Hanoi. Thought the ethnology museum and the women’s museum were fantastic. Only took pictures of the ice cream. Typical.

Halong Bay

“You HAVE TO go to Halong Bay,” everyone told us when we mentioned we were headed to Hanoi. “And you should do it the right way.” By that they meant we should stay overnight on the bay on a boat. So we did! And that’s how we ended up on an underbooked tour peering at [...]
More Food Porn, Hoi An

In Hoi An, Rob and I took a cooking class at Sunshine Cafe with this lovely lady, Hoi, who ran the place single-handedly. The kitchen was full of clutter, and though it was surprisingly large for a kitchen, it had a surprisingly small amount of work space for cooking. A large fish glubbed at us [...]

We decided to hit central Vietnam for a few days on our way north to Hanoi. Hoi An was a bit of a disappointment, because it didn’t have much character of its own. It felt more like set pieces of a town than a real town. Plus, I had trouble finding much of interest to [...]
Deliciousness, Ho Chi Minh

I felt fortunate that there were vegetarian Vietnamese restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. I would have felt like I hadn’t done Vietnam properly if I hadn’t gotten to try a veggie version of pho! If only the really tasty restaurant we went to our first night there hadn’t been converted into a watermelon market [...]

Last Penang post: some food-and-drink-stuffs. 1. Sloppy coffee at a corner cafe. This was the last black coffee I had for a while, since shortly after I began brief a love affair with the coffee + condensed milk combo that is rampantly popular in South East Asia. (Vegan version to come when I return to [...]

Yesterday, had the unexpected chance to learn how to make some sushi! Was shown how to make the tulip in the center, but did not actually attempt; the others are mine, though. Can you tell they’re roses?
Oh, Tokyo. So Much Strange, All the Time

This city. MAN. Sometimes I think I’ll be perfectly happy to leave it come the end of July, but other times, I just can’t imagine any other place in the world that can manage to be so utterly baffling and completely delightful all at once. Yesterday morning I watched a woman practice ballet on the [...]
