Hoi An, world heritage site





malnourished cattle on the banks of the river, between Hoi An and My Son

My Son Champa site

My Son is pronounced "me sun". It is about 2 hours from Hoi An. Much of the sculpture has been taken to the Champa Museum in Da Nang, which I didn't go see.

hanoi

my friendly cyclo driver in Hanoi. he learned english from a book, and it was a lot better than the few vietnamese phrases i learned from my routledge tapes. normally i don't take pictures of people as 'souvenirs', but he was one of the nicest people i met in vietnam.


beautiful bougainvillea spilling from a balcony near the Dong Xuan market.


supermarkets are so comforting somehow.
