Never seen so many motorbikes in our lives; riding along the pavements (you need your wits about you), down the wrong side of the road, with a huge amount of goods, with the whole family on board...you imagine it we might have seen it! Today one with loads of bags of goldfish just like we used to see at fairs! There is an art to crossing the road which apparently we need to master before we get to Ho Chi Minh where it's even more mad.
Visited the first university of Vietnam here, set up in the 10th century. If you trained as a doctor, to reach the highest level you had to face the Emperor and answer his questions- Scary stuff I should think! Your name was then immortalised on a big stele which balanced on a tortoise's shell (a stone one) We saw about 20 of the steles here. Quite a sight.
Dragons are a protective force
