Returning from the Ha Long bay my first week of Vietnamese lessons took off. My teacher's name is Ngoc and we get along very nicely. Pictures of my her and my school will follow. The lessons are definitely showing some effect, as the people that I try to talk to on different daily occasions now usually get what I am trying to tell them and if I asked them to restrain their talking speed a bit I am also capable of following a simple conversation.
I used this week also to explore Ha Noi a bit further, without making that many pictures yet, but here are some of my second impressions.
Nam from my Hotel
Entrance to the botanical garden
Botanical garden with wedding couple taking photos. As there are only very few parks in Hanoi, you will find wedding couples taking photos in them every day at every time of day. That noon there I counted 7 couples in the (rather small) botanical garden only.
Traffic in the finer shopping street
The city is a badminton court :o)
(And not only badminton, you find people using streets and parks for all kinds of sports activities. From Tai Chi to fitness to aerobic to dancing classes. It's really cool.)
