Hanoi, Vietnam: Water Puppet Show

December 31, 2010

We saw a traditional Vietnamese water puppet show. It involved spinning fish, fighting horses, warring soldiers, carried Kings, and Dragons flying through the air. The kids were rapt.

Bustling, vibrant Hanoi streetlife from the point of view of a rickshaw

The sidewalks are filled with tiny little chairs and tables that grownups sit at
and drink lotus tea, smoking and chatting day and nite.

Turtles, alive, ready to be chopped and eaten. I freaked out seeing them get chopped!

Army chic is very "in" here in Vietnam.
