On the night before we left Hanoi, we went to the famous water puppet theater. The puppetry and musical accompaniment were interesting, but the part we'll remember best is when a flaming hoop got too close to the fringes on the backdrop, and they caught on fire. Someone came running from back stage, through the thigh-deep water, and began splashing water on the backdrop until the fire was out. The performance continued. There were a couple other goofs that had Dale laughing so hard he had to cover his mouth. It would've been fun to witness the backstage antics during the performance.
