Photo albums galore

Like a good tourist, I have been diligently taking pictures. And posting them, too. Just not here, until now. Take a look! They have genuinely interesting captions, I promise!


Christmas, Part I, was spent in Hue, Central Vietnam.




Christmas, Part II. The highlight for me was the giant Christmas tree made of Heineken bottles.





Hanoi, Capital of Cool, will be celebrating it's 1,000th birthday in 2010. Talk about history! New York's got nothing on Hanoi.




The Ceramic Village: Bat Trang This village, just outside of Hanoi, has been in the business of making ceramics for nearly 1,000 years.


Trung Thu (Mid-Autumn Festival) is a celebration mostly for kids in mid fall. Besides eating moon cake until it comes out one's ears, the festival is celebrated by going to the night market in the Old Quarter. Very carnaval-esque, just without the rides.
