What 21 Bucks A Night Buys You in Hoi An, Vietnam:

View of pool and back garden (as seen from the restaurant serving up the complimentary breakfast buffet).

Offerings

So Pretty!

Everything here is garnished so extravagantly, whether it's a drink or your afternoon ice cream. Cinnamon ice cream ALWAYS tastes better with a pineapple spear and a kicky pink umbrella...

Hanoi at Night

Guess Who, Bitches?

Good Morning, Vietnam!

I've arrived in Hanoi. And I see no reason to ever leave.

This place is like Paris in the 1920's...or at least it's what I imagine Paris in the 20's felt like. Beautiful architecture, lovely people, plenty of expats, and it's all surrounding the most picturesque lake you'll ever see. It's all ridiculously cheap. And even the garbage bins are pretty.

Scarlett in Kuala Lumpur

Sayonara, Japan!

Amazing waterfalls. Geisha in Gion. Rooftop parties to watch fireworks. And most of all -- reconnecting with old friends. I'll miss Japan. A lot.

You Can Say That Again...

Oh, Japan...

Tokyo, Day and Night

Arigato, California!

And thank you Judge Vaughn Walker!

This random, quirky, delightful Indian sentiment spotted in Goa is apropos, I think. (Sorry about the shitty picture quality.)

Harajuku Girl

Wanna completely appreciate the cleanliness and order of Japan?

Spend a month in India.

(Outfits spotted by moi in Harajuku this weekend. Erika Lynn, I came SO CLOSE to buying you these hotpants. Luckily, sanity prevailed.)

Goa, Goa, Gone

This monsoon makes the dogs cranky and the mosquitoes ravenous.

And Goa -- normally a vacation paradise -- is mostly closed for business.

So that's it for India. For now, anyway.
