ITE HCMC 2012 – Day 4 - 14 September 2012


Majestic Hotel
A later start this morning for the short bus ride to the Majestic Hotel for the Ministerial Press Conference. The Luncheon was held at the “Quan Ngon” Vietnamese restaurant.

Labour Culture Place HCMC.
Later in the afternoon we saw the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Show at the Labour Culture Place HCMC. This was a wonderful performance of puppets on a water stage controlled by long rods under the water by people behind a screen. A live band performed the music.

During the performance it poured with rain and temporarily flooded the streets, footpaths and car parks. Instead of walking the short distance to a local restaurant for dinner, our bus picked us up and slowly drove through the water. After the meal the bus picked us up once again and drove us to a theatre for the “Non la” traditional music and dance performance which featured colourful costumes.
