Around the carousel





If you ask Marianne and Emily they chose Vietnam, they will reply in unison: "The rides! "

Any self-respecting Vietnamese city has a small park with rides for children. When we discovered in Hanoi for the first time, not far from our hotel, the girls were jubilant. Plus, I think there were more rides and games than usual because of the Vietnamese New Year (February 14), while all children were on leave.

As I said earlier, there is almost no free playgrounds where children can move and unleash their crazy Vietnam. There are however many rides, which must be paid between 5000 and 10,000 VND (0.60 to $ 1.25) per turn, which is still a large sum for the middle class Vietnamese. To entertain their children, parents must pay, and the park in which the patent brats do any exercise. But for us, it's still a lot cheaper than day at La Ronde. And as we impose our daughters several long journeys on this trip, it was decided that, whenever we would see a carousel, they have the right to go. girls, especially Emily, have become experts in the art of identifying the rides (Emily has always been very good to locate parks, which earned him the nickname "eagle eye"). They have rides carousels, small trains, planes, helicopters, large or small wheels, bumper cars, motorcycles, electric sessions jump in inflatable games, etc.. The largest amusement park Saigon, we even traveled by boat to the land of dinosaurs (in a shed plunged into darkness, articulated dinosaurs came out of the bushes screaming).
The promise of a ride was a great way for girls to accept the less pleasant moments for them (a long bus ride, a museum visit, stop at a travel agency to make reservations, a meeting of school work, etc..). Have been found in some other countries (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos), but never more so than in Vietnam.
I think that's what they miss most once you will be returned to Montreal. We consider also installing a carousel at Jarry Park. Vietnam will import it the best model we tested: one that works with a fan installed on the edge of the roof ...

could nevertheless, it was found inflatable games!

They took a ride, but no balls ...

At Sapa, this huge bamboo swing took the place of amusement ride for children. And it was free!

During our hike in the mountains near Sapa, the girls discovered the game of village children: slip into a hill on a concrete crushed water bottle. Hard to the ass!
