A few highlights:
The food at the large seafood restaurant. Here are the over 50 large aquariums, also with stingrays in the 4 very large ones. Everything to eat.
We then contented ourselves with 2 salads, a pasta dish, and a fish. We couldn't figure out in which aquarium he spent his last hours...
Then we continued to Hoi-An. This former village is a real old town and overcrowded with tourists - and therefore prices doubled. There we ate in a restaurant converted from an old building.
In the center of Hoi-An there was a 'Japanese Bridge'. So called because it crosses a small sea arm so low. There was this boat event. Without any historical background, just because tourists like it. Laura also released a lucky ship with a candle. (Which, by the way, are all fished out again)
Laura then found a cotton candy, and I found 'Origami' (Japanese paper folding art), which also hints at Japanese influences here. I bought two of them.
Van found two paper lanterns that were traditionally made only here for her booth and her sister's booth at the Asia Street Food Festival (Events - Asian Street Food). To be admired in Bern at:
But today we will learn more about the history, because Van is currently organizing a guided tour of Hoi-An's history in the evening.
