Travel Post - Lanterns! Lanterns! Lanterns! Hoi An, Vietnam - Part 12

Been tied up with project work and yes!....trying to keep my own promise to blog somehow.  Today's post will be pics, pics and pics. Hoi An and its charms has captivated me enough to warrant another trip in the near future hopefully, the simplicity of it all; the great food adventure, the beauty of the place and its people.  One of the things that never fails to draw my attention ?

The lanterns here in Hoi An.  They are everywhere! Hung in trees, lining the streets, as common lights in shops...well really,...everywhere. Of course, shops selling the lanterns are aplenty and they come in all shapes, colours and sizes!

We even went for a short "make-a-lantern" course at one of the shops for USD6 (I forgot the name of the shop but it's around the corner from Guso Cafe) where we got to make and bring home our very own lantern!  There are more expensive courses around, do check out the different prices if you are keen on signing up.  Some are more comprehensive and of longer duration.

One can even get them to specially make a lantern of your desired design, for a relatively reasonable price.  If you love such lanterns, you are totally spoilt for choice here in Hoi An and might just find yourself buying more than just one or two.  Stay strong! :o)
