those swan-liked boats that i mentioned

dayong sampan...dayong dayong sampan...

street hawkers taking a break by the roadside that spilt west lake and white silk lake

delicious!!! muahahaha

just right of west lake is its little sister, the white silk lake...this lake is probably just 1/10 the size of west lake...on both lakes, there are swan-liked boats that u can rent so that u can take a ride to the middle of the lake to enjoy the beautiful sunset later on...there is also a supermarket just south of this lake...the first supermarket we saw in hanoi haha...finally i get to buy my much needed deodorizer cos i am starting to stink already due to the excessive sweating under the hot sun...we also met a vietnamese gal who was promoting shampoo to us...and she speak good chinese!!!....and she was very pretty too...ops haha...later on, we pampered ourselves by taking a ice-cream break at a small cafe along the lake while we wait patiently for the sun to set...
