Water Puppet Theatre Is Cool

Much better than without water. In 45 minutes, we managed to see a 17 scene show, complete with singers, musicians, and some very talented puppeteers (no, seriously). At times, it verged on Avenue Q-esque (that would be when the topless lady puppet came out to flirt with the guy fishing in a loin cloth, although purportedly they were trying to "catch a fox").

Another good thing: taxis in Hanoi. So cheap. The most I've paid is about $2.20 with tip (and that's when I had a sketchy driver who drove me a bit out of the way).

My congestion is clearing up nicely, thanks to some lovely Vietnamese meds I got for the low low price of $3.75.
