Country: Dominica

Experience

 Dominica is not an easy island to get to especially if you're not from the East.(sleep over) The descent by plane over the peaks and forests is quite memorable.We went in May, few tourists and no fiestas. Few restaurants open outside hotel. Cars drive left so it's scary on the mountainous very narrow routes. We hiked to some waterfalls and lakes, not grand but good exercise- but they push guides on you hence expensive. It's not an easy island to visit. Diving is worth a return. Stay at the Fort Young Resort, in center if you are not diver; at Castle Comfort if you are one.

 spent one night and two days in Bruges. enough time to visit Market Place with Belfry and City Hall. Church of Our Lady with Michelangelo's sculpture, only one exported from Italy. Visited Beguinage where unmarried women lived and made lace. A must is the multi passenger boat which takes you through the canals and under the bridges and the medieval facades architectures. Slept in Bourgoensch Hof, expensive for so-so rooms but centrally located and giving out on the canal -if you pay more. Delicious belgian beer on outside terrasses. With Rik and Arielleke, El and Ant on way to Peter's wedding.

 This was a while ago - but probably not that much has changed. There's a boardwalk where you can rent bikes and go up and down, some shopping, belgian restaurants, etc. A nice place to visit on the beach in Belgium.

 Got to Hoi An by flying into Da Nang from Hanoi, then taking a taxi service into Hoi An. Very nice town, the people were friendly, food was good, and there's definitely some culture to be enjoyed there. One day just walking down the street with another American friend, an elderly man waved to us and invited us into his home to sample his rice wine. How cool. Also, was there for Tet - the lunar new year. There was a big festival with dragon floats, etc., as well as a jar with marinated snake, frog, and bird head juice, from which people could do a shot - what a riot!

 What a cool city to visit, especially if you're of the 'backpack tourist' type. I remember looking at a central Hanoi street intersection for 10 minutes in awe - no traffic lights, cars, rickshaws, mopeds, and pedestrians navigating like spaghetti through the maze. Eating bowls of soup from street vendors for $0.50. Was in Vietnam for about 10 days, centered out of Hanoi, and enjoyed it greatly.
