Party/Festival

Lantern-City – Hoi An

February 14, 2025February 14, 2025 Steve 4 Comments Party/Festival, Point of Interest, Vietnam

Due to a bonehead move on my part, we are now spending the afternoon in the Da Nang airport, waiting for our flight to Hanoi. I accidentally booked our tickets for March 14th, rather than Valentine’s Day, February 14th. So let’s make some lemonade, and catch up on our posting. Hoi An sees over 3 […]

Cooking Class on Steroids

February 12, 2025February 12, 2025 Steve 2 Comments Food, Party/Festival, Point of Interest, Vietnam

We left HCMC, (always reminds me of Hennepin County Medical Center), and headed North by plane via Da Nang to Hoi An. This is a very walkable, smaller but busy, town. The weather is much cooler and it sprinkles rain daily. I’m freezing so we bought puffer jackets for around 25$ as we will need […]

Never have we wanted peace on earth more than this year! For those of you waiting for more posts, we’ve been a bit busy lately. Tomorrow is Christmas, and besides our proper English Christmas dinner, we should have time to do some catching up. One of the more curious things we’ve observed in Buddhist countries, […]

Fairwell Chang Rai

December 11, 2024December 11, 2024 Steve 1 Comment Conversation, Food, Friends, Party/Festival, Thailand

All good things must come to an end, and it had become our last day in Chang Rai. Pete invited me to his weekly coffee with a few of his friends. The coffee was grown in the mountains by one of the hill tribes. It was delicious. The conversation was all over the place, as […]

A Party for the New Village Leader

November 22, 2024November 22, 2024 Ellen 1 Comment Food, Friends, Party/Festival, Thailand

Pete and Lek met us at the airport. The airport was small and welcoming, and the Thai Lion Air flight was tight and quick. There will be more about Pete and Lek and their place in the future. Turns out, the village that their place is in, was having a party to welcome the new […]
