Rivlin recreates Titanic 'King of the World' scene in Vietnam
During a boat tour of the beautiful Hạ Long Bay, the president and his wife have some fun Titanic-style.
President Reuven Rivlin and his wife Nechama visited Hạ Long Bay on Wednesday—a popular travel destination in Vietnam and a UNESCO World Heritage Site and even took the time recreate the famous "King of the World" scene from the movie Titanic.

President Rivlin, who was leading a delegation of the Israeli businessmen, was invited by the Vietnamese government to a boat tour of the bay, an invitation extended to every dignitary arriving in the country for a state visit.

Rivlin, who was deeply moved by the beauty that surrounded him, said that Jerusalem may have taken nine measures of beauty that descended to the world, but there was no doubt the tenth was taken by Hạ Long Bay.

The president insisted to travel to Vietnam on a commercial flight, rather than lease a plane due to the great costs leasing entails. This despite the fact there is no direct flight to Vietnam, and the president had a layover in Bangkok.
