Late Night Train To Saigon

That’s got a nice ring to it — like the title of some new Angelina Jolie movie.

Vietnam was just getting better and better by the minute and Ho Chi Minh city (f.k.a. Saigon) would soon prove to be no exception. It’s always a great relief when you have high hopes for something and you’re not in the least bit let down.

New Years 2.0, Nha Trang Style

Thanks to the lunar new year we get to celebrate our second New Years in as many months! In just a few hours this little beach town transformed into quite the party town. May the new year bring you many good fortunes!

Hoi An

A quaint little town in the middle of Vietnam where the streets are lined with tailors and seamstresses that can make any custom fitted outfit that you can dream up in a matter of hours.

The lunar new year is just around the corner. You can feel it in the air — hence the masks.

Controlled Chaos

I rolled into Hanoi at about midnight, and I should have known by the way the cab driver was driving that this was going to be one unforgeable experience! That evening didn’t even prepare me for the controlled chaos that would be revealed the next morning. They say that if you want to safely cross the street here, just close your eyes and start walking. I believe it. And the way in which they are able to balance the most awkwardly shaped objects on their tiny two-wheeled scooters is worthy of any carnival act. I saw everything from trees, to dogs, to families, to dressers, to doors and even birds being transported on the back, front and sides of these mopeds.
