We had dinner in the evening and talked a little about tourism in Vietnam. Hoang, our tour leader told us that Vietnam is happy that tourism is increasing. Vietnam is apparently more 'open' and better than it used to be. No-one feels compelled to join the Communist party. And no-one does. Because no-one cares.
It's fascinating just watching the street life here. Women wear big, conical hats - in the sun, in the rain; in the morning, in the evening; at work, at leisure; to carry things; to fan themselves, and anything else that comes in handy.
I thought at first that women wore scarves around their faces to protect from pollution but apparently the primary reason is to keep their skin lighter in order to find a good husband. Oops, gotta go. More later.
