My cheongsam from Hoi An
Hoi An, Vietnam, is famous for its tailors. You literally cannot walk down a street without passing at least 2 tailors. (Well, not too literally if you’re passing paddy fields.) Continue reading My cheongsam from Hoi An

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. So when I saw one of the boats passing by while I was on the boat ride back to Hoi An from My Son, I … Continue reading How did the motorcycle cross the river?

So during my trip to Hoi An last week, I ate like the glutton I am.

See you in Vietnam!
If the weather permits, I’ll be landing in Da Nang airport, Vietnam, at 4pm+ Singapore time later today. I bought the tickets last October when AirAsia started its flight to Da Nang–9 months in advance. It wasn’t until the past few months that I started reading up on Da Nang. I was thinking of places to visit but I realized the historical town Hoi An … Continue reading See you in Vietnam!
