Lion Dance

What's a Chinese Wedding without a Lion Dance?


A Lion Dance is often performed at Chinese Weddings to bring Good Luck to the newlyweds as well as ward off evil spirts.

These are Southern Lions. Ones originating from Guangzhou Province and Hong Kong.

Fishing around in Hanoi

Happy Birthday (a little late) Ed.
Thought of you when we spotted people fishing on Westlake here in Hanoi.

Not like fishing on a BASS BOAT in the Delta.
Bamboo poles and NO BAIT. Just hooks.

We saw plenty of people with fish, although I'm not sure if I'd knowingly eat fish from this particular lake. It's pretty polluted. Garbage seems to be a bit of a problem here and people seem to have no problem with just throwing things into the water.

We found a fishing supply store in town.
These are the types of fishing reels they use.

Then there are these vegetables, or are they fruit?


And finally, a dental office in town. At least we think it's a dental office.
