Day 28 of 100 Hanoi 1000-year celebration

It just happened when we were at Hanoi that the whole city was gearing up for the city’s 1000-year celebration. We noticed that the whole city was decorated by colourful banners, balloons and , of course, giant political propaganda posters and statues. Nightly laser night shows at the famous centre lake as well. Of course, the city was flooded with people walking around even at mid-night. This reminded me what Vancouver was like during the Winter Olympic in February 2010. I have never seen so many people during day and night in downtown Vancouver.
