This was the entrance to a restaurant!  I love the statue.  I'd love to have that statue in my yard or house.  (Well, it might be a bit big for inside the house.)  LOL

This is inside the restaurant.  I just loved the way the lights threw their shadows on the ceiling and walls.

Hanging out, playing checkers.  (I assume that is what they are playing.)

I loved the Hanoi style of architect.  Buildings were built tall and skinny, and our guide said everyone wanted their building to be the tallest.  We also saw lots of buildings that had their date of completion displayed prominently on the front.  Those pictures are later in the trip.  I think I'll come to them eventually.   Grin

Last one for now.  Don't these guys just crack you up!  I would have loved to get a picture of them without the woman walking behind them but I was afraid if I waited for her to walk out of the picture they would realize what I was doing and wave me away.  They just make me laugh!

That load must get heavy.  She looked parked but we saw lots of ladies walking around with these filled baskets hanging off their shoulders.  We actually saw one lady who got hit, very softly, by a taxi that was driving too fast.  First it knocked into her basket and then knocked into her.  No one was hurt thankfully.



What a good picture. But how hard to carry all this.....

Hanoi has lots of lakes which I didn't know before going there.  And they have such pretty lights on buildings and in the trees around the lake.  The green light is Turtle Island in the middle of the lake. 



Beautiful!!!! I love the reflections in the water.

Wonderful series, thank you Beth for sharing.  Smiley

And walking through a park at night on our way back to our hotel, across from the lake.  Lots and lots of people enjoying the open space.  People of all ages, parents with little ones, kids of all ages practicing their skateboarding or rollerblading.  There was a group of ladies with loud music doing aerobics and about 30 feet away a choir practicing.  Also older teens practicing their dance moves, lots of them breakdancing.  It was all very communal and great fun to watch everyone.



More tomorrow.   Smiley

How wonderful to get this impression from this park. It sounds as if I would love to visit it too.

Several pictures now from the Temple of Confucius, aka the Temple of Literature, established in 1070. 

   

Nice!
