    love Hoi An. Was there 20 years ago. It's been overrun with tourists now but still worth visiting. They have the best chicken rice in the world.

      I too was there around May 2005. It was so dreamy. Stayed 3-4 weeks. Didn’t want to leave. My favourite town in my Asian travels.

    Good to see you're back. Now, I don't mean your back, as I have never seen it. ;) Hope you are doing well after surgery. I'll be in Hoi An next month. I'll be in VN for two months. If I like it, I'll go back to Oregon, sell everything and move there. I've lived in many places, so starting over even at 70, is no problem. Thank you for posting the restaurant.

    I spent 3-4 weeks in Hoi A back in 2005. Immersed myself in the local ways. Waking up at 4am walking or biking to the beach for a cool down swim and stop for a couple of bowls of pho on the way back to the hotel.
    Hands down my favourite place on Earth!.

      @ didn’t want to say but from your footage it looks very touristy now, (as it should be really, such a beautiful corner of the Earth, like any other, once the word spreads, people flock. But most won’t appreciate it the way I did and I think the way it should be).
      Reminds me of when I crossed over from Thailand to Laos and how genuine Laotians were compared to Thais and their fake smiles … I can imagine Laos now becoming flooded with tourists and those Lao people who have switched their livelihoods to the tourism industry). Times change, hey?
