I am having a ton of fun in vietnam!!!!!!! We got to go see a water puppet show where there were a whole bunch of puppets that would come out from behind bamboo screens. They came out from the water.
The streets in Hanoi are so crazy with so many motocycles, cars, bikes and buses. No one stops they just honk their horns. There are no stop lights or stop signs. We had to hold hands and all cross the street in a big group.
We are going to go to a market this morning to look around so I have to write more later. We are just getting up and you just got out of school yesterday. We are 15 hours ahead of you so it is already Friday here.

Here are a few photos from the past 2 days. Our days (and nights) have been so packed it is hard to write about everything we have done.
Our whole group in front of the Ho Chi Minh's former palace. We also visited the mausoleum and had a chance to see the real (preserved) Uncle Ho. He looked pretty good for someone who died in 1969.
We took an an overnight train from Hanoi to Hue. It was really fun except for me barfing about a billion times. Luckily I felt a little better in the morning.
When we arrived and got off the train we realized it was very long train it had 15 or 16 cars we were at the very end.
We got some mangos at a fruit stand but we didn't have a knife we were going to try to cut it with my little scissors, but luckily we found a plastic knife.
We had 2 bunk beds in our room. There was such clicking and clacketying that we though the wheels were going to fall off the train. It was hard to sleep.
A few pictures from our tour of the temples and citadel in Hue.
There was a giant fish pond and the fish are trained so when you clap your hands they stick their head up looking for food.
Here are a bunch of pictures of stone statues from the tumb of an emperor.
