Delicious offerings from the streets of Hoi An

Along the ancient streets of Hoi An, is the vibrant farmers market; a place where women in leaf hats barter with customers and chat to locals. Small mountains of exotic fruits and vegetables brighten up the surroundings and fresh sugar cane is pulped in to juice.  Vietnamese cuisine is some of the best I’ve had – the streets are crawling with authentic food and cooking classes are widely available so you can master the local specialities. 

Eating with Seoul; a vegan festival

After the painless Saturday morning operation of moving to a new apartment, less than 200m from our school, Molly and I ventured north of the Han River to the annual vegan festival held in the Seoul Innovation Park. Nestled at the foot of the Bukhansan National Park is a centre for stimulating the creative economy with consideration to social and environmental issues – a perfect place to hold a vegan festival.
