Le lanterne colorate di Hoi An in Vietnam

Le lanterne colorate di Hoi An in Vietnam.
Uno dei luoghi simbolo del Vietnam è la piccola cittadina di Hoi An le cui strade sono famose per le piccole casette affacciate sull’acqua e, soprattutto, alla tradizione delle lanterne.
Appena fa buio infatti si accendono migliaia di queste lanterne e le strade, sempre pienissime di turisti, si illuminano di mille colori.
Ovviamente si possono comprare come souvenir e anche se quelle tradizionali sono ricoperte di carta, alcune, sono realizzate in maniera pregevole tanto modo ai turisti di portarle a casa senza danneggiarle.

A beautiful sunset in Hoi An in Vietnam

Tramonto ad Hoi An, in Vietnam

A beautiful sunset in Hoi An in Vietnam
One of the best times to enjoy a walk in this little village is in the late afternoon at sunset.
Soon the lanterns for which the town is famous will begin to be lit.
But let's stay at sunset: the reddish lights make the already magical atmosphere of this place even more surreal.
Boats ready to transport tourists up and down the river.
Quasi un sogno!

Halloween in Vietnam

Halloween in Vietnam

Halloween in Vietnam.
Ormai ogni festa è globale ed in tutto il mondo si festeggiano tutte le ricorrenze pagane e religiose.
Nessuno bada più al fatto che siano feste che non appartengono al costume locale.
Queste, ad esempio, erano proposte in visa della festività in arrivo, nelle vie di Hanoi in Vietnam.
Mi faceva strano il contratto tra le lanterne rosse e colorate (un classico dell’Asia) e le zucche di plastica arancione alle spalle.
Ormai non ci si stupisce più di niente!
Buon Halloween a tutti comunque!

Hoi An, the small town of lanterns in Vietnam

Hoi An

Hoi An, the small town of lanterns in Vietnam.
The splendid town south of Da Nang. Famous for its lanterns and lights on the river in the evening. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A walk in the chaotic streets that this time are made difficult to walk only by the many tourists (mostly Korean and Chinese) and not by scooters!
The small houses covered with flowering climbing plants offer heavenly views.
Then in the evening, with the setting of the sun, all the lanterns light up and the town takes on an even greater charm.

Singapore sotto la pioggia

Singapore sotto la pioggia

Singapore sotto la pioggia.
Sicuramente una delle cose che visitando questa citta’ non ti perderai e’ la pioggia.
Qui piove quasi sempre: una ramata (come diciamo a Genova) colossale, magari di pochi minuti, ma quasi ogni giorno.
Questa foto e’ stata scattata mentre eravamo in visita alla China Town locale, un’ora di pioggia tropicale e poi basta… ritorno al sole ed al caldo soffocante.
