We spent the day in HCMC on our own, which was fun because we could wander aimlessly and discover the unexpected.

Sadly, we had to leave Hoi An. (What did I expect? We're on a tour of Vietnam, so pack your bags.) We took a short flight to the ever-vibrant, never-sleeping, wild-and-crazy Ho Chi Minh City…

Sometimes I dream I'm living in Bangkok's Chinatown, a Chinatown like no other that I've been to. It's enormous, and every night it's packed with people who are mainly there to eat.

Like San Francisco and New York City, food trucks are big in Tokyo. Well not exactly big but tiny in fact.
