Hoi An; Cookery, Old Town, Bamboo Circus

Vietnamese food is well known for being healthy and nutritious and delicious; this evening, we went to the Green Mango restaurant in the Old Town to attend a Cookery Class. This provided the opportunity to see how it was done and then eat it! It was excellent, and so was the food (see captions on photos).

The next day is a free day, so Helen and I visit the Old Town to explore it and do a little shopping (see captions on photos).

After a break back at the hotel, the group went to The Lune Centre on An Hoi Island to see the Teh Dar Bamboo Circus show. This was absolutely incredible; amazing gymnastics and great music with singing. It tells the story about the circle of life and death for all living beings on Earth, told through the lens of Vietnamese Tribal Culture - "tel dar" means "travelling the circle". Photography during the show itself is strictly forbidden, so I have captured images from the official website (we saw all these things).

After the show, we went for dinner at The Hoianian Restaurant on the Riverfront;this coincided with a full moon and high tide..

An amazing 30 hours.Read more
