On one of our last days in Hanoi, Sac took us to Ha Dong, the silk village near Hanoi filled with shops selling silk products. We even got to wander in one of the places that made the silk and even see a decanter of wine with silkworms in it (didn't try it though).
Most "villages" around Hanoi are small towns of 5,000 - 20,000 residents that specialize in one specific product. We've been to pottery village, a place that makes rice noodles, and now a silk village. Fascinating way to do business. Makes a lot of sense to have everyone together rather than having to drive all over the place to comparison shop. I picked up a beautiful blue silk necktie for $8, and I am now kicking myself for not getting more of them.
The machines use punch cards to make the designs in the silk:
Silk pajamas -- another thing I regret not getting there:
Some silkworms that were doing their thing right in the factory:
This is the wine decanter with the silkworms in it. I was not brave enough to try it:
Afterwards we stopped for some snacks in the village -- bun cha and some chocolate pastry:
I'M NOW FULFILL FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOAN I GOT FROM Mr Benjamin Lee .I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how i came in contact with Mr Benjamin after i lost my job and being denied loan by my bank and other financial institution due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then I set out to seek for funds online where I lost $3,670 that I borrowed from friends which I was rip off by two online loan companies. Until i read about Mr Benjamin Lee helping people with an loan online in which this email was stated (247officedept@gmail.com) somewhere on the internet, Still wasn't convinced because of what i have been through until a relative of mine who is a clergy also told me about the ongoing loan scheme at a very low interest rate of 2%% and lovely repayment terms without penalty for default of payment. I have no choice than to also contact them which i did through text +1-989-394-3740 and Mr Benjamin responded back to me That day was the I'M best and greatest day of my life which can never be forgotten when i receive a credit alert of $400,000.00 Usd loan amount i applied for. I utilized the loan effectively to pay up my debts and to start up a business and today I and my kids are so happy and fulfilled. You can as well contact them through email: (247officedept@gmail.com) WhatsApptext helpline: +1-989-394-3740 Why am i doing this? I am doing this to save as many that are in need of a loan not to be victims of scams on the internet. Thanks and God bless you all, I'm Oleksander Artem from Horizon Park BC , Ukrain.
