Le Domaine De Tam Hai Resort Da Nang

... they have so much land. There were probably about 10 high rises & those probably only had about 10-15 floors. When the children get married, the husband’s family pays for the whole wedding, flowers, clothes etc. The reason for that is because the bride’s family looses their daughter as she moves in with her husband’s family. There are several generations living in the same house which works for child care & also looking after the ...

... a return visit here is required, to have more of a splurge!

Good cafes, restaurants, cake shops (addictive..), so I felt happy here on my own as there's plenty to do. On our first night, I ate in town, at one of the street stalls and had probably the best meal yet - just a simple chicken & noodles, but it was delicious, followed by banana & coconut pancake and 2 beers, all for the princely sum of about gbp 2.25 ...

... was really beautiful. I then took a closer look at some of their duffle coats which were a bit of a trend in Hoi An at the time. I tried one on and had to have one. It was just so Paddington bear and reminded me of when we dressed Ben up in Granny’s Paddington bear doll’s clothes when he was about 2. So I got a coat made in charcoal with hot pink silk piping and lining. It was ridiculous trying to try on a coat in that kind of heat but it was worth it in the end. So my being ...

... change d hotel, afin d eviter d etre sur front de mer. Il a plu constamment pendant 2 jours. Selon les donnes meteorologiques, le typhon Ketsana etait niveau 2 lorsqu il a frappe le centre du Vietnam, mardi apres-midi. Nous avons bien ressenti les vents, mais etions a l abri dans un hotel barricade. En fait, les dommages ont plutot ete causes par les inondations qui ont suivi. Les rues (dans les environs) ont ete ...

... best bit was probably when we got a bit lost and ended up taking the stairs to the summit (it's not a huge mountain by the way!). The views were amazing...

We also visited China Beach... It was lovely but the sea was really choppy so we decided not to stay too long as we were both dying to swim and didn't want to be tempted!

Hoi An have a few local dishes which we, of course, tried out... Cao lau (noodles with pork strips ...

... t pay me for it later". Ahaha, right, good call Rob! Not! All night I tossed and turned till my stomach hurt so bad It felt like I was having nuts crunched up in my stomach while being lit on fire by a Zippo lighter (great lighters). At 6am I awoke to "drop the kids off at the pool" and it was faster than usual. Note* I'm trying to night be to descriptive, but also trying to get the point across. I was done for all day, saying ...

... by 40%. Otherwise you feel stiffed like the idiot they think you are.

Haggling can be exhausting. It just takes the fun out of shopping because you never really know how much more you’re paying.

Fortunately, haggling also works up an appetite and the one thing that requires no haggling is food. I unloaded my purchases back at the hotel and after a short rest went back to the central market to eat with the locals. The food was ...

Well, I'm writing to say what up! And tell ya about some funny things that have happened. We had our friend Shawn Stevens visit us this week from South Korea. He's up there teaching kindergardeners at a very prestigeious school near Sol. Its been great to have him though just because having another person here mixes up the dynamics of the house and it feels good to have a different perspective on things as well as being ...

... auf einmal mehr Geld haben und das Kaffee, das ich mir zum Fruehstuecken ausgesucht habe war auch nicht mehr da. Toll** Tag. Bin dann umh**geirrt und muss sagen, dass die Roll**fahr** hi** schon wied** sehr unangenehm aufdringlich sind. Nachdem es die Reiseagentur auch nicht mehr zu geben scheint, hatte ich g**ade beschlossen mich im Hotelzimm** unt** mein** Bettdecke zu v**stecken, als auf einmal, wie aus dem Nichts mein gutes altes Sinh Cafe ...

... to take me but the brother said it was too dangerous because they had all been drinking including himself. What followed was a 20 minute argument over who was going to take me to the Seventeen Saloon, with the brother shouting at the friend, insisting that I take a taxi and not a motorbike. Eventually, the brother grabbed my arm and said he would take me himself because then he would get to talk to me longer and then invited me to hang out with ...
