No time for nerves

I spent the afternoon with friends at Hanoi’s Museum of Ethnology.
More specifically we enjoyed a pinic in the grounds. Eventually however the echo laden sound system kicked in and the nearby water puppets show started.
I left before it ended and, walking away, this tickled me – the water puppets lined up “back stage” ready for their big entrance.
More pics of my afternoon here.
Love the grounds there! Our first visit there were several brides/grooms posing for their pictures under the trees and on the benches.
The brides and grooms get everywhere but I love them. I always see them around Hoan Kiem lake and by the Opera house (turn right at the opera house and I’m a mile or so up the road).
People keep telling me how great the museum is but I can’t say I’ve ever been tempted. But it was nice to catch up with old friends in the grounds. (there’s a lot more kids than when I was last there).
