A VIETNAMESE VENDOR WALKS WITH PLASTIC UTENSILS IN HANOI.
A Vietnamese woman carries a large load of plastic utensils which she is selling in Hanoi city centre streets March 16. This woman, like hundreds of others, has come to the city from the countryside to try to eke out a living selling goods on the streets. Street vendors risk having their goods taken away by uniformed police who patrol in trucks or motorcycle sidecar combinations on the look out for people illegally trading on city pavements.
