Entry from: Hoi An, Vietnam Entry Title: "Silk lanterns, suits and banana pancakes...Hoi An!" Entry: "Our flight arrived in Hanoi about 11pm, so after some food we had a great sleep and were eager to explore the town the following day. We love Hoi An. Its gorgeous; very french, very old Asia. Its a boutiquey little town, with a river running through and a beach 5 km away. We walked around the first day, visiting some tourist sights like the Japanese bridge which is guarded by monkeys one end and dogs the other (not live ones mind you) and the old Chinese Assembly hall. The architecture here is beautiful, really influenced by the Chinese and the French, everything is so quaint. Our hotel was about 400 meters from the Old Town, so we were close enough to the action without being in the middle of it which was nice. We went out for a few drinks late afternoon, and found a place which sold draught beer for 3000dong - thats about 25cents NZD, or 13p!!! A few people we had met told us to check out a bar/restaurant called Cargo, which we planned on going to for dinner, but when we saw the menu price we decided to get another beer and eat elsewhere. Mains were about USD, which is nothing, but the longer you are over here the more you think things are expensive, its funny how quickly you get like that. It ...

"Chinatown" Cowboyjim74's photos about San Francisco, United States (china boondocks san francosco)

Entry from: San Francisco, United States Entry Title: "Chinatown" Entry: "This morning we began our day by trying to find the nearest BART station, BART being Bay Area Rail Transit. Actually we knew where the nearest station was in San Bruno, and the GPS gave us directions to it. Correction: the GPS gave us directions to a place across the street with no visible way to get through the chain link fence, across the sidewalk or over the CalTrain tracks. A full twenty minutes later, after getting directions to the Target next to the BART station (this time the GPS worked perfectly), we arrived and purchased round trip tickets to downtown and back. Our adventure for the day was a self-guided walking tour of SF's famed Chinatown. Upon entering the "gate" of Chinatown nearly every shop was overflowing with brocade coin purses, painted silk fans, lacquered chopsticks, ceramic teapots, carved Buddha statues and cards decorated with Chinese characters. We spent some time looking through some of the nicer looking shops until we happened upon a shop selling fair trade wallets, bags and purses from Vietnam. We eventually purchased a couple of things from this shop later in the day on our return trip toward the BART station. Just a few blocks into Chinatown we visited the Chinese Historical Society of America ...

Flowers Or Far East, Garden and Asian Wedding Favors Are Great Idea
Couples planning a wedding in today's society have many different elements to consider. Theme and colors are two things that merit consideration along with what type of decorations to use in the chosen theme. Two of the nicer ideas for outdoor ceremonies and receptions are garden and Asian themes. Whatever the couple decides, wedding favors can be found that will match the theme and make great gifts to give the guests to thank them for attending that will also become keepsakes to remind them of the happy event.
Many aspects of the far east are absolutely fascinating to occidentals. Outdoor decorations, including candlelit paper lanterns and certain elements of the written language can be beautiful parts of an outdoor western wedding if handled in the right way. For this reason, many couples opt to have an Asian theme. Couples who choose an Asian theme can normally find many different items to use as Asian wedding favors when shopping online. These items are small, inexpensive, and among the most beautiful items that can be given as "Thank you" gifts and keepsakes to remind the guests of the event.
Silk and paper Asian fans, candles, and a wide range of items that contain the Chinese glyphs meaning "love" and "double happiness" are among the options for couple to choose from when giving Asian wedding favors. Many couples have found shopping for these little gifts to be a restful diversion from dealing with many of the more difficult aspects of trying to plan the ceremony and reception.
A garden theme is another very popular choice in outdoor themes that many couples choose to celebrate the abundance of life that surrounds them. Flowering plants create some of the most beautiful of decorations for such events and flowers tend to be the major thematic element of garden wedding favors. These items can actually be any thing a person can dream of if they have some sort of flowers decorating them.
Among the most popular items chosen as garden wedding favors is a packet of mixed flowering seeds for the guests to take home and plant in their own flower garden as a perennial reminder of the happiness shared with the couple on this special day.
In order to make the wedding come out being the fantasy setting that the bride has always dreamed of, it is necessary to make sure that the setting in done perfectly whether an Asian theme or a garden theme is chosen. Giving Asian or garden wedding favors is among the best ways to thank the guests for taking the time from their own schedules to attend and make this day as nearly perfect for the couple as is humanly possible to achieve. Among wedding favors, these are some of the most beautiful and memorable styles available.
