Food for taught - part two

Food for taught - part one

Hello everyone,

My previous post was suppose to be my last one about Vietnam but then I realised that I barely talked about one of my favourite thing to do while traveling: visiting the local markets.

And the food markets in Asia are definitely worth a visit. Full of life and colours and strange food, they are a shutterbug AND an epicurean dream. I guess that would explain why I love them so much… ;-) So I couldn’t resist doing one – or two – extra entry about Vietnam.

But doing justice to the markets I visited in Vietnam only in with words in extremely difficult. The experience is too sensual, to intense. Between the roasted meat smell mixing up with a more muddy, fish like perfume, the sounds of locals chatting and going around there business, the fun and new colours and shape of food you’ve never seen before and the occasional escape of a chicken or eel cutting you off, you’ll always be busy.

So instead of loosing myself in words, here are a few pictures taken in the many Vietnamese markets I visited. They can never do justice to the real thing but I hope they’ll inspire you to swing by the local food market on your next trip.

Happy Easter everyone! H.

Here she goes again, around her world

Well, here it is. (French at the bottom)

I've been thinking about this for a little while and finally decided to go ahead with this project. I figure this will be an easier way to do something interesting some of my work and share it with the rest of the world. And, really, it's a lot easier to maintain then the website I did before....

So, what to expect here?

This is mostly a travel blog. I love to move around, exploring new cities, country, and culture. I have tons of travel stories and this seems like the best way to share them. It also helps that am big on writing and taking pictures. With a little luck, some of these posts will distract you. If they can be helpful, even better. Heck, I sure hope I can come across some other travel savvy buddies and we can exchange tips and stories.

From time to time you'll also find post on culture - literature, movies and photography - and food. Those are my two other majors interests and feed me on a daily basis. And I want to brag and show off some of my pictures too. What can I say.... I've always been a sucker for a cute smile or a good compliment!

So I hope you'll like this!

Le voici enfin.

Il y a déjà un petit moment que je réfléchis à ce projet et c'est aujourd'hui que l'aventure commence. Après tout, bloguer est fort probablement la façon la plus simple et la plus rapide de partager mon travail et mes pensées avec le reste du monde.

Alors... À quoi s'attendre sur ce blog?

D'abord et avant tout des histoires de voyage. J'adore bouger, explorer de nouvelles villes, nouveaux pays, découvrir de nouvelles cultures. J'ai des tonnes d'histoires et d'anecdotes de voyages et ce blog semble être la meilleur façon de les partager. Et j'adore écrire et prendre des photos alors ça devrait être plutôt intéressant... Avec un peu de chances, certains de ces commentaires vont vous distraire. Et si vous pouvez y retrouver des informations qui seront utiles à vos voyages, encore mieux. Après tout, moi aussi j'espère bien rencontrer d'autres passionnés de voyages et partager trucs et histoires.

Vous trouverez aussi de temps en temps des commentaires sur la culture - littérature, cinéma et photographie - et sur la bouffe. Ce sont là mes autres champs d'intérêt et ces activités me nourissent au quotidien. Et très honnêtement, j'ai envie de montrer quelques-unes de mes meilleures photos...

Ah oui! Pourquoi bilingue? Pour le moment c'est un voeux pieux de ma part. Je veux que le français ait sa place sur le web. Mais c'est pas mal plus long...

Allez, j'espère que cela vous plaira!
