Shopping!

Wink, Denise and I had a few great shopping sessions. First at the Night Market in Siem Reap, where we loaded up on silk scarves for gifts; and at the silk farm in Siem Reap as well, where I got some silk pillows, a bag, and some more scarves. We also liked the embroidered pictures at the roadside rest stop en route to Ha Long Bay. I bought one of a farm scene. And in Hanoi I got an “Ao Dai”—one of the classic Vietnamese tops/dresses that are worn over pants—as well as some coasters, a bowl, and a few other odds and ends. In the Old Quarter we also enjoyed the Propaganda Poster shops, and bought two for Mike as a thank you for the great trip.
