Giorno 9
Hue Citadel and food tour
21 novembre 2022, Vietnam ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
We arrived in Hue (pronounced hway) - the old capital of Vietnam and the seat of the Nguyen dynasty. We went to the old city Citadel and marveled at many palaces and temples, while learning about the 13 Nguyen emperors that ruled from 1802 to 1945. Even though it was a pouring rain, we still very much enjoyed the Citadel. Especially the intricate ceramic decorations. Interestingly, there were no ceramics produced in Vietnam, so they used broken pieces from Chinese and European ceramics! In the afternoon we went on a Hue food tour, and especially enjoyed the market visit where we bought a delicious custard apple!Leggi altro

Giorno 10
Hue emperor tombs and pagodas
22 novembre 2022, Vietnam ⋅ 🌧 25 °C
In the morning we were graced with the great weather, as the promised rain failed to show up! We took a boat tour to the main pagoda of Hue, and walked in the peaceful ground of its active monastery with monks tending to their chickens. We then visited 4 tombs of various Nguyen emperors, who all differed in their style and decorations, but all followed the same structure of courtyards, a stella stone with their life story and finally the mausoleum where the body may or may not be buried for some of them. They liked to keep their exact burial place a secret. On the way back we stopped by at the incense making village.Leggi altro

Evening in Hoi An
22 novembre 2022, Vietnam ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
We took a 3 drive from Hue to Hoi An, which is a beautifully romantic old coastal town, which is famous for its lanterns on the riverfront and old well preserved buildings. For a change, we had a wonderful dinner in a Greek restaurant, and listened to a live music. And most importantly, we met Mimi, the magical tailor, who helped me design two dresses and made them!Leggi altro

Hoi An Old Town
23 novembre 2022, Vietnam ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
We spent the morning walking around the old town, visiting old well preserved buildings. Typically, there was someone giving us a quick tour of the layout, saying that they are the descendants (9th generation) of the original owners and the building is a blend of Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese architectural styles. They would also show us a home shrine of where they worship their ancestors. We also saw embroidery artisans and many intricate temples, as well as the famous Japanese bridge. Hoi An has early been connected with Japan through the marriage of Japanese princess with the Vietnamese emperor.Leggi altro

Hoo An cooking class and evening show

In the morning we joined a full day cooking class with a local chef, housed in the kitchen of her house. We started in the market, buying all the ingredients, from meat to herbs. And then we cooked 6 dishes together, all of which were really delicious! In the evening we went to see a Memories show, telling the stories and legends of Hoi An, with over 100 dancers and performers.Leggi altro

Evening in Saigon
25 novembre 2022, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
In the morning, we flew to Ho Chi Min City, or it’s more popular old name Saigon. We were met with crazy chaotic motor bike traffic, where every road crossing is a challenge. We walked around, into some temples, and captured magical sunset over the city’s largest building, it’s financial center. In the evening, we attended our first tango milonga of the special Saigon tango week.Leggi altro

Saigon Day 3
27 novembre 2022, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
We had wonderful brunch with eggs Benedict and an amazing cronut. Then we went to the Independence or Reunification Palace, where we visited all the state rooms, and fascinating presidential bunker. Then we went for an afternoon tango workshop, followed by delicious lunch of poke (yes, again!). In the afternoon we went to Cholon area to visit some beautiful pagodas and the random, but highly instagrammable pink church. And in the evening it was our last milonga with our new tango friends, now Nuevo style. It was the Argentinian guest instructor 50th birthday and very fun celebrations. And then it was goodbye Vietnam, at our amazing Air Japan business class flight with delicious Japanese morsels!Leggi altro
