Happy New Year!
We are celebrating New Year's Eve quietly tonight. We were invited to a dinner for all the hotel guests - and to bring a song we could sing at karaoke! Yes.. we were scared but fortunately had to excuse ourselves after only a drink so we could return to the Secret Garden one last time: it is the most amazing restaurant in Vietnam. We had a lovely dinner and rode the hotel bikes through the pouring rain and pitch black back to our hotel. Great fun.
We wish everyone a very Happy New Year's Eve!
Some gifts from under the 'tree'...
Mira styling....
Somethings haven't changed in Hoi An
... the chaos of wires and almost daily electrical outages.
The fisherman (and now tourists) continue to use the Coracle - a round boat with a skinny oar.
Scooters still rip down tight streets.
... the amazing lanterns in Hoi An.
Gas stations on wheels?
The very rough surf and disappearing beach....
Swans and ??? we are still wondering.. elephant? Water buffalo. I think pigs? Your thoughts?
Opinion Piece:
In the land of expert tailors, here are a few of my favourites..
So if you know me, you know I was a fan of MASH. Trapper had a suit made for himself by a tailor in Korea and it came back superbly made with the pin stripes the wrong way
.... the tradition may still be alive and well in Vietnam.
Happy New Year's to all.
