Nghi Tam 90210

Been meaning to blog this a while – this house recently appeared, seemingly overnight in Nghi Tam.
It was Tet when I first noticed it and by that stage it was ready to move into. I rather like it. There is underground parking and lots of lovely open planness. Considering the tall and thin nature of most local houses the fact that this is more spread out almost appears like a decleration of wealth. Building upwards is for poor people.
Anything negative I could find to say about it would only be jealousy. Nice job.

Drained

Full set, taken this lunchtime, here. Why did they drain it? It appears to be part of work to link up all the road around the banks of the lake which you can see starting to take shape above.
They also seem to be using the opportunity to get a bit of dredging in (dredging is never ending in lake-blessed Hanoi). Perhaps even some drainage work and some kind of water management too.
Any one better informed than me?
