Holy crap, amigos...it's CHRISTMAS EVE...and we're in Viet F'n Nam! I still have to pinch myself...we've got Christmas music on, but somehow it's like we are on another planet...or maybe it's the scotch! It was a rare sunny day today, so we went for a serious walk around Hanoi. The opera house is pretty serious...
...the opera house is in a pretty flash area...
...and lot's of high tech..
...the emerging wealth is especially obvious here...but right across the street was the Museum of History, and there was a sign of the old days...an old Russian limo...
...still, lots of places to see and be seen...
...in a park up the street, it was like we never left Vancouver...kids skateboarding...
...there is a lake in the centre of Hanoi, and in the centre of the lake is this shrine...
...just off the main stroll, we found this Superstore with 8 containers of stuff stacked up in front, and a makeshift elevator to access the containers!!! Mr. Corona thought maybe he's had too much to drink when he saw that one!!!
...and just outside, another flower delivery...
...another great wall...
...and some of the best faces yet!
...and a great old guy! SURPRISE!!!
So amigos...Santa comes tonight! I hope he brings you everything you want...for some of you, in the form of a blow-up doll! Merry Christmas Eve!!!
