.
Have a wonderful time back home! Be safe.
very interesting. Like what Hilda said, I wonder what kind of cooking apparatus uses these coal cylinder.
I agree...these are very interesting. They look very compressed and compact. I bet they burn hot and for a long time. Do you have a photo of the oven that uses these? Great pic!
I'm missing my daily dose of Ha Noi. When are you posting again?
hey Mark, I'll be back in Hanoi on next Monday! I'm in France right now, catching up with family, friends, and all things French.
Cheers,
Jerome

Hey all,
thanks for all the comments; I was recovering at home this week, so that's why there were no photos.. But now I am back on my feet so expect some more hanoian pics!
Hi Jerome, I really like your photos. When are you coming back?
