Hanoi

Its time for pictures! Forgive the lack of writing on this one, we've been writing alot and time for a break.

This is water pupetry. Apparently its an ancient art that is over 1,000 years old where the puppeters sit behind the screens and manipulate the puppets through a series of poles and cables.

See the rest...

Little did we know that Ho Chi Minh was being persevered (like Stalin!) in this place. I don't really like the idea of keeping someone's corpse looking alive as long as possible... interesting side note, for three months every year they take Uncle Ho to Russia for maintance.
A replica of a common house built in the Ethnology musesm. Very cool.
This is a bicycle loaded up with baskets, lots and lots of baskets.

The Opera House in Hanoi.
