A middle-aged Hanoi woman, standing in a storefront, is laughing with a toothpick in her mouth. Her hair is parted in the middle and tied back. She is wearing a dark, long-sleeved blouse with covered front buttons.The woman photographed is most likely a shopkeeper who laughed in surprise when she was caught on camera just after a meal. In most of Asia, meals at home and in restaurants end with everyone using toothpicks for tooth cleaning purposes.
