I miss Hoi An. I miss the rest of Vietnam, too, but mostly Hoi An. If you ever plan to go to SEA, make sure you go there. And bring money for a made-to-measure suit
I always wonder how long a fresh coat of paint stays clean there. Every picture I’ve seen has moldy and flaking paint.
I’d estimate 5 - 7 years or so
I spent a few weeks there about a decade ago, loved the architecture of the city and the landscape. Plus the Vietnamese people were warm and welcoming. Hoping to go back to that part of the world again someday.
Did you take this picture? I love it by the way, good colors and feels like a candid slice of life there, captures that moment well.
I thought it was still great in 2019. And felt the same warmth and welcoming vibes, with plenty of great food.
It was obviously experiencing a lot of growth with plenty of tourists then. Some complained it was getting a little too touristy/crowded, but seems like you can find someone saying that phrase about nearly anywhere you go. Especially enjoyable places, which of course, tend to be popular.
Ah, Hoi An. One of my favorite places in Vietnam. I will forever cherish the memories my wife and I made there. Made friends with the lady that ran the hostel we were at, she gave us the most precious gifts when we left. I look forward to visiting her again.
Great photo

I expected animals, but human kids are cute too.
2 girls… thought it was another sub.
