Yesterday I went to the museum of ethnology, which has displays about the language groups, customs, dress, and buildings of many ethnic minorities in Vietnam. It was very good.
You can walk around outside and go inside several buildings that were built in a completely traditional style.
There was also a water puppet show, that takes place in a pool of water, and the puppets are controlled by underwater rods by people behind a screen. It was fun in a campy sort of way, mainly for kids.
It was busy in the museum, with several tour groups and large groups of school kids.
It's been very hot the past couple of days, after a couple of days of cooler weather. The humidity is always there, though, with is really draining.
I walked back from the museum, even though it was a few kilometers. Its a great way to get a close look at the people and parts of the city. You pass little shops selling everything from motor parts to cables to food to clothes.
Tonight we catch the overnight train to the north and start the motorbike trip. Our group has grown. Instead of just Denis and I, there are now five of us. Two American girls and a Swedish guy, all people that were on the Halong Bay trip, are joining us.
