Hanoi Vietnam

 This was the view from a restaurant, The Gourmet Corner, we ate at on the 12th floor of a hotel. It was decadent meal with lovely views.

 Me being very excited about the Budweiser - first US beer I had in a while. 

 

 Kevin making fun of me - LOL!

 The scooters were everywhere, but this was an awfully fancy one- with a Louie Vuitton seat cover. 

 The mini temple in a clothing store. A lot of places had these - with drinks, food, fresh fruit, flowers, and incense...

 Vickie on our spiral staircase.

One of the lakes in Hanoi...

 An interesting building...

 This was a night market that we ran into...got our Same Same but Different Shirts there :)

 This is beer alley with lots of bars and restaurants - a good mix of locals and tourists. Very fun. This was on our last night, and I warmed up to the place by then.

All the local places had these very tiny tables and stools to sit at. It is funny to see giant westerners sitting at these small stools.

This band was amazing!! I couldn't find out their name, they didn't have any recordings. The lead violinist was mind-blowing. They played classical and pop music - not singer, with the lead violin, a guitar, and a guy playing some sort of hand drum...

The general scene...I think Vickie got some better videos.  Maybe I'll get a hold of them and post some more clips. This is really the general scene at Watch Out - the bar that the band was playing.
