Hanoi, Vietnam

Hanoi Celebrates 1,000th Anniversary 

This Month

We are enjoying our stay at the Hanoi University of Agriculture.  Ponds surrounding the main building are filled with lush water lilies and lotus flower.

Landing across the Red River.  One can see from the air how lush things will be here!

Who needs a truck when you have a motorbike?  This is the most popular mode of transportation here.  Almost everyone has one.  They drive safely but use their horns way too frequently!

A very local market.  A far cry from the glitzy shopping area of downtown.

Hoan Kiem Lake is right in the heart of downtown Hanoi.  This temple is called the Tortoise Tower.

Traditional Vietnamese hat still seen all about town.

The Temple of Literature was founded to pay tribute to education and to those of high academic achievement.  It later became Hanoi's first university.  Stone stelae record the names of successful doctorates of the past.

Rice "paper" tacos.  YUM.
