Ha Noi traditional music





At the Sai Gon Opera House (right outside Caravelle and Continental hotels) a play of traditional Ha Noi music was on.

Mushrooms at Sai Gon market



Aside from so fresh and so cheap veggies ( celery @ P24/kilo! Australian celery at the supermarket here is P240/kilo!!!), had a look at the mushrooms. The small ones look like shiitake and the big one they call chicken mushroom.
At one time, was taken to a hot pot resto where you hot pot nothing but mushrooms.

From a photo exhibit in a Saigon plaza, outside the Opera House. International Trade Union Congress held in Ha Noi in 1965. Wonder if Mr. Johhny Tan was here?
