On Liberation Day, we started our day by visiting Uncle Ho's mausoleum.
 |
| Considered to be the Vietnamese people's Mecca, there were more Vietnamese in line to see Uncle Ho than foreigners |
 |
| No photos allowed inside. But it was definitely an amazing stop on our trip. Jackie highly recommends |

| after taking these photos, this lady wanted 60 000 dong for a bag of pineapples, 10x what we paid for a whole pineapple at the supermarket in Saigon. We told her where she can appropriately put those pineapples |

| Many say the Vietnamese are a short people. I say compared to their ancestors, they've come a long way. |
Lunch: Northern pho part 2: the franchise
 |
| Vietnamese city in one photo: motorbikes and free roaming livestock. In that precarious transition of a developing country, the capital city of Vietnam is a sight to behold. |
 |
| Trekked out to the Ha Noi train station. unless you're taking the train, not exactly an essential stop for a tourist |
