Clothes shopping in Hoi An, a new experience for us.


Lesley bought a couple of blouses and a dress in Bi, which were adjusted by this lovely lady.  I know this is not a new experience for many but it was for us.
Loved the changing room.  A sheet draped across a corner.
I also had a tea chi suit made at Phuong New but you aint seeing me in that on here👿

If they are still Shell agents I hope they don't get a new sign.

An old Shell sign on a building in Hoi An (probably hated by Royal Dutch Shell's Marketing Dept.)

That's not the way to tie a bowtie.


All dressed up and nowhere to go.  What is the Asian equivalent to Crufts.

Old Lady in Market selling cooked rice.


River at Hoi An

The boats look traditional but are used to take tourists for a ride😎.
Taken from a moving bus, so not perfect.  A traditional looking scene until you notice the modern clothes, green wellies and watering cans.  Still she's wearing a traditional hat (like all the tourists are) and using a wooden yoke to carry the cans.

Sometimes I sit and fish, sometimes I just sit.
