The temple of literature & a shrimp cake restaurant in Hanoi

The Temple of Literature was founded in 1070 by Emperor Ly Thanh Tong to honour those of high academic achievement.

Vietnam's first university was established here 6 years later...

I think these photos were taken inside the Thai Hoc courtyard within the temple.

Later that night, we were taken to Nha Hang Banh Tom Ho Tay (shrimp cake restaurant).

The shrimps were tiny and horrendously soaked in oil... these cool cucumbers provided a lovely crisp cut-through.

Bryan also had some fried corn... in which he sneaked off a couple sharing our table.
