Although I had now idea what the hell was going on, the ancient Water Puppet Show in Hanoi is simple art made beautiful. So much, in fact, I bought two original puppets used in the show! I wouldn’t say they are a collectors item as they are commonly sold around the theater, but they are damn cool and still work.

A trip to Hanoi is incomplete without an excursion to nearby Halong Bay. Our day was a bit overcast, but it only seemed to add mystique with the thousands of limestone karsts endlessly popping out of the mist while reflecting their grey silhouettes off the naturally green emerald waters. The beauty was short lived, however, as our dive in the water was accompanied by skin staining oil and hypodermic needles. Really.

The past two days have been mostly travel and today we arrived in the hilly, tropical Laos. In the coming days I hope to do some cave exploration and riding a bike into the rich, green countryside.

Short update, but tomorrow I hope to upload some cool shots!

Best to all!
