Hanoi, Vietnam: January 27

We finally got to spend some time in Hanoi (not just the airport). It was definitely colder than the places we had been for the past week, and almost everything was closed for Tet, but we still got to see some things.

Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum. The Vietnamese REALLY love that guy!
