Custom Shoes - Hoi An

I had these shoes made for abt $15AU in Hoi An. They are custom made so they fit like a glove. Aren't they sweet?

beautiful country, beautiful people

Both of these photos are taken in Hoi An in the centre of Vietnam. This ancient city is full of tailors and artists. The candles were put out by a fisherman to thank the gods for a good catch and the photo below shows the fishing fleet coming in with their catch.

Crossing the road!

When we were in Vietnam last year these crossing signs made us laugh! We used to call them the tourist crossing signs because they look like they're running! You have to be very zen to get across the road in Ho Chi Minh City, walk, don't stop, don't run.

Our Vietnam trip predates this blog but I thought it would be nice to show some pictures of our wonderful times there.
