Don’t say ‘yum’ in Vietnam: A Hoi An cooking class adventure
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 26 March 2012
‘When foreign people come to the Hoi An market, they say ‘mmm this is delicious’ and ‘mmmm yum’, says our petite Vietnamese guide who will later metamorphose into a chef for our cooking class. ‘But you shouldn’t say yum in Vietnam’, she continues, smiling a big smile. ‘Do you know why?’ I look at her, [...]

In the city of tailors
Blog: Drifting Aimless - 21 March 2011
I take the early morning bus to Hoi An, a city famed for its tailoring industry. Having been fitted for a nice cashmere suit I became dimly aware and somewhat troubled by the fact that it would almost certainly not fit me once I returned from traveling. I found it strange that despite the fact [...]

Little Artist Girl, Hoi An
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 20 February 2011
The best cup of coffee—or rather, glass of coffee, tinkling with ice cubes and a teeny spoon for stirring—I had in Hoi An wasn’t at one of the wicker-chair, wifi-ready terrace cafes with an English menu. Sure, those were nice too: to sit and look out on the lantern-lined pedestrian streets and tailor shops and [...]

No Hue: Hue Riders Knock-Off
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 18 February 2011
Mr. Loc is over it. He slows the motorbike, pulling over to the skinny shoulder of the highway that wraps seductively around the lush green mountain. He points. “Photo.” It’s more of a command than a suggestion. I snap of shot of the vista—pretty, with rice paddies and a cloak of fog. But I couldn’t [...]

Clinton Stayed Here?????
Blog: Kate McVaugh's Rambles - 15 February 2011
I am in a really, really nice hotel. I am by no means a 5-star traveler, but am way past the super-budget rooms of my younger years. I suppose I’d be categorized as a Flash Packer, which is the group between the two extremes. And this hotel is a bit above that level.

Hoi An

I’ve arrived in Nirvana, was my first thought as I rolled into the town of Hoi An a few days ago. After a month of noise, pollution, and 90F/32C degree temperatures, this is such a welcome change.

The Prettiest Train Ride I Slept Through
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 19 December 2010
Vietnam is a bigger country than most people expect, and backpackers will at some point find themselves traversing from one length to the other on some form of time-quickening transport—plane (for those who didn’t go bust in Hoi An), or … Continue reading →The Prettiest Train Ride I Slept Through is a post from: Nilikuta Shani

Memorial Day on China Beach

Hoi An, Vietnam, is known internationally for several things—cheap, made to order tailoring (there are well over 100 bespoke clothing stores here); it’s famous noodles, said to be made out of the local well-water; and for being a World Heritage … Continue reading →Memorial Day on China Beach is a post from: Nilikuta Shani

Vietnam Pictorial
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 3 December 2010
Quite literally some of the fastest moving people on the planet, it is a miracle that I could get anyone to stand still long enough to capture them on film. That said, the chaotic frenzy known as Vietnam also has a serene side. Both extremes work to create a photographer’s paradise – check out our [...]

Vietnamese Salads
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 29 October 2010
What I really love about Vietnamese food is the integration of fresh, uncooked fruit and vegetables into many of the dishes. If you like light and fresh, it doesn’t get much better than Vietnamese salads. Although famous beyond the borders of Vietnam, we had a hard time finding restaurants which offered them here in the [...]

The Best Service Ever
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 28 October 2010
We don’t normally recommend hotels because everyone’s expectations of a place and how much they should pay are so different. This time, however, we have to make an exception. Almost immediately after entering the Hoang Trinh Hotel in Hoi An, we knew this place was different. Exhausted after an 11-hour bus ride from Nha Trang, [...]

Suit Shopping in Hoi An, Land of the Tailor

At some point during this trip I began thinking about what I'll have to do once I return home. While considered a general no-no for long term travel, as one can often get fixated on the unknowns of life, some thoughts began to cross my mind. One of those was interviewing for jobs once

Beach Treats
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 26 October 2010
With over 3,000 kilometers of coastline, nothing in Vietnam is really far from the beach. Between exploring Hoi An’s old town and sampling local cuisine, we took an afternoon out to relax at An Bang Beach, a long, nearly undeveloped stretch of sand a few kilometers outside of town. What seemed to be an almost [...]
