hanoi -- capital city of vietnam. seven and a half million people live here. in the winter it's chilly and damp. in the summer hot, humid, subtropical. the boulevards and many of the buildings are french, but its heart and soul is always, always vietnamese. [ laughter ] >> anthony: americans coming here as tourists for the first time, especially veterans of the war, are shocked by how friendly the place is. people are genuinely happy to see you. this is hanoi's old quarter, but it's looking less and less old these days. man, this area's changed, though. the irish/czech-themed pub next door. vietnam is a young country. almost half of vietnamese are under the age of 30. fewer every year even remember what they call here "the american war."
10:06 pm
those years were a defining time for just about everyone, vietnamese or american, who lived through them. and though there are still a lot of conflicted feelings back home, for most vietnamese these days, the war has become an abstraction, not even a memory. vietnam is still a poor nation, but the standard of living has improved a lot with the relaxing of hard-line communist economic policies. more and more foreign tourists every year, western chains, inevitably, are everywhere, and president obama is visiting for the first time, taking another step on the long path toward normalizing relations between the two countries. that is good. ooh, hot. ooh, i hit that chili hard. ♪
