This morning we woke at 0605 to the sound of a brass band in the street below our room. Out the window we could see a funeral procession making its way along the street. Nothing like a brass band to get you up and moving in the morning.
We went walking after breakfast. The street sweepers were out and traffic was heavy. The Vietnamese national flag that we saw throughout our travels in this country is often seen here together with the hammer and sickle.
Stopped for tea and took this shot from the second floor. Pedestrians, carts, motorbikes, cars, trucks and buses all weave in and out as part of an intricate ballet. They all seem to go where they want and no one gets hurt. Also note the wiring on the pole on the left side of the photograph.
A little further we saw a four story McDonald's restaurant.
Visited the War Remnants Museum which was interesting but filled with propaganda.
