WALKING IN VIETNAM

The best way to orient yourself in a foreign country is to walk. Everyday we pound the footpaths, ducking down alley ways, walking up different streets, perusing roadside stalls. This is the best way to find new and interesting things.

This trip has been the coldest we have ever experienced. Hanoi, the mercury dipped to 7 degrees. Typically we hadn't packed enough to compensate for this so we thought we would flee south instead where you are usually guaranteed sun and a swim by the pool. Hoi An bound, the gorgeous little town where I do most of my wholesale production, we were met with torrential rain, blustering winds and soggy shoes.

My fashion sense is non existent as I layer what ever cotton clothing I have with me, which isn't much as my luggage was full of fabrics, sketches & samples for my manufacturer.

The clouds are getting lighter so off to town for a coffee and some more random ambling. Here are a few images that made me smile along the way.

I love the welcoming towel origami
