These are among the photos taken during my family's 4 days visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, starting 23 Aug, 2007. Above was the view along the road to Ha Long Bay, one of best tourist destinations in Hanoi.
I was about to sail on the wooden boat to a big cave in Ha Long Bay island. There were many boats at the jetty waiting to take tourists for that kind of tour. You could take the boat for half a day tour but if you decided to stay overnight on the boat, there would be an aircon bedroom available ... and food was served for you. For moslem, pls make sure to request for HALAL food!
Enjoying the sailing! In front of me is a wife of my husband's classmate in Teknik Ipoh, Linda. She lives in Nilai and has a boutique at Ampang Point KL.
One of unique thing about Hanoi is they know how to make a nice panoramic picture out of embroidry tecnique. This was the place were the vietnamese postwar victims working to make a fine hand-made embroidry. The price could go up to USD2000 a piece! One thing all of us should know... vietnamese loves doing business in USD instead of Dong, their own currency.
In front of Ho Chin Minh Musoleum, a big vietnamese knight grave. It contains only the body of vietnamese well-known leader, Ho Chin Minh. To enter this heavily guarded building, you could only bring along your purse. Quiet please! You would enter a dimmed interior and in the middle of the hall, laid the body of Ho Chin Minh with two lights focused on his face and hands. Looked like a manequin at first, but when I really looked at it, it was a real man's body. His white beard was well-kept and he was wearing like a lieutenant suit.
