Not to be a downer, but I'm pretty disappointed how things have been going around like this and nobody seems to notice until it's too late. The Hoan Kiem Lake has garbage flooding into it for a long time and nobody seems to care. Search "Hanoi's giant Vietnamese turtle" and you'll see a picture of the poor animal swimming in a lake that's looks absolutely filthy. I wouldn't be surprised to see the turtle in such a state where even the government's getting involved. For a long time, people have been too ignorant and ignored the fact that their own natural treasure is wallowing in their own trash. Now the turtle is dying and in urgent need of help...and who's fault is that? The people of Vietnam.
