The flight to Vietnam was tough – the traffic was bad
due to the festival in Phnom Penh, and we had to detour through Bangkok. Bill had plenty of time to do
homework here – math was top of the list.

The first afternoon in Hanoi we saw a uniquely
Vietnamese entertainment.
These water puppets are each about 50 cm high, and are operated by
people standing in back in the water.
The art form is 500 years old and was only recently brought
back. The movements of the
puppets and the acrobatics of these in the water is remarkable!

And after the show the people come out and introduce
themselves to the audience to rousing applause.
