Fine arts musuem.
Lacquered rediscovered by young artists |
Hanoi, the Northern capital, welcomed us at 7am after a painful night in a bus by diffusing communist speeches (no need to understand Vietnamese to get what it was about) and patriotic songs through noisy loudspeakers located in every street corner. Meanwhile, in the old quarter, people were busy preparing food on the pavement. And by food, it is meant any kind of food: clams, frogs, crabs, kidneys, chicken, beef, tofu....and fortunately bread to save up our sensitive morning stomach!
This is the capital: rich people, serious people, fun people too. It is dynamic but not as warm as Saigon. Wandering in the streets was a show in itself....the heart of Vietnam can be felt there.
