Started the day at Ho Chi Min’s Tomb. Then went to see Confucian University/Shrine, John McCain’s memorial – took a pedicab/rickshaw ride, saw the street scenes and traffic from the middle of the road, and ended up the day at the world-famous water puppet show.
Hanoi, Vietnam – November, 2012 (Day 1)
A few pics from our first day in Vietnam. After a 20 hour flight – all is a bit hazy!
Especially liked trying the fertilized duck egg — little chick inside. Tastes like chicken! Best with hot sauce.
The market was fun — more dried mushrooms than I have ever seen. Bags of them were as tall as Chloe.
The traffic is a trip. No rules or regulations are followed. It is essentially a free-for-all. Millions (literally) of scooters.
