Photographer's Note
An elderly Chinese tourist takes a ride in a cyclo in downtown Hoi An.
---
HOI AN is high on everyone's list of places to visit in Vietnam. And rightly so. It is very beautiful. It can also get very, very crowded, particularly on weekends when little Hoi An gets invaded mainly by Asian tourists.
Still I'd recommend a visit. And be sure to try the local cuisine, which is quite different from the rest of the country. The city centre is traffic free and there are plenty of interesting places to visit. But sometimes just people watching can be fun too.

Hallo Benny,
Een mooie impressie van het drukke leven in deze straat met veel mensen aan beide zijden en de Chinese dame in het midden. De kleuren zijn heel aantrekkelijk, zeker de gele delen, maar ook de overhangende paarse bladeren.

Wonderfully captured crowd with the lady tourist taking a prominent place and making for a good point of focus. Lovely colours and warm light and it's good to see a traffic-free street where pedestrians can enjoy safety.
Crowds of Asian tourists can be photogenic and you used that fact well to your advantage.

Dag Benny,
Mooie opname van deze dame die zich rustig door de hectische straten laat vervoeren. De paarse bloemen contrasteren perfect met het donkere geel van de huizen.
Groet, Gerrit

Hello Benny, Very very crowded but beautiful and I liked it. A nice composition with the bougainvillaea flowers framing it from above.
Not good when there are so many tourists, but a very strange feeling to be the only tourist, especially to be the lone woman in the Arabic world. It was exciting!
Kind regards MAlgo

Hi Benny
A great POV, love the busyness of the image but I will wonder for ever about what she's looking at amongst the hectic crowd with other things on her mind! A beautiful street snap in such an iconic location but thumbs up for spotting this opportunity. Excellent candid.
Best regards
