Woke up in time for hostel breakfast today, and saw the walking tour group for the day heading off; They made them do the Macarena as a warmup. That didn’t happen yesterday, and I’m not sure whether I feel that I’ve missed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ended up sitting next to one of the folks from my dormitory, a Dutch woman who’d arrived yesterday, and who id accidentally startled by opening the bathroom door from the inside just as she opened it from the outside.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I took a couple of pictures of the alley leading to the hostel & the street outside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walked down to Hoan Kiem Lake & strolled around it. There’s a cluster of bus tour places at one end, and a bunch of people selling souvenirs ( and those people who do caricature sketches ) around the area of a temple partway down, but the rest of it was just regular folks doing regular lakeside things, plus a lot of people talking photographs where they’re dressed up, using the lake as the backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went back to the Banh Mi place from yesterday. Initially I sat outside, but it was loud & got crowded, so I went to their upstairs seating instead, and camped out on a narrow balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got this video of the traffic first though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
