In another, they posed as if they were enjoying a carefree weekend morning in bed, savoring a cup of tea and reading a magazine. Instead of the bedroom, however, they were at the \u0110\u00f4ng Kinh Ngh\u0129a Th\u1ee5c Plaza<\/strong>, a major traffic intersection connecting the iconic Ho\u00e0n Ki\u1ebfm Lake to the Hanoi Old Quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you find it meaningful, that\u2019s your opinion. I personally think it looks dirty. I\u2019d be more afraid than find it beautiful. Why not pick somewhere brighter and more hygienic?\u201d, a netizen commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe roof looks as if it\u2019s about to collapse,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n
