How did the motorcycle cross the river?

When I was in Hoi An, I saw a very curious scene. Boats would carry a large number of motorcycles to nowhere. I wondered if they were new motorcycles, being shipped from the dealer’s to the wherever they sell motorbikes.

It’s a terrific place for a solo travelling female since being in a homestay feels safer than a generic hotel or a backpacker’s place where you meet drunk kids on their … Continue reading Stayed: Loc Phat Homestay, Hoi An review

#FoodFri Glutton in Hoi An part 1

Thought with all my cycling in Hoi An, I probably would have dropped one dress size. … Continue reading #FoodFri Glutton in Hoi An part 1
