Back in Hanoi, we did a few more of the things on our list.
One was
Sophie's Art Tour, to learn about the history and culture of Vietnam through art. We met our guide at a cafe, met the two others who had signed up, and soon were in a small van going first to the Fine Art Museum, then to small galleries around Hanoi.
We really enjoyed the tour.

| This art space / cafe exhibits the work of emerging artists. Ways to portray certain subjects are found, and the venue matters - some galleries are licensed as "souvenir shops" so avoid scrutiny, others are cafes technically. |
