potw - hoi an

We just wrapped up a fantastic month in Vietnam and are now in Taiwan. I uploaded the photos from Vietnam here. This photo was taken in one of our favorite towns, Hoi An. I woke up early on our final morning and took several photos along the river. This old lady flagged me over to take her picture and promptly asked me for a dollar when I was done.

A dollar probably goes a long way. Wonderful photos. John, Steve and Tom really enjoyed them. Oh, me too.

Glad people liked them. It was a beautiful place.

I have been traveling through Vietnam and Cambodia last December and I have to say that Hoi An was one of my favroite places. Especially when you like to photograph, it is a great place - so many wonderful opportunities for a nice shot around you... Did you pay the dollar to the old lady?

Hi Kristina,
I agree on Hoi An, it was one of our favorites. It reminded me a lot of Luang Prabang in Loas. As for the dollar, I told her upfront that I had no money, I guess you can't blame her for asking.
