Xmas at the Museum of Ethnology
This is a reproduction of a Vietnamese water puppet theatre. Behind is a tribal communal hut!

Vietnamese Santas
These guys are the main attraction at the Christmas Party being held at our hotel. We are not 100% sure if we are going to go yet...the banging techno music is somewhat off-putting. Where are the carols!!

Nearly Festive Rich
sorry he was half aleep when I took this!!

Christmas in Hanoi
These are ballon sellers standing in the middle of the busiest roundabout in Hanoi. Nutters!

Festive Buddha
Isn't it annoying when you get some idiot in the background of your photos?

A Patisserie in Hanoi
So French!!

Excellent piccies! It really is a great experience to spend Christmas somewhere different, as I have found in Barbados! Strange to have all this sunshine and warmth with 'Let It Snow' being the favourite Chrimbo song!! Enjoy!! All our love. Dad/Sue/Princess xxxxxx Miss you madly but see you soon
