Using his beloved Holga, he consumed a roll of Fujichrome Provia 400X in Hoi An. It was also a rather pathetic excuse to let his shoulders relax for a short while. Out of the whole set, these are his favourites.

Love the color.

He already tried hard to get the horizon right, still…

While waiting for the ladies to shop, the world drifted, slowly but surely.

Bird’s nest extraction, Vietnam style.

The stars in Hoi An are not found in the sky, and they are mostly red.

Yu Xin by the Japanese Bridge with his brother-in-law’s beloved Canon A80. Unfortunately, the camera’s shutter stopped working the day after. =(

Hot and sleepy afternoon. No business.

Everyone was resting.

Even the ladies.

But not her.

Vietnam Trip – Hoi An

Hoi An was the third stop of their Vietnam trip. They flew by the budget Pacific Airlines from Ho Chi Minh City to Danang airport, followed by a 30-minutes cab to Hoi An. Saved a lot of time compared to other modes of transport , and the SGD 140 one-way ticket for two was actually comparable to train ticket.

Hoi An is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. It was declared World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1999.

First encounter – a herd of cow dominating the street.

It was a scorching hot afternoon when they arrived.

The clothes should have dried up already.

Colorful paintings.

The Japanese Covered Bridge was built in the middle of the 16th century by Japanese merchants. The construction of the bridge was supposed to pierce the heart of an enormous monster whose head was in India, tail in Japan and body in Vietnam. =)

The magic hours. Fishing kid. Perfect backdrop. And he had finally got his catch of the day.
