Hoi An's Charming Vietnamese Architecture





We took an overnight sleeper bus to Hoi An to relax in the French colonial ambience of the once bustling port city before slipping (not so gracefully as you will soon find out) into Laos. The buildings and views in this touristy city were marvellous as was the food. Here we indulged in some of our favourite Vietnamese food that we encountered on our trip. The fish wrapped in banana leaf was to die for!




It was so peaceful walking the markets and shops near the canal in the misty rain of early morning. Shopkeepers made their routine morning offerings and women in traditional straw hats floated on by as wedding photos tried to capture the moment that could as well happened a hundred years before.

That is so beautiful, and odly enough it's exactly how I would picture it.
