Hoan Kiem Lake

Okay, I did it. I got up really early in the morning and walkd around Hoan Kiem Lake. This is the classic landmark in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. It was a couple of blocks from where I stayed. If you walk around it really early in the monring you can catch lots of people exercising on the path around the lake. Some people say they are practicing t’ai chi, but I just saw people moving around imitating Jack LaLane. Not that it wasn’t cool, it was. I even thought about joininjg them, but not for long.
