2014 North Vietnam Trip: D02



Morning session with Bi Feng.

- Hoan Kiem Lake (Lake of the Restored Sword). Le Loi King threw his sword
to the giant tortoise that asked for it to be returned to the Dragon King
here.
- Hanoi Ice Cream (not great... wonder why so many people there??)
- Hanoi Opera House (not opened?)
- Lunch at Quan An Ngon -> Thumbs Up Up Up.

Afternoon session with HanoiKids Theng n Heo.
- Museum of Ethnology -> very good. 54 ethnic groups in 1 country? That's
crazy. So it is right to have a museum to let people learn and understand
what are the lifestyles and culture there are. The water puppet show was
also interesting. Perhaps a little English translation would make it more
fun.
- Opposite the museum was a public park. Children had some snacks and played
there. We had coffee and chatted.

Evening
- We decided to explore on our own. Visited an Art Fair by the West Lake.
Met Sunny and decided to be led by her to a restaurant. Lwei got to ride
with her on her bike.
