Vietnam

Some of my favorite photos and highlights of a recent two week trip to Hanoi...There were many highlights - meeting new colleagues, working with my colleagues that went with me, being surprised by how chill and liveable Hanoi is, great food (no pics here though), a trip to Halong Bay which was ok but the caves were spectacular, and finally attending this show at the Hanoi Opera House which was truly spectacular and so well done. Here's one more link. One last fun highlight was seeing the incredibly long and constantly changing beautifully created mosaic wall that runs along one of Hanoi's main roads for four miles certified as the world's largest/longest mosaic. Vietnamese artists and other organizations have each taken sections and created something really beautiful. See this link and a couple video's here and here. Two weeks in Hanoi definitely gave me an appetite to return again and see much more of this country.
