We have rented a car to see the new Hanoi. Neighborhoods with impressive entrance portals and mini triumphal arches, as if it were Paris. It is very expensive to buy there, and there are also additional costs for security staff and gardeners. Next stop Sai Temple. Here there have been temple for at least 3000 years. Here comes no other tourists. Many of the warders, I know from the many visits. I always donate a little to the temple. The ethnic museum is always worth a visit. There is a large outdoor area with reconstructed houses from different ethnic groups. Inside, there are many things to see. We were off to a strong hungry so we drove to a good lunch restaurant, where also Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik eat when they are in Hanoi! Our car had a small accident so that was run on the workshop. Khoa took us on Literature Museum - the old university, Located right next to the restaurant. We took a taxi back to the hotel. Elisabeth would write, so Henning D and I went for a walk. First we ordered live by "Little Hanoi" and from there we took the coffee shop at the Hoa Kiem Lake. You must know exactly where the site is located - otherwise you will find it. We got 2 small cups of coffee. Then we tested Backpackers corner. Dinner at Little Hanoi. Oanh Lee came by, so we could have made the necessary agreements during the visit in her home.
