The latest ideas about the architecture and modern engineering skills well employed to build a new and ' modern ' city .
In 1903 the modern part of Hanoi was struck by bubonic plague .
The french built a beautiful and clean city with wide avenues and a well-laid out sewer system , while the ' native quarter ' was not provided with any modern facilites .
The refuse from the old city drained straight out into the river or , during heavy rains or floods, overflowed into streets .
The large sewers also served as a great transport system , allowing the rats to move around the city without any problem. And rats began to enter the well-cared-for homes of the french through the sewage pipes .
That's why we call it a curse .
