Outside class

Last night we saw water puppets which are 1100 years old. The people who run the puppets stand behind a screen and have the puppets on rods so they move on the water surface. Somehow the fish also manage to jump sand the dragon spit water. Amazingly coordinated so puppets did synchronized  swimming. It was all fun.










So this is a Friday for you folks who work "all week"? I'll go back to 1/2 day on Sunday...I planned a tour of Hanoi for the weekend and hopefully some shopping for gifts in a native craft area.















There is the usual mass of random electric lines on every telephone pole - which is a vast understatement. It is an electrician's nightmare or delight depending if he is paid by the hour. Also on posts are loud speakers. They go off randomly at large intersections with message. Slow down? Don't text and scoot? Time and temperature? Message from the president? No idea. No one can make out the words over the scooter noise.
