I did not have a chance to go inside and check out the museum, but I heard great stuff from my colleagues who made it there.

This is where Uncle Ho's preserved body can be found (some people might call him "Pickled Ho"). They are very strict about the visitors -- that means appropriate respectful clothing (no shorts, tank tops), no cameras/camcorders, no backpacks. To avoid the hassle, don't take any large bags with you (even if it's a large purse), dress like you're going to church, and if your camera bulges in your pocket -- you got a 50/50 chance of getting in. You can check your bag at the security kiosk before you go towards the line -- please note that they only allow a certain number of visitors at each time, and yes, the guards can pull you off the line if they feel you are below the standard. You can always try again later or the next day... I got pulled off the line, because of my backpack, even though the guard at the kiosk said it should be ok. =P

The Opera House is one of Hanoi's pride and joy, for its architectural, historical and cultural value. Its construction started in 1901 and ended in 1911. In 1997, it went under a major restoration and modernization haul.

Hoan Kiem means "the lake of the restored sword," in referral to a legend in which a nobleman who fought against the Chinese, received his sword from a magic turtle living in the lake. One day, the emperor was cruising in the lake, and the magic turtle appeared and demanded the return of the sword. The emperor then, built the Tortoise tower on an island in the lake, in memory of this event.
