這是小妹的越南之旅的最後一天，她在次日飛回馬來西亞，而我們則繼續三人行到中越邊界的沙壩賞梯田。為了避免不必要的變數，我們選擇留在河內逛古城區的三十六條古街，白天逛街、晚上逛夜市。當中以同春市場（Chợ Đồng Xuân），或東宣市場，最具當地特色，它是河內最大的室內市場，主要批發、出售服裝、家居用品、食品等，遊客並不多。

約有千年歷史的越南水上木偶戲，為越南傳統的文藝表演之一。戲劇的題材以傳統農村生活、歷史故事及神話傳說為主，例如：黎王還劍、小丑說唱、牧童吹笛、插秧、捕魚、仙女舞、四靈舞（龍麟龜鳳）等等。表演方式是在水上搭起舞台，有隱藏在後台的演員操縱木偶表演（詳細介紹：參考維基）。既然來到了越南，我們當然要去欣賞著代表當地傳統文化的水上木偶戲，首選的就是河內頂尖的昇龍木偶歌劇院（官方網頁）。入門票為每人十萬越南盾（約四歐元，或馬幣十八塊錢），表演時間為四十五分鐘。
[EN]Vietnamese water puppetry (Vietnamese: Múa rối nước) is a tradition with almost thousand years history. Today, it is a unique variation on the ancient Asian puppet tradition. The shows are performed in a waist-deep pool. The woorden puppets are controlled by the puppeteers hidden behind a screen. The theme has a strong reference to Vietnamese folklore, telling of daily living in rural Vietnam and Vietnamese folk tales (more details: wikipedia).

The ticket was 100.000 VND (about 4 Euro, or 18 Ringgit) per person, and the duration of the show was 45 minutes. Continue reading
