Soccer players in a park in Hanoi...

Soccer is usually a good way to connect with local people. Sadly I really don't care for the game, but it's not beyond me to pretend I know what they're talking about. Despite me not being a fan, I do know some famous names. When these guys realised I was from the same country as Johan Cruyff they were happy to pose for a photo...

Technically it's not very good ... I've complained on other occasions about the lens used, since it let me down in Vietnam... you can see it in this photo on the top: flare, especially (so it seemed) in humid conditions... a washed out look, and overall too soft. I sold the lens shortly after this trip...
