Vietnam. Hanoi Day 1
In the city
Boat Trip to Ninh Binh
A short video
A Pagoda
Signs
Please do not watch this video if you are easily scared. The video shows a killing of a cobra for the delight of the tourists who are later served its meat prepared 7 different ways. In Viet Nam cobras, frogs, rats, dogs, porcupines are part of many restaurants' menus (as they are in China). Appalling! I am very seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. It may not be a foolproof solution, as many animals die in the production of vegetables as well, but watching the live thing getting killed right before the consumption is something very hard to stomach.
The remains

Irkutsk: Day 1
My personal guide - a wonderful, knowledgeable woman, Polina (Полина), who followed her husband from St. Petersburg to Irkutsk, just like a Decembrist's wife. I can't thank her enough for her kindness, erudition and eagerness to show me around the city.
