Vietnam: Day 19

Day 19 (Thursday, Jan 22, 09): Hoi An Cooking Class and motorbike tour (B, L, G)
In the morning, we'll be picked up at 8:15 from our hotel to go to the Hoi An local market to purchase ingredients for our cooking class at a local restaurant in Hoi An. We will learn how to cook some of the traditional food in Hoi An.
In the afternoon, you'll be taken on the back of motorbikes to visit some of the rural villages around Hoi An. After stopping en-route to enjoy the rural scenery and be introduced to the villagers' lifestyle, you'll head to a small village in Dien Quange district where you can see a silkworm farm and learn breeding process. In the later afternoon, you'll reture to your hotel for overnight accommodation.

Looking back...
Definitely one of the best days. The motorbike tour lasted for about 6 hours and it was great to just drive around and see the countryside. My driver was really cool; he drove like a madman, and a lot like how I drive. Took a lot of shots for stop motion purposes, which I still haven't used. The cooking class was at night and it was so delicious and not as hands on as we expect. It was also at a really nice resturant that was clearly designed for tourists. Nonetheless, it was still great.
