One of the highlights for me this year was attending the 25th Rainforest World Music Festival near Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia,

Another reminder of our recent trip to Vietnam.

One of our favourite spots was the Banana Split Cafe in Hoi An, which was near the river and opposite the big tailor and dressmaker's market.

We'd sit there (usually with a G&T) to just people-watch and enjoy soaking up the ancient town's vibe.

This is a slow video in which not much happens. There's no editing. No camera movements. No narration. Just life as it happened for about ten minutes on one particular day.

If you've not been to Vietnam, this will give you a little taste of what it's like to be there.

During my recent trip to Vietnam, I visited the small fishing village of Tam Than, which is about an hour's drive south of Hoi An. Tam Thanh is known as The Painted Village because in 2016 a group of South Korean and Vietnamese artists painted murals on over 100 houses and buildings there. It was a great experience to visit this most interesting little town.

Here's my video of that visit:

Situated near the city of Siem Reap in Cambodia is Tonle Sap, a lake which can double in size during the wet season.

Tonle Sap belongs to the Mekong River system and is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. Also one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the world.

The lake is known for its floating villages, as many people live on the lake where they make a living from fishing and other pursuits.

The Tonlé Sap Lake District has always been a vital fishing and agricultural production area for Cambodia, and it has largely maintained Angkor, the largest pre-industrial settlement complex in history.
