Hoi An City, an ancient little town protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, isn't exactly my cup of tea. I believe that the town has become more of a themepark rather than a heritage site. Pretty much every single 200-300 year old house within the town has now transformed into a souvenier…

Today I set off on foot to wander around the old town of Han oi. I walked around for about half an hour before working out that I actually should have a ticket yet nobody seemed to check. After buying the ticket I noticed that with the ticket you were allowed to visit certain sights around the town…

Ekua (worldcitizen) earned the Photographers award yesterday and I felt like I needed to look through and see how many I could smile at.  I had seen a few of her shots before and knew she had some great ones.  And for sure she has lots.   But I found one that I knew needed fixing.&…

Today we were leaving for Hoi An by bus. Its a 4 hour bus trip from Hue to Hoi An, so to break up the trip we stopped at the North and South Gates, where we checked out the American and French bunkers, China Beach and the old American Airbase. We arrived in Hoi An about 2pm and this time I had…

Despite our sunburn we had a busy schedule lined up for today as we had lots of chores to do before our evening departure for Nha Trang on the overnight sleeper bus. We stuffed as much of the free hotel breakfast in as we could. We planned a late lunch suspecting we would have little hope…

Some pics from our trip to Vietnam and Singapore earlier in the year.

After our crappy overnight journey, we arrived at our fantastic hotel in the picturesque city of Hoi An.  Hoi An is famous in Asia for it's concentration of bespoke tailors (we've seen tens, if not hundreds) and colonial architecture, which has given it the most fantastic feel for us and …

06:30 uur opstaan. Vannacht om 03:15 uur wakker gesmst door Justin, dus geen zin om uit mijn bed te komen. Om 08:00 uur vertrekken we naar de Marble Mountains. Caroline achterop bij de nachtportier van ons hotel (Pho Hoi II ressort) en Trudy bij mij achterop de brommer. Het heeft vannacht geregend,…

Thanks so much for the messages and smiles, guys!  Love jumping on to update and then get a surprise when I read the emails and messages on here.  It is great.  You all know what a sucker I am for home-sickness (normally kicks in after only 2 hours or so).  Hang in there, Nico…

After Saturday's wedding, 5 of us jumped on the bus for 20 000 Dong (about $1.25) and headed down to Hoi An, about an hour south. After checking into our hotel, we went and got measured for some clothes and headed down to the river to meet up with a few other people from another placement in Vietna…

Just posting some photos from my trips

The Fab friends went to Hanoi in March of 2008. We went to Halong Bay, Danang - Cham Museum and on our way to Hoi An, we stopped by Marble Mountain.
