Vietnam #10 Hanoi

Hanoi, at last. We were brought to the Temple of Literature, a tribute to Confucius and other literary masters that contributed to the Vietnamese culture. Appropriately, the place was teeming with school children.


We particularly wanted to visit the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, where the revolutionary leader still lie, and the spartan rooms where he spent his later days are now on display to visitors.


But of course, apart from the water puppets,


a visit to Hanoi is not complete without a cyclo tour and visit to the shops, if one can survive the traffic and the dusts !
