Three perfect little laid back towns. Luang Prabang, Laos; Hue, Vietnam and now Hoi An, Vietnam. The kinds of places you could just hang out in for weeks, enjoying the atmosphere and vibe.
So what makes a perfect town? Small, no crazy traffic, a laid back feel, Chinese and French Colonial influenced architecture, a beautiful physical setting, nice family run guesthouses, tons of small restaurants and bars with great food and cheap beer, and lots of wonderful places to shop for interesting locally produced goods. Yes, these places are touristy, but there is lots of opportunity to interact with the locals, and it is the touristy things that truly make it so nice.
We are here for three full days, then off to Saigon and the Mekong Delta region.
