Most people we met in Vietnam spoke English, but if not, no problem! This store owner whipped out his ipad to find out what Kate wanted. Yay google translate! We were looking for the same shirt in a different color.
Watching others cross the street. We watched this group cross safely, just to make sure it could be done!
And we ourselves crossing the street. Make no sudden movements! I actually can't watch the traffic while I cross, or I get a little freaked out, so I'm just holding the camera in that direction without looking.
Sunrise in Halong Bay. A fisherman uses drums to encourage the fish to surface. I wanted to ask him if that really works. I was on the deck with several Chinese and French tourists on our boat. We seemed to be the only ones up though. Other than the fisherman.
Typical driving in Vietnam. We're in the country side on the way back from Halong Bay. We had 4 couples in our van with us (I forgot Southeast Asia is a honeymoon spot). The gal from Poland is describing crossing the street in different countries.
We used a rickshaw as a taxi one day. Daily life of the locals, just passing by.
Ever heard Vietnamese? I thought Mandarin was hard! But Vietnamese has SIX tones. Mandarin only has four. Can you hear them all? These ladies explained the stories performed during the water puppet theatre, and also provided the live music.
The Vietnamese used water theatre as a form of art during the rainy season in the rice fields.
West Lake is a great spot for a morning work out. We cracked up when we found some type of Latin partner dancing right next to the Zumba style dancing. You bet we joined in!
