    ... so I'm not claiming to be a professional, but I think I got some pretty nice ones?

    I like this one, but I'd have waited for the person bottom left to step out of frame

    I'd have been waiting an awful long time, he's the shopkeeper and is sat down.

    Be sure to go out a shot around home a lot before you go, so you know all the knobs etc on the camera before you go, get a spare battery, bring loads of memory cards, a laptop for backing up if you can, and delete nothing till you get home.:)

    yeah lovely photos there alright! composition is pleasing in pretty much all of them! Exotic locations have serious impact to though. I dare say the majority of our own surroundings over here are a little uninspired.

    Yep, you're absolutely right. Hoi An fast became one of my favourite places ever by far. Photos could never do it and it's atmosphere justice though.

    .. and Hoi An beach.....

    By far my favourite place in South East Asia, it's just such a beautiful place, how I wish I was back there now!

    Unfortunately though I doubt Hoi An will always be the magical place it is now. Up and down the country you can see that the Vietnamese government and investors are preparing for a huge influx of tourism in the coming years, with all the resorts popping up all over the place. There's no way a small town like Hoi An, one of Vietnams main attractions, would be able for such a huge amount of people. Already it's beginning to feel overrun.
