Silk Lanterns of Hoi An

Silk Lanterns of Hoi An

The brightness and colorful lanterns instantly caught my eyes when I hanging around in this ancient town during night.

And these silk lanterns are handmade in the town of Hoi An, Vietnam. Also called "Hoi An Lanterns," the organic shapes of these lanterns come from the fish traps upon which they are based. Traditionally hung on the full moon, these hanging lamps are meant to bring good luck to the house they inhabit!

Happy Cliche Saturday!

Hello from Vietnam!

Hello from Vietnam!

Taken this shot while traveling on the night sleeper train from Hanoi to Hue. It has been very tiring and long 13 hours journey and I did not see any "sun" basically for past one week as most part of Vietnam are in wet and cloudy conditions.

I'm glad I still able to watch such a beautiful sunrise during the journey.

Sunrising (Penang)

Sunrising (Penang)

This should be one of my best ever seen sunrise! I can see this big red egg yolk rising in extremely fast pace.

Penang island is really a fantastic place to live. I felt lucky and proud to be a Penangite!

Happy Cliche Saturday!!
