This is the BEST BEER in VIETNAM.
Gary, if you are there, don't forget to try those street side beer....
But I'm not sure whether they are still around...
Keep those pictures coming, enjoyed viewing your Sapa series.
From Sapa, we went back to Hanoi and then took a night train to central Vietnam.
Then we reach the best part of the trip... Hoi An. That place was so nice that we spent 5 full days in this small little town... Walking the old streets and eating all the traditional cuisine.
One of the famous landmark in Hoi An is the Japanese Bridge.
From Wikipedia, introduction to Hoi An:
Hoi An is a city on the coast of the South China Sea in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It is located in Quảng Nam province and is home to approximately 120,000 inhabitants.
The city possessed the largest harbour in Southeast Asia in the first century and was known as Lâm Ấp Phố (Champa City). Between the seventh and 10th centuries, the Cham (people of Champa) controlled the strategic spice trade and with this came tremendous wealth. The boats still used today in Hội An probably[citation needed] have the same hull shape as those used by the Champas for ocean voyages.
The former harbour town of the Cham at the estuary of the Thu Bon river was an important Vietnamese trading centre in the 16th and 17th centuries, where Chinese from various provinces as well as Japanese, Dutch and Indians settled. During this period of the China trade, the town was called Hai Pho (Seaside Town) in Vietnamese. Originally, Hai Pho was a divided town with the Japanese settlement across the "Japanese Bridge"(16th-17th century). The bridge (Chùa cầu) is a unique covered structure built by the Japanese, the only known covered bridge with a Buddhist pagoda attached to one side.[citation needed]
The town is known to the French and Spanish as “Faifo,” and by similar names in Portuguese and Dutch. A number of theories have been put forth as to the origin of this name. Some scholars[who?] have suggested that it comes from the word "hải-phố" (海浦
meaning "sea town", while others have said that it is more likely simply a shortening of Hội An-phố (會安浦, "the town of Hội An", to "Hoi-pho" which became "Faifo".[1]
In 1999, the old town was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port of the 15th to 19th centuries, with buildings that display a unique blend of local and foreign influences.

Oooooooooo!!!!! Looks good! I like the idea of having a beer on the streetside after shooting or in the middle of shooting for a nice break
Thanks for the nice comments. I will scan them and share them here...
Miss those days where photography is so simple... just point and shoot and send to the lab to process and print them on 4R...
Anyway, with modern digital media, we can share them with anyone in the world, Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, Russia.... the world have indeed becomes smaller....

Yes. It is so good that I actually bought a second one after my wife lost it in HaErBin in 2002.
But the second one I bought was made in China. The first one I had was made in Japan. Nevertheless, it's still a good camera.
Sharing some more pics from my old stack of negatives...
Sapa, Sunday market 2001. Not sure whether it's still the same now...
Very nice series Boss!!
Very tempted to make a detour to Sapa on my next business trip to Hanoi in July

It's a nice place. Do remember to go on weekend. Weekday, I don't advise.
According to Lonely Planet, they have this thing call Love Market on Saturday night.
Try google and you can find something interesting to read about it...
Here's a link:

It's very close to the border of China. Infact they sell Chinese beer there!
Spend at least 3 nights, it's a pretty long journey up there...
