Only in Vietnam can you ...

Only in Vietnam (Hoi An) can you be rowed to an island to visit the carpenters, by a very gracious lady, old enough to be your mother! 
 Only in Vietnam .. the water lilies are brighter, the furniture original, and your cant read the beach  signs, unless you read Vietnamese! 
 Only in Vietnam will you find ladies wearing their pajamas to do their shopping.. and hotels on deserted beaches that are amazing! 
 Only in Vietnam will you find amazing Chinoiserie Decor delights.. silks unimaginable! Paintings amazing.. embroidered linen shopping to die for!  Take an empty suitcase to Vietnam for sure! 
 Only in Vietnam will you find time to find yourself again.. Recover, relax, renew, regain, regrow, reconnect! Even though there are millions there,  you feel very special! One in a million always! 
 Only in Vietnam can you taste, see, discover .. rice paper rolls so fresh.. meet amazing new friendly people, and witness the moped mob.. 
 Only in Vietnam can you experience a Vietnam coffee! pure delight! watch those hips though! Oh, and what about all their beautiful salads?.. sweet, sour, salty, crispy, chilli, all in one mouthful! 

 Only in Vietnam (Saigon) can you find cathedrals that look like they should be in France! 
Only in Vietnam can you buy this inguinious little coffee filter.. I use mine daily! Please excuse me while I'm off to make another coffee
