We head off to the water puppet show in green carts - electric buggies. We have an hours long ride around Hanoi to show us some sights. The traffic is unbelievable, motor bikes everywhere, they go round you on both sides, going through the intersections is chaotic, but traffic continues with a lot of horn beeping. We arrive at the puppet show unscathed and we have front row seats. There are 10 acts with different puppets acting out some cultural identities. We had dragons spouting water and sparks. It was very clever how it was done. One comedic piece described how a farmer protected his ducks from a fox, it was funny but we missed a lot of the Jokes spoken in Vietnamese. Afterwards we had 20 minutes asking questions of the puppeteers.
We then headed off for dinner to the Hanoi culture club, which was done some narrow laneways and then up a flight of stairs. We were given approx. six dishes of lovely food. Head back to the hotel for hopefully a good nights sleep.
You’re seeing so much already :) - Kate
