On the way and get off at a shopping spots, many live in Viet Nam sister, embroidered with their show good painting, Halong Bay that your three, five, seven times. The four sides of the cabinet which also put a lot of which Bowl la in the 12th century, the mirror, don't know who used; as for the price, is a lot of zero, two small fish abundance hands together and never too much on Earth. The only acceptable, is an ice cream cone of manpower, 10000 shield, amounting to $ 5.

Minibus, as always, was delayed, to the bustling streets and narrow pedestrian street 36, has been nearly five points.

Small fish abundance Pat, ask the bus driver can then send them to the train station, the driver said to 70000 shield, amounting to $ 35. Given the abundance of fish small taxi all the way they are also relatively smoothly, but also has more than 20 RMB, they decide to hire a car.

Ripped

After getting off, see crowded traveler, but don't see an empty taxi.

Wait for a long time, finally there is a bus stop in front of hop, drivers of English they hear not quite understand, but managed to get to the train station. Car out for a while, the small fish abundance see car direction seems to be reversed, ask the driver, chicken with duck made a half-day, to recognize the driver said, this road is a single line. Seeing the car side do not know to what direction the meter clapped in pop, with Shenzhen speed jumps, small fish abundance they have only one idea: the creeps! drivers side, also said that this matter, the Museum is the Church ... Small fish abundance they have a fire, the driver said: Train Station! Now!

Finally saw the train station, the metre price is 214,000 shield, amounting to $ 107! is minibus drivers three times the price! small fish abundance they tried to reason with the driver, but one thing about it is not clear, more and more hardline driver attitude, three women to rush to buy train tickets, also unwilling to pay the 200,000 shield--RMB 100 (it is said that the normal price should be around 50 000 guilders, RMB 25 Yuan).

Take a look at the time was 5 points, knew to be slaughtered, and there is no other way to buy a train ticket is the most important. Here to remind you: the Hanoi taxi, be sure to call the call, don't call in the streets.

Ran into the station, ticket aunt or very polite and have followed them, saying, do you want of 7 o'clock SE1 ticket is gone, but the 11 p.m. SE3 there.

Since the departure time back, but there are 4 or 5 hours to go in Hanoi.

Because they have no plans, so also will go to the most famous Kiem stroll around, by the way, let's look at a puppet. Looking for a toilet at the same time, save the package was found, six hours, approximately RMB 7 block 5, compared to earlier taxi, it is quite reasonable.

Kiem

Never afraid to call a taxi; want to ride the bus, and it is about not understand that there is no specific destination anyway, might as well walk.

Just Christmas Eve, while at the Hanoi streets and small colored lights and at the same time feel the street roaring in motorcycles ... Exhaust, again, felt that this is a country on the wheels.

(Wheels)

45 minutes away, also to the Kiem — from Kiem to the train station is 4 km, 3, 100 RMB! side of heartache, mutual comfort away from home, money can solve the problem of all is small; however, it still felt a little affect mood, think of a Netizen said: in Viet Nam's journey is always kept bargain spent; if you do, okay; if everything to bargain — even eat a breakfast to the price, make people feel exhausted.

Finally came to the famous Kiem (Hoan Kiem Lake/Ho Hoan Kiem).

Kiem in old town, near the 36 Street. It is said that the Lake, there lived a turtle. Lai Lai Yue guojun toward the founding fathers wrote the turtle is giving the enemy down plain of sword; after his victory, but also to the Lake, the back of the turtle godsword.

The 18th century, people in the Lake Center built a tortoise Tower, commemorating the turtle feats. By Lake dam across the Crimson rose, bridge, to the 19th century temple of Yushan (Quan Thanh Temple/Deng Ngov Son). But their small fish abundance can only catch a glimpse of the Lake.

Next, ask a lot of people — because they forgot to water puppet English should say (Water Puppet) — finally found the water puppet theatre, only to find that they hung up the brand name, a short break, this really wasn't our day.

Water puppet shows address: Roi Nuoc Thang Long, 57B Pho Tien Hoang Dinh 8255450

Next, Akira Akira, find a place to eat.

Turn right, turn left at the corner of cooked food stalls found as many local people, also seems very good, so in a small table and sat down to take a gentle creature by Tracy with a few guys next to find how much money they spend, several boys very warm-mediumShao, but who they want to, or the price is higher than the others, but finally not unreasonable it: three sizzling Beef Fillet, three bread, three ice milk, 69000 shield, amounting to $ 34.5 pt. This Christmas, but also creepy decent.

Water puppet shows

Meal, go to the 9: 15 minutes of puppet theatres, the total of the door, the door was opened, however only the First Class seat, 40000 shield, RMB 20 Yuan, look at the traditional art of Viet Nam, was worth it.

The door hangs brand, if you want to take pictures, or to buy tickets to the machine: camera 1 USD, camera 3 dollars. Viet Nam tourism is already very well developed, from the door of the program you can see, apart from Viet Nam Wen, program there are French, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Outside the store is filled with all kinds of puppets for your choice.

Water puppet shows but Viet Nam's unique folk tradition, it is said that in the Red River basin has been handed down for a thousand years.

However, up until the middle of the 20th century. The so-called water puppet shows, puppets performances in water. A large pool of the central stage — water is completely blind to what's Green below; pool side facing the audience, the other three sides is thick bamboo curtain of the background; artists stood behind the bamboo curtain, immersed in the water below the waist.

The beginning of the show, first to the accompaniment of the actors, actors dressed in traditional costume of Viet Nam, Viet Nam with traditional instruments, and sings yiyiyaya half days we fully understand the voice of Viet Nam song — is soft and mellow, but let everyone a bit drowsy.

Suddenly a Canon, the flag will begin. To tell the truth, puppet making and performing with China many puppets, not outstanding, but because in water, but with a Fireworks gun, that which is particularly lively.

Next performances, although never understand narration say anything, however, the Chinese program but really straightforward, knew what.

The intermediate time, suddenly out two pheasants, look at the program, should be the Phoenix dance. Think of a Netizen said: two Phoenix met in love, then gave birth to a Egg hatched a little Phoenix — Viet Nam's Phoenix also really nice and open.

The King also later not Li Jian Lian; there are determined by the yachts — Tracy and Tina fell in love with "Hey Oh ~ Hey Oh ~ Hey Oh ~ Hey! ~" race boat song, and later sang all the way, I do not know their two now remember.

The last is all puppets — Phoenix, duck, Lion, Dragon, the farmers, children, fairy — collective dancing.

Then, the actors are also out.

At their stand at the waist-deep, dark water, really a bit worried about their health

As people move to step out of the theatre.

Christmas Eve, Hanoi's young people have come out clearly, and also the sword Lake thus became a sea of motorcycles and pedestrian ... or rather, a huge exhaust factory.

In the exhaust gas, upstream along the crowds, go back to the train station.

Viet Nam's train

The train was very punctual.

SE3 looks like basic domestic train, not the legendary narrow gauge, Windows nor the legendary barbed wire or anthem. Get into the car, hard floor compartment is also a separate partition for each box, soft sleeper cars of similar domestic; looks fairly clean. Crew ticket after everyone had a bottle of water and a box of Viet Nam's instant noodles. The three of them drank beer before buying to Viet Nam, is celebrated on Christmas Eve; in trains roar in sleep.

Hanoi, Viet Nam, the largest city in the North, and Viet Nam's political, economic and cultural center.

In addition to the Kiem, many tourists also frequents the xihu (West Lake/Ho Tay), buses Pavilion Plaza (Ba Dinh Square), shaped scene as the Lotus of Ho Chi Minh (Ho Chi Ming Mausoleum/Lang Ho Chi Ming Chu Tich) ... However, a meter installed very fast taxi and pervades the air concentration high motorcycle exhaust, let the small fish abundance feels: Hanoi, want to say I love you, not easy.
