GIANT SOFT SHELL TURTLE POKES ITS NOSE OUT OF LAKE IN HANOI AFTER
JIANG'S VIETNAM VISIT. 
One of a small colony of giant but extremely shy soft-shelled turtles
pokes its nose out of Hoan Kiem Lake in the centre of Hanoi Mach 2,
2002. Sightings of the turtles - which are associated with the legend
of the lake in which a 15th Century king was given a magic sword by a
golden turtle to fight off Chinese invaders - are so rare they are
taken to accompany major events. Excited Hanoians said they thought the
event could have been the visit of China's President Jiang Zemin, who
left Vietnam after a three-day visit on Friday. REUTERS/ Rathavary
