Zeptejte se kohokoliv, kdo vari nejlip, a vetsina lidi vam odpovi, ze babicka. U nas v rodine mozna dedecek, tezko rict, kazdopadne leta zkusenosti v kuchyni se u prarodicu rozhodne nezaprou. Neni tomu jinak ani ve Vietnamu a Babiccina skola vareni ve meste Hoi An se tesi velkemu uspechu. Asi nemusim zminovat, ze na kurz … Continue reading Lucernicky v Hoi An
What's better than grandma's cooking? Perhaps grandpa's cooking in my family but normally nothing beats nan's tried and tested recipes. Vietnam is no exception to the rule which is why Grandma's Cooking Class in Hoi An is such a success. It probably goes without saying we signed up straight away. In the morning we got … Continue reading The lanterns of Hoi An
Borovice menime za palmy a vyrazime na plaz! Prestoze jsme z Dalatu odjizdeli v 7 rano, posadili nas na spaci autobus, kde se daji sedacky sklopit do temer horizontalni polohy, takze osmihodinova cesta byla docela v pohode. Pana ridice jsme poprosili, jestli by nas mohl vyhodit po ceste, at zbytecne nejezdime tam a zpatky, a … Continue reading Bai Xep
We're swapping pine trees for palm trees and heading to the beach! Although we left Dalat at 7am we were put on a sleeper bus where the recliner seats go nearly horizontal so the eight hour journey was nice and comfy. We asked the drivers to stop en route for us so we don't need to … Continue reading Bai Xep
Okoli Dalatu si pry clovek nejvice uzije na dvou kolech, ale na bicykl to je moc do kopce a ridit skutr to neni nic pro me. Tak co ted? Nastesti je tady jeste treti moznost - Easy Rider! Aneb nasadte si helmu a pohodlne se usadte na motorce, ale rizeni nechte na nekom zkusenejsim. Kho … Continue reading Motorkari v Dalatu
Dalat is known as the city of eternal spring. Nestled in South Vietnam's highlands, it has its own temperate climate which makes for pleasurable non-sweaty daytime strolls. It's a very laid back, lovely city and has become a place for Vietnamese couples to come and take romantic photographs before an engagement. Our mornings always started … Continue reading Dalat
Nedovedla jsem si predstavit, ze nekdy uvidim rusnejsi ulice nez v Bangkoku, nicmene Ho Ci Minovo mesto, drive nazyvane Saigon, poctem motorek trumfne aji thajskou metropoli. Adrenalinova aktivita zvana prechod pres cestu nabyva novych rozmeru. Dopravni zacpa? Nevadi, strihnem to pres chodnik. Totalni blazinec. Clovek hned pozna, ze je ubytovany v renomovanem podniku, kdyz jedno … Continue reading Saigon
I never thought I'd see a place with as many scooters as Bangkok but Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, trumps even the Thai capital. Crossing the street is an adventure in it's own right. Traffic jam? No problem, just drive on the sidewalk. It's mental. You know you're staying at a classy … Continue reading Saigon
"Prominte, ale na vase jmeno tady rezervaci nemame. Pres co jste to objednavala?" "Hotels .com" "Jo to tam neavizujeme my, mame s tim uz par dni problemy." "Ale to uz je zaplacene." "Nam penize neprisly." "Aha, no dobre, poresim to s nimi potom. Muzeme si teda aspon zaplatit pokoj na primo?" "Mame plno." Parada. Je … Continue reading Delta Mekongu
"We don't have a reservation in your name madam, sorry. Where did you book?" "Hotels .com" "Oh, sorry, that's a fake listing, we've been having problems with that." "But it's already paid for." "Yes, sorry, we didn't get no money." "All right, I'll sort it out with them. Do you have any available rooms?" "No, … Continue reading Mekong Delta
