Finally Vietnam

After a sleepless night spent at the KL airport, we caught our 6:30am to Hanoi. Three and a half hours in the air in a plane full of very excited Vietnamese had us in the capital city of Vietnam.

In a bit of a daze, we spent a couple hours taking in the city. Not too much culture shock considering we had just spent three days in ultra-Western and modern Singapore.

Seeing as we only have a limited time of five days to see the sites, we decided to check out the famous water puppet show. Although entirely in Vietnamese, the show's music and amazingly intricate puppets made the show easy to understand. It was great to just sit back and enjoy.

I have to say, although Singapore was great. I fully agree with TV personality and chef, Anthony Bourdain statement, " if you love food, it might be the best place on earth"; however, I am happy to be back in the much cheaper part of Asia.
