Ho Chi Minh Museum was a bust as far as we are concerned. It looks like he was a popular figure in Vietnamese history but since hardly anything was in english we aren't sure why...or maybe it was too hot and our brains were cooking and thus not functioning well.
One Pillar Pagoda, well this is a re-creation of the one built in 1047 in the shape of a lotus blooming on a stem.
We can catch an honest taxi from the hotel but getting one for the way home is tough. We got into one today that was a "metered" Yugo, remember those? but we're thinking metered time vs metered distance as he was the slowest driver in Hanoi and the meter was turning even as we sat still....Not only do we look rich, we apparently look stupid too. The cost was double what we paid to get to the museum...36,ooo dong or 2 bucks.
